Shore Power Backfeed is a hazardous electrical condition in which power from a food trailer’s generator or inverter flows unintentionally into the external shore power grid.

In mobile food operations, shore power is commonly used when parked at locations with grid access, such as events or commissaries. Backfeed poses serious dangers to utility workers, damages equipment, and violates electrical safety codes.
