The electrical service goes to the house. There are 3 underground 000
cables that go to the barn from the house. The barn has a 60 amp breaker in
the breaker box at the house. The 12,000 watt generator is in the barn. It
has a 50 amp 240vac outlet, a 30 amp 240vac outlet and several others. I am
hooking the 50 amp outlet to the house. I am using the same 3 underground
000 cables to send generator power to the house during a power outage.

A 90 amp contactor in the barn won't connect the generator to the house
unless:
1. The electrical service to the house is off, and
2. The service disconnect switch at the house is off.

When the generator is turned on, it tests the service disconnect at the
house to assure the above two conditions are met. This is done by sending a
1 second electrical pulse to the house to see if it will actuate a coil. If
the coil actuates, the 90 amp contactor latches open and prevents backfeed
into the grid. If the service power turns on during that 1 second, the
generator power and service power will clash and throw a 50 amp breaker to
the generator.

Actually it'll probably blow his generator, and resolve the problem

You appear to have two control conductors going to the house panel
that are not the AWG 0 cables that you mentioned. Is that correct?
If it is you can fix this setup by using a shunt trip main breaker
with a pair of auxiliary contacts. If you actually interested in
anything other than trying to validate your existing setup let me
know.

You appear to have two or three control conductors between the two
buildings in addition to the three size ought conductors that you
already mentioned is that true? If it is there is a very practical
way to wire the interlock that has no likelihood of cross connecting
the utility and generator power. If you are interested in anything
other than validating or arguing about your present set up let us
know.

Unfortunately, Jonathan L Giffen suffers from mental illness.
He is heavily medicated and probably not receptive to logic or what
you would consider common sense.
Psychosis is a break from reality, like a waking dream state, with its
own logic and rules. While Jon is intelligent, he works by different
perceptions than you or me.

I would not encourage his experiments with mains power. He's dangerous
enough with alarm clocks.
