Default Power Cuts/Generators yet again

One of the easiest ways to distribute your generator power is to "back
feed"
it into a ring main.


First of all, once the power goes off, switch OFF the isolator in the

CU,
then switch off all the breakers.


Make up a very dangerous lead with the generator connected to one end

and a
3 pin plug on the other, then plug this into a socket on your ring main.


To Paul W I would say please go right ahead and do it, as a matter of
some urgency. It might help remove some defective genes from the human
gene pool.

To anyone else - DO NOT DO IT! That is some of the worst advice I have
ever seen.


As long you are carefull, this is still the safest and easiest way of
powering household appliances during a power cut as everything is well
earthed.

It is only bad advice if not followed correctly.

Paul.
