Default Lets put mains on to the pins of a plug!

Does he have a death wish or merely wants to burn out parts of his wiring
perhaps?

It sounds like a lazy persons test idea. Its not going to actually cost much
to put the right switching in place between the mains and his other system
which we do hope is protected for overloads. grin.

He's generating low voltage 3 phase AC from a water powered turbine,
rectifying it to 24V DC and then using a inverter to generate 110V AC
(this is the USA). This is then wired to a standard USA plug which he
plugs into a wall socket - almost the equivalent of having an extension
lead with a main plug on each end

He doesn't know much about electricity but his mate wired it to "code".

He uses a shop vac to start his generator by introducing a vacuum in the
pipe which is then maintained allowing water to flow faster than it would
with just a simple syphon arrangement.
