[QUOTE="condor22, post: 211066, member: 1932"] Apart from the danger, It is Illegal to wire up a generator to any mains supplied household meter box. It is also Illegal to wire anything into a meter box unless you are a licensed electrician. I use my Honda 2kVA and on occasion the Ryobi 1kVA I have, for the household during longer power outages. However, I run an extension lead inside to a power board to keep the fridges and freezers going plus the TV, DVD and a couple of lights if at night and that totals much less than 2kVA. When refuelling if it coughs and splutters, the power output will generally cut out without damaging the above, but I wouldn't risk it with a computer. The easiest thing (with familiarity of your genny) is to deliberately switch appliances off, disconnect the power board, turn the genny off, refuel/top up before it runs out of fuel. Then do the reconnect/start up again. Diligence is required, you can make a system fool proof, but you can't make them idiot proof........ [/QUOTE]
