The more correct way is to install a switch that does that, so you can be connected to the grid or to the generator, not both. It's basically what you said, but it doesn't trust users to remember to do it correctly

Does such a switch exist?

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago

It does, there's even automatic ones so you can have the generator kick in after a second or two without power and shut off when the grid comes back up

I watched a video on it a week or two ago, I think the general term would be an interlock
