Re: (ET) inverter - Grid Interconnect - Home Power Magazine

[JBR <reinharj frontiernet net>]

Home Power Magazine had LOTS of articles on Inverters, Grid-Tie and 
Disconnects and similar safety things.  

We all might try unsafe, TEMPORARY, or emergency hacks ...

BUT, we should keep trying to educate all on safest practices - such as 
the 
Disconnect Switches available at Home Depot/Lowe's etc, for reasonable 
prices.  

Many people don't consider that if accidentally switched,  their backyard 
generator power might feed back into the grid, and hurt/kill someone 
working 
on repairing lines somewhere.
