Using Generator As Backup For House Power

Hey to all:

A point to always remember is that the local power company's
GENERATOR IS BIGGER THAN YOUR GENERATOR. If at any time your
generator tries to butt heads with theirs, you will pay dearly. Over
the years I have seen the results of situations similiar to this.

The power companys go to great lengths to protect their linemen from
unwanted voltage during disasters. They have cut out locations or cut
the wires to isolate areas that they are working on. Also they ground
the phase wires close to the area they are working. The theory is
that electricity will take the path of the least restistance. The
lead people also drive or walk the area looking for dangers to the
linemen.

Cheapest and easiest way to use your bus genny is to run an extension
cord to whatever you want to power.
