[QUOTE="cowadle, post: 3614302, member: 7203"] that is correct. but pulling the meter is viable in an emergency to protect from backfeeding. there are much better alternatives but require a little thinking ahead. the best in my opinion is a three pole double throw switch installed below the meter. then just plug in the generator get it started and warmed up and throw the switch. if power comes back you can threow the switch and shut off the gen. let your breaker panel in the house do it's job and if you need to you can turn off circuits if you need. the breaker on the gen becomes the main breaker. don't forget to ground properly.
