First, don’t connect your generator directly to your home’s wiring. Connecting a portable electric generator directly to your household wiring can be deadly to you and others. A generator that is directly connected to your home’s wiring can “back feed” onto the power lines connected to your home. Utility transformers can then “step-up” or increase this back feed to thousands of volts – enough to injure or kill a utility lineman making outage repairs a long way from your house.
