    Funnily enough we had such a cable at home for reasons unknown to me. Then of course the inevitable happened: I was electrocuted by it. I’m fine, but I can definitely agree that such a cable should not ever be made, whatever the reasoning, just don’t do it.

      if you have a generator and your house has no electricity, you can power your house by plugging a generator into an outlet.

      I am not an electrician and dont know how this would safely be done, i assume your house would need to be disconnected from the grid or something.

        There are cases when electricians working on the street to restore power get shocked by some house generator feeding power back to the grid.
