<< Does anyone make a retro-kit to tie directly into a preexisting fuse box? Of course, this includes turning off the main breaker, so the power doesn't feed back and torch those dudes who will eventually get to fixing my service when they're damned good and ready.>>
I was just today discussing this with a friend who installed what he call a switchover box a long time back which substitutes generator power for incoming power. It's probably code and a homemade lashup would be a very bad idea. His power (south of Redondo Beach) was off until yesterday afternoon. RLE
