Couple of good pages on lineman safety, and home owner safety. During the
recent storms, at least one lineman was killed by a home owner wtih a
generator. Please, folks, don't be responsible for the death of the guys
who
are trying to help you.

I must have been a huge generator. The load created by backfeeding a system
would be enormous. A homeowners generator is not likely to have the power
to manage this. However, when I use my 5500w, I always disconnect the main
breaker first.
