Hi,
My mother got a 4Kw generator and generator to dryer cable M to M during the emergency last week. We need to understand the house 120V circuits. We were able to turn the main off and backfeed via the dryer plug, however 2/3 rd of the house still didn't have power. Why is this?
The generator had capacity and didn't stall. I have a square d 100 A main panel outside the house for everything.
I appreciate your help. Thanks.
