Back feeding electric power into the utility lines is dangerous for the repair crews working on utility lines.Same advice applies to solar or stationery storage inverters. Typically,these are automated enough to disconnect from the grid after an outage,
if
you don't have a local battery; or the battery inverter will isolate
away How would this not load the generator or inverter into oblivion?(Just curious, I know people who use a suicide cord usually turn off the main breaker.)
