My main panel has 2 main breakers, 1 feeding left breakers and the other feeding the right breakers.
Is it possible to use one side for loads connected to a back up generator ( non bonded neutral ) and leave the other side powered by the grid or will 2 power sources make the utility neutral leg freak out ?
I know that "fool proof" Isolation lock outs must be in place to prevent backfeed of p1 and p2 from the generator but am unsure of the potential neutral issue.
