This term refers to improperly connecting a camping generator to electrical wiring. Back feeding involves a dangerous current that can potentially electrocute anyone who comes into contact with power lines when it’s set up via power lines. When you back feed into a power line from a camping generator you can potentially create a hot power line. During a power outage, a lineman will mistakenly believe that the powerline is out. Once they touch the powerline they could be seriously injured. In order to avoid back feeding into a powerline, make sure you use the double throw, double pole transfer switch setup, and make sure it’s done by a qualified electrician.
