He turned off and tagged out the circuit breaker, not the panel breaker, so ONLY the lights and outlets on that particular circuit were energized by the inverter. (All other circuits were powered by the grid.)

AH!  Thanks!  I was uniformed on the term "tag out".  I now see/guess it means remove the breaker with outputs still attached.  Probably, no additional accidental touch protection needed?  Or maybe bagging the breaker?

A lot of time "tag out" just means to turn the breaker off and hang a tag on it that asks people to please not turn it on. A "lock out tag out" LOTO installs a physical lock to make it difficult to turn on the breaker, even if you don't read the tag.

Sometimes people say "tag out" when the mean lock out tag out, and sometimes people say lock out when they really just did a "tag out", but ideally you want the "lock" part in addition to the "tag" part.
