    They’re illegal and it’s only safe IF the home owner remembers to turn off Mains.

      There are legal ones for generators (especially small scale solar stuff) that turn off automatically when they detect no main power on the line, so grid workers can’t get zapped. They are pretty common around here.

        Those are called Interconnects, use “Inlets” to hook them up and are not illegal. The suicide cable with two male ends can electrocute the owner and the line workers.
