Yes, illegal per code, dangerous and huge liability should it kill someone. Essentially what this type of transfer switch does is make the choice of source either-or, basically foolproof. Whereas some of the setups described here will allow you to select both sources, the power company and generator at the same time. This could be disastrous for a number of reasons, first and foremost a lineman working to repair the wiring outside could be killed.
