Some will say that without a transfer switch I can energize the line between my house and the grid. Impossible.
... Some will say that without a transfer switch I can energize the line between my house and the grid. Impossible. Power transformers (the ones on the poles) run both ways (put 240 volts into the secondary side and the primary output is 7,200 volts (depending on location) ) The load on the generator is tremendous since the backfeeding generator is now attempting to power the neighborhood. Can't be done - not even for a second. ...
Too many these days have absolutely no idea how any of the infrastructure they rely on works. Even when you try to explain to some, their attitude can be to bury their head in the sand as they are just too lazy to learn.
I have observed the exact same thing. I find it amazing that most 40's and younger men I know have no idea how to fix anything or even how things work. I believe there are many reasons, some are- lack of fathers, complexity of modern life, lack of motivation, constant social media and gaming distractions, and the stripping of practical subjects from schools (replaced with a lot of often destructive and/or useless nonsense, which I won't dive into now).
However, it is true that something as simple as Youtube can bring a ton of useful information right to your fingertips. I will admit I have probably spent way too much time watching endless clips of repairs, fixes, cleaning tips, how-to's, and equipment teardown/theory.
How many people under 40 do you know? Your generalization is quite ageist and far from reality.
Hey boomer, your finger hit the "S" button and not the "Z" button when you typed generalizations. Just kidding.I shall continue to use generalise , apologise, organise, recognise, empathise, analyse, and all other -ises and -yses, since those are the correct spellings in English, the language used in England where English originated from.
