[QUOTE="jb, post: 225755, member: 749"] Not trying to give advise on these ideas, please be sure to open the main before you do anything when the lights go out just go to the main first and either open or i perfer u pull out of the panel because these things can go bad and we all know you can not visually see the opening in the breaker Me and many others "lineman" hate generators just for this reason because of backfeed it can be fatal for us with that said not only does it effect us it effects Ur generators 2 because when we ground the system the generator is connected to it with either fry Ur generator or equipment it is connected to... If the breaker doesn't operate correctly If we hear a generator running we will check it out but if there is 10 miles of line out that generator 6 miles down the road won't be heard. Just saying to keep from possibly damaging equip. Or other please be sure to I hope u pull the main Also on the dryer plug u might want to check and see how many amps it is good for before you run alot of amps through it because there could possibly be a fire between ur gen. And panel depending on ur gen. Breakerdepending on how old the plug is or cord on Ur generator Not trying to overide the topic just trying to help I hope this might help [/QUOTE]
