There is the right way to hook up a generator and then there is the way I'm hooking mine up.
I'm sticking
this at the end of a dryer cord and plugging it into where the dryer normally plugs in.
Spent one day this week marking all my breakers. After I was done I thought it was kind of strange how many spares I have. Especially since they reused my old sub-panel and attached it to my new sub-panel. I have all the spares left off but so far everything in my house works.
When I loose my power I have to walk around the back and flip off the 200 amp main. Then plug in the generator into the dryer outlet in my garage. Flip off all the breakers in the sub-panels in my garage except for what the generator will run and then start the generator that I've wheeled out of my garage into my driveway.
This should be really fun to do in the middle of a hurricane. lol
