		What is islanding? How do I prevent it?

Islanding is any situation where the source of power from the network operator’s distribution system is disconnected from the network section in which the generator is connected, and one or more inverters maintain a supply to that section of the distribution system or consumer’s installation. The situation may cause an electrical shock hazard to service personnel operating on the islanding network section while it has been supposedly shut down through separating it from the main power station.

To prevent Islanding when the grid goes down the inverters shut down automatically. If backup power is to be connected the main breaker (grid to box) must be shut off FIRST.
