Did you know theres a safe easier way Legal too!!!

I think its cutler hammer that has a special breaker for generator
connection.

either the main breaker can be on OR the generator but not both.

completely code legal you install this dual pole 240 volt breaker
connect your generator and your good to go.

Someone posted a link recently WAY cheaper than a transfer switch, no
mucking with meter or even permits if your so inclined

Anyone who would replace a Main Breaker with the Meter (Power still on)
still inplace, is either CRAZY, or STUPID..... which one are you???
