PLEASE, PLEASE don't. One some one *will* leave that plugged into a

Also take serious note about the lack of N E bonding on a generator
and the earthing requirement of the generator.

The other thing to bear in mind is that some one is also bound to turn
on something that is far to large a load for your generator. What
happens then is unpredicatable, it may simply stall, it may stuggle
badly with the volts and current going all over the place causeing
damage to it or other connected equipment, or it might appear to cope
but burst into flame a short while latter.

All that remains, is to open a curtain to see when the power comes
back on again and reverse the connections.

How does that show the power is back on during the day? It wouldn't
work up here anyway, nearest street light is 1 1/2 miles away fed off
a different 11kV line.
