Because insults and personal attacks are always the mature way to handle things. I have spoken with several people who have no problem with it, I even stated when I have the money I might install a transfer switch.
That's excellent that you condone the outright insulting of another person on a forum because you didn't like the other person. It doesn't make them right, it just makes them..... Well not very nice person.
I say ill unhook the meter, that wasn't even good enough now ill somehow stick my fingers in the prongs and fry myself, there was no answer good enough for someone who just wanted to argue every single thing you have to say.
What problem did I cause?
Ah I'm done here, marking post as read so we can move on to next week where there is another argument involving the same person.
You apparently do not know what an insult or personal attack are.
You can consider it personal, in that you are the one that is engaging in a practice that has a very high propensity to kill someone. It is for that reason and no other whatsoever that the authors of NFPA 70 included provisions specifically on the manner in which stand-by generators are to be connected to premises wiring. But you are so much more wise than the numerous persons that develop and update that manual.
And your insipid analogy of how your phone will produce a line voltage through the charger is nothing less than ridiculous.
I will argue electrical safety until the cows come home.
It is my profession. I have over 40 years as an electrician. I have worked on practically every type of electrical system imaginable.
I have worked on limited energy data wiring, coal powered generating plants, gas turbine generating plants, nearly every single automotive plant in southeastern Michigan (Woodhaven Stamping, Poletown, Sterling Stamping, Livonia Transmission, Michigan Truck, Detroit Diesel, Ford Rouge, Double Eagle Galvanizer, Great Lakes Steel, Dodge Main, Chrysler Jefferson, Trenton Channel Power House, St Clair Power House, Avoca Power House, Greektown Casino...), housing projects, apartment complexes, construction of the McNamara Terminal, Ford Field, Comerica Park, Joe Lewis Arena, Troy Sports, Macomb County Jail, Wyandotte Waste Water Treatment, Detroit Water Pumping, Detroit WasteWater, Great Lakes Crossing... When you drive by the Detroit Zoo and see the lights on the water tower, I put them there.
You want to talk electricity? You've come to the right guy.
