Wrong plug

alpercata

In answer to Gig's question, yes it is on the same curcuit. I realize that this is not code compliant, but if I disconnect the furnace from the house power by unplugging it and then plug it into the generator it will not pose any danger to lineman.

When you plug equipment directly into the generator there is no issue regarding lineman. When you feed a panel with a generator there is a real issue for lineman and the generator. It (generator) must have a manual or automatic transfer switch, or a mechanical interlock that prevents back feeding the utility transformer.

alpercata, please do not post a reply to a question in a totally new thread. Just reply in the same thread you are answering.
This thread is now confusing because no one knows what you are talking about.

Maybe a mod can merge.
