Abstract:
1. A back up electrical power system with a temporary power connection, a back-up power supply, and an electrical distribution system, comprising: a cord having at least two separated insulated conductors therein having a first end and an opposing second end; and an integral electrical distribution system of one of a vehicle and a building having a plurality of nodes and normally powered by an alternating power source out of the plurality of nodes at outlets, said electrical distribution system having at least one main breaker in an open configuration thereby electrically isolating at least a first outlet from the alternating power source; wherein the first end of the cord is plugged into the first outlet of the plurality of outlets of the electrical distribution system downstream of the opened at least one main breaker and the second end of the cord is in electrical communication with a second outlet of a backup power source, said backup power source thereby providing alternating current to a selected portion of the electrical distribution system downstream of the at least one main breaker through the first and second outlets; whereby the backup power source provides the alternating current into the first outlet in an opposite direction of current flow than the first outlet has with the alternating power source normally powering the electrical distribution system when an appliance is connected to the first outlet.
