OK FORGET THE DOUBLE BREAKERS - A manual two pole flopover IS the way to go. I have purchased a 400 amp three pole flopover for "our" hydro station because we have an emergency generator here. It's cost is about $1200. Sorry Bob I shouldn't have said anything kactus and hube and the other guy is correct. Just because I use the setup doesn't mean its correct but it works for me. And.... with the gen hitched up there is NO backfeed into the crib line.

Well said, and I absolutely agree with every word.
Bottom line;DO IT RIGHT or not at all.

Thanks Hube. Maybe I'm too old for this forum. I make mistakes too.

You're not as old as you think, and not too far off base on this.
