You're going to dismiss what I have to say, which is your prerogative. I just want othe people here to know that what you did was not a good idea. It was actually pretty dangerous. There are other adjectives I could use for it, but I'm more polite than that.
> extension cord coming out of my trunk and > conspicuously run through the front door and plugged into the first outlet. They don't call those "suicide cords" for nothing. > I had visited the day before, and moved that outlet's wire at the circuit > breaker over onto the same circuit as the meeting room's lights. Do you own the building? If not, did you have permission from the building's owner? If I owned that place and let your group use it, and found out that you'd been poking around in the panel, I'd be pretty annoyed. More than that, actually. Your group would never use my building again. You'd also pay for the licensed electrician I'd hire to fix your tinkering. > All I had to do on meeting night was flip that breaker off (and tag it > out) and then backfeed the outlet. Better hope that the janitor (or whomever) doesn't see that breaker and fail to understand your tag. You'd get a nasty bang and lose your inverter, or worse. Backfeeding receptacles for backup power is a dangerous thing to do. Don't do it. Just don't.
