Generator backfeed revisited
replying to HA HA Budys Here, Liazard wrote:
utilities haven't come out with an "Additional temporary input / utility bypass" meter pan? -Power fails -Bring portable generator to meter location. -Open side access door of meter pan (Which physically disconnects meter from utility source) -Inside side access is a recessed 20 or 30 or 40 (to match generator's rating) ampere male plug. -Attach female end of extention cord to meter bypass outlet -Attach male end of cord to generator. Optional: A solenoid operated ejector which, upon restoration of utility's power, would "punch" the cord out of the side input socket and the door would spring shut. Another option: a fireman switch on the door cover which would shut down the genset if the door isn't open. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...ed-504156-.htm |
