Generator hook-up

Posted by Roy Suomi on October 28, 2006 at 21:44:03 from (69.165.41.192):

I've been pondering hooking up my vintage Homelite 5000 watt generator to my house for back-up power..I know the right way to do it is a switching box to disconnect from the input from utility co...Is it acceptable to throw the main bteaker off. Then hook up to a 220 dryer plug to feed the box that way?? It seems to me I would be feeding the buss bars without an expensive switching box..Any comments?? I don't have any inclination of running any 220 appliances with the genset..Just fridge , sump pump , and some lighting..
