Thanks guys...
So to reiterate... Both methods are acceptable according to the NEC? That is.. Breaking the Neutral or not...?
That's really the back bone of my questions... the other thing was a tangent... but then I digress... again...lol
I'm aware that the BEST method is to use a UL approved transfer switch... But I'm still in question as to who has the better homemade system (remember my neighbor and I are both qualified electricians and we keep an eye on our unorthodox contraptions...) He with the backfed breaker... or myself with the elaborate ( and fail-safe , if I may add.....) cord and plug system...Easy on the flames... neither of us would approve a customer getting such a setup...but I do want to know what you think.
