It would be safer to install a recessed-male plug somewhere instead of

But you don't really want the male plug connected to a normal breaker in
the panel, either, because it would become live with exposed hot metal
parts if someone turned the breaker on by accident when the panel was
under utility power. That's at least as suicidal.



Excellent point. Thanks.
