Had to "Educate" another new coordinator this morning that tried to fail me on an HPIR because i didn't hook my generator to the house. Just a heads up for all your contractors backfeed a generator into a house through a dryer or stove plug. It is AGAINST National Electrical Code and OSHA would fine the heck out of you to boot. This is why my insurance underwriter and our local utility say NO WAY to this practice!! I cannot believe someone at HUD even recommends this.
National Electric Code 406.6 Attachment Plugs.
All attachment plugs and cord connectors shall be listed for the purpose and marked with the manufacturer’s name or identification and voltage and ampere ratings.
(A) Attachment plugs and cord connectors shall be constructed so that there are no exposed current-carrying parts except the prongs, blades, or pins. The cover for wire terminations shall be a part that is essential for the operation of an attachment plug or connector (dead-front construction).
(B) Attachment plugs shall be installed so that their prongs, blades, or pins are not energized unless inserted into an energized receptacle.
No receptacle shall be installed so as to require an energized attachment plug as its source of supply.
