I was quite serious about the generator cord. I've seen more people with these things. When I say anything people look at me like I'm nuts. And I'm serious about the injured lineman. He spent time in the hospital and his hair did turn white and still is. If people would just spend the extra cash for a transfer switch his person would not have been injured.

Joe, can you give more information on why this the hotel needed this type of 'device'. Why did they need to backfeed something? The only other time I've seen the 'need' for something like this is because someone made some type of power distribution box and was backfeeding it because they didn't purchase the proper devices to do it correctly.

I agree with you. The unqualified people have no clue about what they are doing. I n longer like to go into the electrical sections of home improvement centers because I have to overhear what some people are planning.
