I had a separate thread where I was discussing some energy usage questions, during that issue, we actually had the utility company come out and check the house and hook up a line recorder due to some high voltage issues. I had the utility worker look at the setup and he suggested a transfer switch, but didn't really comment more than that or say it was faulty, dangerous, illegal as installed, etc. I take safety deadly serious and that is why I posed the question on here, I will not take the risk of having a system back feed into the grid and potentially cause harm. And from a financial aspect, that would suck too to lose a generator worth a couple thousand bucks. I would like to test the systems out, but am obviously wanting to approach that step slowly rather than flip breaker, power up and see what happens. I will post pics of the electric panels, but it seems to be the best thing to do would have an electrician who installs back up genny systems to come out and take a look and make his suggestions. A couple hundred bucks for that expertise it will cost me isn't worth the potential risk and liability of not verifying it is GTG.
