>>2993094 >Yes, I know the risks. Then you know there is a better alternative. Picture related. Which you clearly DON'T know about, which means you are an idiot. Idiots should never be sold products they 'think' should exist.
>>2993153 60309 version of this but one where there is also an electrical isolation switch which is interlocked and cannot be connected until a plug is fully inserted and stops the plug being removed until switched off again.
But I would suggest most people who need a gen often enough to add a socket for it might as well hardwire it into a supply changeover switch and build a little shed around it or something to keep it in permanently.
>>2993153 It shouldn't ever be wired up so it could do that. That's the point. The male prongs there are never hot. They are sitting there cold waiting for you to plug an extension cord in, and then your connex box or whatever will be powered.
And this way you never had to make a suicide plug.
>>2993153 That should only be on the cold side of the connection. You can get them for running the power for a wall-mounted TV down. They're literally just as dangerous as an unplugged power cord.
The reason male-male cords aren't allowed is because you can plug one end into the hot and have exposed pins with a live charge.
>>2993176 so you want to power an entire house through a flimsy plug made for powering home appliance? why don't you just pour some gasoline on your house and set it on fire?
>>2993094 I would kinda like one of these someday, but this is because my house breaker is actually secondary to a larger breaker outside the house, meaning, I could switch off the breaker that powers the indoor breaker box, and therefore power the inside of the house without sending power back out onto the grid. I doubt YOUR house is like this though. it also means I'd lack powering my fridge, sadly, because it is on that outdoor breaker box, but oh well.
Anyone ever use anderson connectors to connect their generator to their main panel. I've been looking for some sort of plug solution robust enough to handle the amperages I want to potentially generate. Have a 200A pto generator. I'm thinking a sub box off my main box with some short beefy wires and anderson connectors with an interlock in the main box where you can't turn power on to them unless the main is disconnected.
>>2993620 >anderson connectors with an interlock in the main box where you can't turn power on to them unless the main is disconnected. Some kind of sliding shutter linked to the main switch that covers the anderson connector when the switch is on and prevents turning it on if there's an anderson plugged in?
>>2993094 Kid, most people think dipping any live wire of any strength into water turns the water into a death zone. For the love of fuck, never underestimate the depths of human stupidity.
>>2993094 Clearly you do need to be lectured >>2993100 OP's stupid ass waste of a thread destroyed by one answer >>2993153 By that logic, so does any appliance that you plug in. These receptacles are used on the downstream side and so the pins will never be exposed at the same time they are hot.
>>2993823 If you plug the two ends into two different circuits they'll potentially be out of phase with each other and pass quite a lot of current before the breakers trip. Enough to cause sparks, melted insulation, general excitement, possibly fire.
>>2994020 >two different circuits well of fucking course you don't want to bridge two different circuits but I'm picturing plugging it into the top and bottom plugs of a singular outlet (or maybe two outlets on the same breaker......?) and I don't think anything would happen in that case maybe I wouldn't be willing to bridge two outlets on the same breaker but come on, both plugs in one outlet, there's no way it blows up
>>2993094 I hope you fucking kill yourself and not someone else you stupid cunt. I got zapped by one of these last week in some dudes van. He also blew up his inverter when he plugged the van into mains at the same time.
