I could be wrong but I think that breaker interlock is not legal. It looks like you have to remove it in order to take the panel cover off. Someone could then power the generator without throwing the breaker.

Yes sir,
Why would somebody remove the interlock kit in order to take the panel cover off, then power the generator without throwing the main breaker?

That is stupid, contrary to all saftey practices and against the law.
Do you understand now, sir?

You are very contentious, sarcastic and extremely sensitive. Have you considered law school? What does "wow" mean anyway? I find it in every one of your posts, and I can't find it in the dictionary.

The interlock kit in question is attached to the panel cover. If you remove the cover, the interlock comes off with it. Why somebody would take the panel cover off and run a generator is not for me to worry about. People do stupid thigs. You know what I mean?

Yes I am contentious, sarcastic, and extremely sensitive. Especially when I am called out by somebody who is making things up. If you are going to hang around here get used to it. There is plenty more on the way! :rolleyes:

Touchy, aren't we?

Scott has a good point. I've seen HOs do the craziest things, and for no good reason.
 
i like the threat of jail as a miswire punishment, although criminals get off for much worse, so it's practicality may be questionable. But there is a life safety hazard on both ends, meaning POCO guys working, and fires, electrocution, etc. so it has to be dealt with keeping in mind the life safety hazards involved.
