Ya every lazy **** thinks that way when someone actually works at something.

Closer to a full second or more, if its operating properly. Thats all it takes to kill someone. But ya the breaker tripping before you turn anything on is the first clue your an idiot. Heres a video for those who think a breaker will save you when you become the path to ground...

Yes designed so the load can only be fed with a single feed at one time. Why does code require it to be soon fool proof......well some posts in this thread are prime examples.

Back feeding through a single 15A circuit will only liven up half you panel.....now you have to rearrange breakers? A cord with two male ends? Seriously? There are safer ways. We back feed panels all the time....no cords with two male ends. Like I said, idiots.

Everything I assumed? How does back feeding the panel through a plug, using the main breaker as isolation from the grid magically turn into a proper isolation switch/ portable generator setup? And if your family is freezing to death there are much safer ways to restore enough power to get the...

said person is the hydro worker servicing the lines at the street. While the power is still out your generator would be feeding power back out to the street.

Its called a transfer switch.....you can stop back peddling now. Thats a far cry from " backfeeding through a plug to the main panel, where the main breaker was tripped to stop backfeeding the grid," I dont need to "read up" on it....I have installed many....mostly commercial. Just correcting...

either this story is BS or your neighbor is an idiot. Which plug are you going to backfeed from exactly? A standard 15A receptacle? There are reasons why this wont even work. If hydro or ESA ever got wind of a setup like that they would pop your meter and ask you to schedule and inspection...

That is NEVER legal. When we back feed panels the feeds a disconnected. A breaker is not a safe means of disconnect between two different power sources.

Well how much current does it take to kill a person? Also when your backfeeding the entire grid how do you expect to power anything in your own home? BTW, breakers dont trip that fast. In the time it takes the average 15 amp breaker to trip you will see 100 + amps on a clamp meter....way more...

Transfer switch at the panel wired to the location of your generator. Your needs/budget determine what you can power....a 200 amp setup is going to be pricey. Most importantly get someone who know what they are doing to install it. Make sure there is a permit or you could end up with a death...

Those who ride motorcycles/ those who own motorcycles that they use to compensate for certain inadequacies.

Get some riding experience and you wont need hp to get you out of situations. Cant believe a guy who post about running from cops/ not needing insurance is posting about how dangerous a small bike is on the highway. I will ride a cbr 125 on any GTA highway at any time of day. Id ride my ktm...

Lol

Ya that bike didnt hit the car.

You cant ride something like that on the street and stick around for long, someone always calls the cops.

I have the tom tom app on my phone and use it every day. No data usage and it works perfect. It will even take you to the location a photo was taken on your phone.

Your were on the road? They arnt off road fines then. They are REALLY going to go against your insurance.

Well the rest of us ride where its legal.

If your insured and plate why would you be running?
