In theory, a breaker trips on the generator. How fast? Well,
depends if it's a Federal Pacific Electric breaker on the
generator.

Question:

Let's say a person tries to backfeed a generator into a home
(without
the proper xfer switch) that has *not* been isolated from
the grid by
tripping the Main breaker of the home. The generator is now
feeding
back into the grid to all the rest of the homes on the grid
and trying
to power all of their electrical loads.

What happens to that 5 or 6 kW generator? How soon will it
happen?
