So the issue here is even a small 120vac current becomes a very fatal event at 7.2 or 11 or 14.4kV. It’s a safety issue for linepersons doing emergency restoration work.

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. - Ethan
