Theres multiple reasons why you should not do this, but ignoring the fire risks and the risks of death to the person doing this, the current can reach the street side, and kill or injure engineers working on the power systems.
- phpthrowaway99 4y agoI don't even think this would work without disconnecting from the main source via your breaker, so workers down stream are perfectly safe. And I don't see how putting 10-15 amps through a cord, plug, and outlet that routinely handle 15 amps downstream everyday causes a fire risk. My house doesn't freak out when I operate a space heater, and I don't see why it would freak out if I push a space heaters power through that exact same setup. The cord is dangerous, in the sense that you could get shocked by your generator. You can get shocked by the thousands of rusted, rewired, half functioning generators on Craigslist without every using a cord like this.
