No, not safe and illegal in many locations. Back feeding the line can cause injury or death.

Thank you for your response ma0641. Is there any other way I can connect a generator without a transfer switch safely? Thanks in advance.

If your items are hard wired you will need a switch to move from one power supply to the other power supply.
