Sorry...I was considering the power
source, not
how to safely hook it up.
Doing the double male plug thing is very dangerous, even if you shut off your main breaker, because you are still connected to the grid through the neutral. You
must install a transfer switch if you want to power your entire house with your own power source because it fully isolates your house from the grid.
