Perfectly legal: Pertinent reference data: Article 705.NEC702.6 contains an exception to the transfer equipment requirement: “Exception: Temporary connection of a portable generator without transfer equipment shall be permitted where conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified persons service the installation and where the normal supply is physically isolated by a lockable disconnecting means or by disconnection of the normal supply conductors.” The term as defined in the 2011 NEC reads as follows: Qualified Person. One who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. (no degree or certification necessary, just basic knowledge training available everywhere) 110.25 Lockable Disconnecting Means: Where a disconnecting means is required to be lockable open elsewhere in this Code, it shall be capable of being locked in the open position. The provisions for locking shall remain in place with or without the lock installed. (you can't lock it with a chain or some other thing that is all removed when unlocked, the lock has to be a feature of your breaker box and be able to lock the main breaker open. You CAN legally turn an outlet into a generator inlet through your panel and do so without an interlock or a transfer switch if your main breaker or box has locking function, provided its a temporary connection of a portable generator.
