..............For those who would like to Feed the Power from their genset back INTO their home ...............Here is a relatively CHEAP...Method ...(1) You need a 50amp\240 volt wall mount plug like you would use for a Crackerbox welder. This plug is then wired into the fuse panel with #8 gauge wire with 2 hots and a gnd. You will want to hook each 120 volt "hot" leg to a 20 amp breaker.
...........................(2) You can....Back Feed the output of the Genset INTO the 50 amp welder plug straitup into the breaker panel and from there the power will be available for ALL circuits in your home\shop.
...........................(3) To DO THIS ....YOU MUST have a Fused Breaker panel on a power pole that CUTS OFF ALL power coming FROM the Power grid. This is a firewall against you accidentially feeding 240 volts from the grid into your genset.
.........................(4) I have 100 amp service and a double 50 amp breaker that I can turn OFF anytime it is necessary. So, when MY grid power goes OFF, I simply switch my double 50 amp breaker to OFF. Then I can fireup my genset and feed its power back into my breaker panel and wait for the grid power to be restored.............fordy.....
