Not good electrical practice

What Haz said would work electricaly but as an electrical inspector I would turn it down. They make a panel that has a main breaker/ generater breaker, set up. The main point to this approved set up is you CAN NOT run generator power back through the power line and you CAN NOT run PUD power into your generator. The guy trying to cut corners will always tell you he will remember to switch the breakers but what if he forgets.

Try HD or some other box store. You may have to change the whole panel out to make it happen. I have a 200 amp. Main with a 30 amp generator input. During a power outage my generator will do the job, not as well as PUD but it is temp. power
