Can you help me find the code that allows you to run a feeder conduit through a junction box with no connections or bonding

I am quit Shure that Generac would have something to say about this as well.

wow, wow. I am showing the new "electricians" videos like this and other things you post MIKE HOLT as a valuable training aid in what to NOT do and the NEC article(s) that apply to them. thank you. another lesson learned. keep up the good work.

what kind of idiot would think this type of testing or work is safe, let alone ok. this gives us in the electrical trade a bad name.

I am a Foreman in the line dept. for a IOU, 38 years on the job. Unfortunately this kind of practice is far too common. Many home owners will back-feed through a dryer receptacle during a power outage without realizing the deadly consequences they are imposing upon themselves and the unsuspecting lineman. Lineman take precautions to avoid energization of the line transformer by uneducated neophytes, but the neighbor a mile down the road may not be as lucky if a downed conductor is in his hand at the moment of generation.

Be Safe, Not Sorry

Clearly a violation of 406.7 Have seen this often. Extremely dangerous !

It just goes against common sense, completely insane!!

A cord with two male ends is clearly a code violation and should not be used.

Wow !! I couldn't watch the whole video, some people just don't get IT !! Hire a licenced professional.

Well , I guess if someone gets hurt ,,,, or hurts somebody else ? This will be used as evidence in a manslaughtter trial...............to convict the person for posting this dangerous act, ,,, I hope this person does not carry a electrical license in any state or country,,, and if if they are flying under radar with some other type of business license ( I.E.) - handyman / home improvement or landscape etc..... then the JHA THAT HAS BEEN INSPECTING AND AND PASSING HIS WORK ? Should be held accountable .....

How about a violation of common sense.

I agree that the method their promoting is in violation, But instead of a cord end they used a generator inlet box Which is made for the propose. Wouldn't they be in compliance ?

I'm sorry, I better understand your statement, you are saying you saw video's on YouTub about this. Not that I created such a video, sorry.

I also saw you tube videos promoting back feeds.
