Emergency Power Generator Connection Help Needed

[armylifer]

Not trying to dog pile but this is the piece that would scare me the most. A safe and budget conscious plan would be to get the interlock switch for your existing panel, install a recessed male receptacle, and you could easily replace your dryer and generator cord with a female locking plug (just guessing you used the dryer as that is what most DIYers do).

Good luck!

Been doing it for more than 30 years. No mishap yet. Thanks for the concern.

I use the Gener Link. Easiest way I know of. One cord from Generator other end connects to outlet on bottom of meter. Sold by my power company. No extra breaker box. It uses your existing box.
