Course take it to its logical conclusion you'd need a standby generator
as well for the odd chance of a power cut.

yes so?

Do you have cuts for a week? Machine breaks down, appointment for the
service man, he comes, orders part, fixes it. It under a week you are very
lucky.

but then we are miles out in deepest Norfolk and get several power cuts a
year.. and served? by 24/7

You can buy a 3kW genny for £200. Have a throwover switch on your CU so
that when there is a cut, you plug in the genny and the essential circuits
are served.


That would be highly dangerous. There is specific protective
switchgear for connecting a generator to replace a house supply.
