How would this not load the generator or inverter into oblivion?Not sure I understand your question. Say again, please.
If you hook 100KW of neighbors up to your 5KW/20% THD garden generator it would probably trip the breaker, or stall.
I suppose it could be an issue if it was a single house on a branch where the break being serviced was just that branch (rural customers.)
Was just curious why it wouldn't overload the generator trying to power all the neighbors houses if connected to the grid.
