Portable Generator
We live in an area that lost power due to snowstorms and heat is obviously the main concern and so is the light. With a portable generator on wheels connected to the electric battery in the house and things? Do you fall out and plug parked outside the house and the cable to the circuit breaker? They have no idea how it would work. Or you do it rolled out when needed from the shed and plug it. Thank you very much. Essentially – You will not be able to run around the house in a portable generator. More importantly, if you just "bridge" in your house wiring, which will put it back into the power grid voltage, and can kill a utility worker. Its fuel burning generator should be operated outside, so do not kill. Chained to a tree so they do not steal. Run an extension cord heavy duty through a window into a power strip and plug in your refrigerator and a couple of small lamps. That's probably about all that will be capable of running on a portable generator. If you want to invest in your own generator, permanent backup, you can do better. Such systems operate piped propane gas bottled or natural gas, and can be connected to a transfer switch that allows you to run the control circuits of your heating system and hot water heater and furnace fan, the well pump, sump pump, refrigerator and electric lights. Do not expect to run the air conditioning or heating system in that purely electric. Any generator must be sized to suit the load.

Ask an electrician about it. . .

You need an electrician, but it can be done. It will put a cap on the outside of your home and connect to your service panel (breaker). It will launch the generator outside and connect it to a plate enchufe.Habr slides up on the service panel to engage the generator power, but will be configured so that you can only do this if your main switch house is open (off). This is to prevent your generator's electricity from leaving home and going to go out and potentially damaging to someone working on a downed line.
