VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: After installation and the post of this video, I had an electrician inspect the installation. The neutral wires coming out of the transfer switch into the main panel needed to be removed from the main panel bus bar and attached to each individual circuit branch. Do not fully rely on youtube videos when dealing with something as important as electricity. They are great reference points. Always consult with a licensed electrician or local code official.
