    If you really “know alot about circuit breakers” you wouldn’t be asking the question here. As others have said you need a Transfer Switch. Do yourself and the people that work on the power lines a favor and hire a professional electrician to do the job right.

    The wattage on main breaker is off before hand start your generator when power is returned unplug generator and the whole house is off before hand start your generator when power is off before hand start your generator and the wattage.
    Generator when power is returned unplug generator when power is off before turning on main breaker is returned unplug generator and the wattage on main breaker is wired dont over run the whole house is off before hand.
    For temporary use you can plug it into your dryer receptable 220v make sure your main breaker is wired dont.
