I use a Square D interlock kit on my 200A
QO panel with a 30A generator feed breaker. It works very well and
the OEM interlock kit was ~$60.


Umm ... the GE's that I found were $150. Why should they be so much
more? Anyhow, I just use the old turn-off-the-main-breaker & back
feed through the welder circuit.

Be prepared to catch a ration of **** for doing it that way . I do it the
same thru the shop subpanel , and every time it comes up I get accused of
trying to fry a lineman or something . Hmm , I was just thinking , if a guy
wired them up right a set of lights could not only tell when the power came
back on but could let you synchronize with the grid for uninterrupted
service .
