Hi i was scouring the web for ifoon generators and found this article

Could a neighbour be supplied (or hurt) from your generator if the power went down,you plugged a genny into your socket outlet and had all your protective devices closed thus feeding current back down the supply line in the opposite way than usual
If you feed power back into the electrical system during an outage, you will energise the transformer serving your house. This poses an electrocution hazard for Energex or Ergon Energy line crews and for your neighbours who may not know the lines is energised. If power is restored while your generator is backfeeding, your generator may be severely damaged.
