[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2030117, member: 7629"] what's needed to prevent such tragedies is a two pole, double throw switch for single phase 220v between meter and fusebox. this completely isolates house's circuits from grid. if power feedback from genset reaches transformers, voltage will be stepped up to full line voltage. a very dangerous situation indeed for lineman working on that circuit. simplest method to avoid any problems is to run HD extension cords from genset to what ever needs power. all power stays isolated to appliances. a bit messier with cords all over, but no question where power is going to.
