Default Generator wiring options

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


Ball park? 1sec?, 1min?, 1hour?

And before the breaker on the generator trips, the 5kW gen is trying
to feed several hundred kW on the grid. ISTM that the gen would stop
dead even if the gen breaker didn't pop.
