Default Interlock locks to be used in lieu of transfer switch

That too but the neutral is only grounded (bonded) in one spot. It is
not grounded everywhere and can and will carry current and can induce
voltages in other parts of the circuits. This is why the neutral must
be transfered also.

According to Solar Flaire :
It would if the live fed through your house load and back fed the
neutral from the grid.


That's only one wire, and it's grounded anyway. The problem is
more along the lines of if you're using a 240V circuit = you're
backfeeding the grid's connected hot via the house load from the
generator's connected hot. Plus the neutral = you're backfeeding
half of the grid feed.
