@@allegory7638 Thank you! I'm so happy I could help. Good luck with the installation 🤠👍

Thank you so much!!! And thank you for your service 🙏 👊

Fantastic! It really is a pretty easy install. Make sure you have plenty of time set aside and go slow and of course, be safe!!! Feels so good to have the peace of mind 😁👍

Thank you very much! The peace of mind feels really good 😁👍

I couldn't be happier to read your comment! I'm so glad I could help, and congratulations on a successful install 🤠👍

Thank you for the wonderful compliments! I'm so glad you liked it. Here's a link to the strippers: a.co/d/4auBFfY

Thank you!

@m.z.1730 Thank you! So glad I could help 🤠 👍

It is a great start to the new year! I feel really good that I got this done. Should have done it a while ago. Have a great day, Paul 😁👍

Thank you very much!!! 😁👍

Thank you! Congratulations on the installation. Now the power will never go out again, lol 🤠👍

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it 🤠👍

I feel a huge sigh of relief having that job done! Have a good one, Mitch!!! 😁👍

So glad it was helpful! You are very welcome 🤠👍

Thank you! This one was very rewarding 😁👍

You're welcome! Glad you liked it. That is a great use to save energy costs. Good luck! 🤠👍

Thank you! I did tape the 220 connections. Might go back and do the others now that you said it. Thanks! 😁👍

After I installed our six and ten circuit Manual Transfer Switch, I went back and removed all the wire nuts, replacing them with Wago wire connectors. They work so much better and are safer.

@@Pk3_Garage I like those connectors as well. I’m kinda weird about electrical tape on seems. I put it on the wagos as well.

I hear you. Better to be safe than sorry

Thank you! That's the exact setup I hope to have. I like the Delta Pro Ultra, and I would like to have it set up as my main backup. Then, if the power is out too long and the solar panels aren'tenough, use the gas generator to charge it. All I need is about $10k 🤠👍

Thank you! Glad you liked it 🤠👍

Thank you for your question. First, I always feel best using what comes with a kit rather than piecing different brands together. Also, my TS is a 30 amp version, just to be clear. That's what works with my generator. If both are the same brand, however I would think the outlets would fit in either one because there is an option of using a 50 amp inlet instead of a 30 amp inlet so they should be interchangeable. No guarantees, but I hope this helps 🤠👍

@cgf72 Great question. Yes, the flow of electricity is from the grid, through the main panel breaker, through the MTS, into each circuit. The MTS switches power supplied from the grid to being supplied from the generator. This prevents the generator from ever backfeeding the grid. You can also test your backup system without ever shutting off the main power in the panel. Hope this helps 🤠👍

@gammadas Thank you! Glad you liked it! I used 8 awg wire but 10 awg is sufficient 🤠👍

That question may be above my skill set. I would ask an electrician. The way I did it is as per the instructions. Good luck 🤠👍

No problem. Thanks anyway. Great video as well! 👍

The white wire is the neutral. It should be connected to something. There shouldn't be any loose wires. If the white wire is missing from the inlet, that's probably it. Hope this helps 🤠👍

@@samsdoinstuff the white wire wasn’t connected to anything inside the transfer switch where the circuit breakers are

@@samsdoinstuff so where is the white wire connected at where the circuit breakers are? I guess that’s the easiest way to ask that’s why I was thinking that white wire that wasn’t connected to anything to the outlet box.

@cessnapilot1990 I think at this point I would have to see it. There's a white neutral wire that goes into the main panel and gets connected to the neutral bar. That should be pre-wired into the transfer switch. Then there's a white neutral that gets wire nutted to the wire you provide to connect the inlet. Not sure if there's another one I'm missing.

Those questions may go a bit beyond my basic knowledge. I know white is neutral, and the neutral and ground are bonded in the main panel. The 30 amp power supplied from the generator simply turns the house circuits into a bunch of extension cords. I'm sure there's more to it, but it's safe and it works so I'm happy 🤠👍

@@samsdoinstuff The white also should be the return path to the generator, I think. So it should have a connection to where you attached the white of the generator inlet.

I also would like a Delta Pro some day. Good choice. There's no doubt in my mind you could use 2 transfer switch systems for 20 total circuits. Just do a double install side by side. You would need 2 generators as well 🤠👍

@@samsdoinstuff EcoFlow has a setup that has a connect that uses a double voltage hub that requires to Delta Pros and provides 240V, However I do not nee this because I am only dealing with 110V service Only connecting 110V services to the Delta Pro and leaving the 220 V services connected to the grid. Even had my 220V Submersible well pump removed and replaced by a Grundfos 10SQ05-160 115v 3" Submersible Water Well Pump. If I installed a 2nd transfer switch could i use something like a Finderomend Dryer Splitter Adapter to connect both transfer switch to the Delta Pro. Presently have one extra battery and will be adding a secound when I get this setup.

@@NBPostman sounds good 👍

Great question. You certainly can, but with this manual transfer switch, there is a hard disconnect from the grid power so you don't necessarily have to. Your generator will power the circuits you've chosen and when the power comes back on, you don't have to worry about back-feeding the grid because those circuits are disconnected through the transfer switch. Hope this helps! 🤠👍

Great question. I personally would not modify the unit, but an electrician might know a way to do that. Good luck 🤠👍

Great question. No you don't. You can actually test your system without having a power outage. There is a direct disconnect from grid power when you switch each circuit from grid to generator.

@@samsdoinstuff thank you so much, going to be doing this soon. Is there a better alternative to wire nuts? not a fan of those things from automotive days

@@PyrateGraphics You can use WAGO connectors. Here's a link: WAGO 221 Lever Nuts 78pc Compact Splicing Wire Connector Assortment with Case. Includes (34x) 221-412, (26x) 221-413, (18x) 221-415 a.co/d/7Og6oWU

Does this particular transfer switch and most others take standard circuit breakers or do you have to shop for special type?

Yes, I believe it does. I always use brand specific breakers with whatever box I have. Just my opinion.

Yes - Had to pickup a 20 amp Siemens for the 6 bay MTS….

@Joebanker80 Great question. Sorry about the confusion. No, the main breaker does not have to be off. This system will not back-feed the grid because it disconnects from the main panel when you switch it over to generator. You don't even need to turn off the main breaker to test it. Simply hook up your generator as if there was a power outage and switch the circuits over from line to generator to make sure everything works as it should. 🤠👍

@@samsdoinstuffI thought that’s what you meant but just wanted to double check.

Great question! It is a 30 amp. They also make a 50 amp version 🤠👍

Great question and I'm sorry I didn't address that in the video. The meters measure the amount of power coming from the generator in relation to the amount used by each side of the transfer switch. It is ideal to keep each 120 volt side under equal load. The meters allow the user to monitor that load. Hope this helps 🤠👍

@samsdoinstuff Thanks for explaining.

Great question. A neutral wire only carries the unused electricity back, if I remember correctly. The installation is correct. That I'm sure of 🤠👍

You just need space next to your main panel and the ability to run wire to the outside for the generator.

@@samsdoinstuff alright. thanks. asking because panels in the closet are no longer code but grandfathered in, I believe.
