I do the same thing as you and afew others. My generator is out in the
shop,
100' away. When the power goes out, I open both the 200 amp main breaker
and
the 100 amp breaker feeding the shop. Out in the shop. I open the 50 amp
breaker for the welder and plug in the "suicide cable". Then I start the
generator, close the 50 amp breaker and go back to the house where I close
the 100 amp breaker. I think someone that has trouble dressing themselves
in
the morning might find this all too much,


So to be clear, your earlier posts are simply rationalization for your
decision to run your generator in violation of code.


He obviously does not give a **** about the lives of linesmen working
near his house. He chooses to play GOD with their lives. He is truly a
very selfish person.

a transfer switch.

Of course there is, it may not be convenient or cheap, but it can be
done.
