I have an idea of what I want to do with a generator, but need some advice on feasibility and legality.
I have what seems to be a standard consumer unit on a single phase domestic supply. I also have occasional power cuts, during which I'd like to be able to use the lights in my house, and to provide enough power to keep the central heating operational.
To this end I'd like to have the ability to plug the output of a generator to the input of my domestic system.
Is this even possible? I'm imagining some kind of connector box/panel at which I could isolate the system from the electrical supply to my house, and connect it instead to the output from the generator.
The gen output is a three pin plug of "110V" style.
