Things that could happen. 1 You could feed power to the main line which can kill or injure anyone working on the main line. 2 Without the proper control switch. You could be subject to large fines. 3 If the power company finds out. They could pull your meter. Taking your house off the grid. 4 You will be liable for any damage you cause. Also your insurance could be canceled. 5 If power comes back and back feeds your genset. It will turn into a smoking pile of junk. 6 If you need a generator at your house. Have it installed the proper way by a company that does installs.


Where do most of the wires in a house come from?

The wires in a house typically come from the main electrical panel, which is connected to the external power source. From the main panel, the wires branch out to different areas of the house to supply electricity to outlets, switches, lights, and appliances. The wiring is typically hidden behind walls, ceilings, and floors for safety and aesthetic reasons.


Can you attach a generator to your sub panel and back feed your house main panel I have a 125 amp breaker in the main that feeds the sub through 2 aught wire?

Yes but it has to be a synchronous generator like the ones used on the grid, and it has to be run up and phased before being connected. That is because all the generators on a grid run at the same speed and phase (the phase of an individual generator alters a little depending on the power flow from it).

No. Any connections to the detached garage have to be after the main disconnect of your house panel. You have two options here. You can replace meter with a meter disconnect combo and have the main feed your house and add a breaker to feed the garage or You could install a 400 ap service and place two disconnects at the meter. one for the house and one for the garage. unless you are going to have a serious electrial load in the garage you sould just feed off the panel in the house for cost effectiveness.

Will turning off the main breaker turn off all the power to the circuit breaker box?

No. Power to all the circuit breakers will be cut off except for the Main power breaker. The Main power breaker (which supplies power to all other breakers and will say 100, or whatever your max breaker box power is, on it )will have power going to it all the time, unless power is turned off outside the house.
