something as simple as shuffling breakers in his panel and installing a sliding piece of sheet metal that forces you to open the main breaker before closing the generator breaker is acceptable.
I saw 1 for a square D, but can't find it again.
I suppose for a RESPONSIBLE electrician we could make one.
I'm using a 10 ckt gen tran right now. and 5500 honda-
I'm on a well and gas heat/HW and never had a problem (over a week some times)
This year I WILL have my CHRISTMAS lights on the generator.
Neighbors hate that. but warm up some nice rum spiced cider...... All is good again!!
