Let me start by saying I know this is very dangerous and I don't plan
on doing it (I have a new generator and new uninstalled transfer
switch) so save your flames. I plan on installing my transfer switch
when I get some time in the next month or two.

I read a post suggesting that in a power outage, you could flip your
main breaker off to prevent anything going to the lines and killing a
line worker, and use a suicide cord from your generator to you clothes
dryer outlet (240 vac) and then your main panel would serve as your
switch for what circuits are using the generator--and that this would
power both 240 and 120 outlets.

As dangerous as this is, is this even possible?


Yes, it is possible......BUT only a person with your special
qualifications (beerguzzler50) should even THINK about doing
it, let alone actually TRYING to do it....... I think the
"I was drunk at the time" defense might actually work for you.
