Barracuda 7 KW MAX 6 kW Power Generator: Can I Connect it to My Home Network?

Hello. I recently bought a Barracuda 7 KW MAX 6 kW power generator. And I have a question, can I connect it to the home network? I am thinking of a case when there is no electricity in the town and I pull the cable from the generator to a socket in some circuit in the house. I think I'll have to turn off the fuses? Will I have to do / buy anything else? The unit has an AVR stabilizer.

You don't, an electrician does.

And I think that not - provided that the connection of the aggregate to the home installation will be done by an expert electrician. If he finds that it is enough to turn off the fuses, it will mean that he does not have sufficient knowledge in the field of safety - i.e. the risks resulting from such connection of the generator ...

Of course - generator-network switch, "a few" meters of cable, a suitable socket for the aggregate ...

The cable ends with a plug, of course. It seems to me that this is how you start to dig a grave not only for others, but also for yourself.

I would like to note that the connection to the mains is supposed to work like an extension cord ... the point is not to pull cables to each receiver. As such, the generator has the fuse turned off, and the fuses should be turned off so that the electricity does not go into the network.

This is true, but if you accidentally disable this security. and the power industry will turn on the voltage, you will destroy the generators and cause a phase-to-phase short circuit. Nothing interesting.

The genset should be connected in the switchgear using the genset, 0, network switch - it can be done using the Left, 0, Right switch

I rather thought about such a solution: in the garage I have strength, and if I hooked up the generator under this force, it should distribute it to the whole house. And with the exclusion of all fuses, no problem because I have one main one and only each to a different part of the house.

The point is, you are the one who doesn't know what it should be like. In the first post I gave you the answer, but you decided that we apparently don't know each other.
Or a switch designed to do this will be installed consciously switch - and thus "disconnect" the power supply from the public network (generator-network switch), or an "automatic machine" will be installed that will automatically switch the power supply between the public network (suppliers) and the backup power supply (generator) - however, in the latter case, the fact should be reported to the local ZE.
Installing the generator-network switch is to exclude the possibility of accidental switching on - supplying voltage to the network, or possible damage to the generator as a result of thoughtlessly switching on the fuse when electricity appears in the public network.
There is also a third method that you can do yourself, and for which your generator is actually adapted - a generator with an extension cord connected and receivers connected to it.
I don't see another option ...

Everyone has this main one, but the biggest problem is the belief that the questioner is wrong. Because what can happen, right?

Thanks for the help. Problem solved. When I turn off the main switch in the box, I cut myself off from the public network. And everything works. But for the sake of my relatives, I also cut off the whole house with intermediate fuses. In the end, safety is the most important thing;] Thanks for your help

And then yours, what will happen if you forget to disconnect from the public network?

And have you thought about the safety of energy workers?

A button and an unsolved problem. A completely wrong and unacceptable solution.
You write about security that you hardly have a clue about.

Which, dear inquirer, does not mean that:

the point is simply not to drag cables to each receiver.

Therefore, I advise you to contact an authorized person who will adapt the switchgear to work with the generator and lead the appropriate cable with a socket to the generator. You should also inform the power company about the intention to connect the generator.

You ask on the forum how to properly make the connection, but you insist on your failure at all costs. I don't understand this approach.

It seems to me that the author of the topic has already realized his idea.

Remember that for damage to devices belonging to ZE, you will be punished, not to mention the safety of your loved ones.

PS
Do you suffer from power shortages so often that you need a generator?

In my area, during this year's flood, there was such a case. Power engineers cut off one of the circuits at the station because it was slowly flooding the cable joints. One of the residents plugged a generator into one of the sockets in the house. The result was that one of the connectors was already flooded and supplied power to the network and the generator collapsed. Therefore, dear colleague, listen to experienced colleagues because they are right. There must be a switch. This one costs PLN 250. Secondly, it is about the safety of both energy and yours. Thirdly, the generator you have works like an IT network and you need to know how to connect it well to a TN network. I recommend an electrician.
