Answer:
Plugging a portable generator into a house outlet, known as back feeding, can be dangerous.
It could potentially send electricity back into the grid, endangering utility workers and your neighbors.
If you need to use a generator, it’s best to follow proper protocols and consult an electrician for a safe setup, such as using a transfer switch to isolate your home from the grid while running the generator.
