Default Power Cuts/Generators yet again

On 08/01/2004 Paul W opined:-
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.
This will back feed the whole ring main, so ensure only the devices you want
to run (taking into account the power of the generator) are switched on.


All very dangerous advice as well as highly illegal and you might well
find yourself in court on a manslaughter charge.
