  Guess what I'm doing next week? The same exact thing as your video this morning. It couldn't have come at a better time! 2024 is going great so far!😊😊😊

  The transfer switch changes your house wiring so that a generator OR  utility power is selected for  given circuits in your house.. ONE or the OTHER but NOT both.. this protects the utility workers who are working on power lines in your neighborhood after a power failure from being electrocuted from power being unexpectedly "back fed" into the grid by a home owned generator. Utility workers have been killed in the past because someone wired a generator to feed directly into the house wiring and back into the grid through one of a variety of regular wall outlets instead of using a transfer switch. People do not realize that doing this connects your generator to the neighborhood power grid. This is not only dangerous but Illegal. The other issue with back feeding is when the power comes back on and your generator is still running, the utility's generator and yours are not phase matched (not compatible) and will probably cause a fire right after "the big flash". REALLY GOOD video, Sam

  I do have a good grasp of electrical circuits. Yours is the most detailed and concise video on the subject. You did a great job!

  I really like the focused emphasis and tenor (speed) at which you articulate the work. I sometimes can’t quite follow others as they “slow down “ their presentation screwing in every wire, cutting every cable…. Your emphasis is near perfect- you have a new subscriber here

  Because of this video I was able to install a 50amp transfer switch. Fired the generator up and everything works perfectly. Can't thank you enough for this video.

  Thanks for the video I really appreciate people who share their projects, btw from watching another video I believe the correct size screws that you were looking for are located in the same bag  as the twist on wire connectors.

  Nicely done Sam. Great step by step video. It sure is nice to be prepared during a power outage.👍

  Excellent video. I’m planning to have a 10-circuit transfer switch installed for a battery backup system and wanted to really understand how it’s done before hiring an electrician. This walkthrough was clear, practical, and easy to follow without oversimplifying. I don’t plan to DIY it, but this gave me exactly the level of understanding I was looking for. Also appreciated the little quirks and straightforward delivery — made it an enjoyable watch. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

  I&apos;m doing this in a few days with the R510A transfer box. &nbsp;I got that one because I needed an outside rated box and it has the 50amp receptacle to match my generator. &nbsp;I like how inexpensive spare breakers are for these Reliant transfer switches, and they give you a list of all the compatible breaker models from the major brands. &nbsp;<br>Watching you will make things go a lot faster for me, thanks!

  I NEVER watch videos that are more than 5 minutes. &nbsp;I thoroughly enjoyed this, and learned a lot. &nbsp;For instance I did not know wire strippers like that existed. &nbsp;Def getting a pair.

  Great video! &nbsp; I have installed 1/2 dozen of these types of switches over the years but not in quite a while. &nbsp;Great refresher. &nbsp;I actually installed the same unit as you did in the video. &nbsp;I also purchased the wire strippers because of your video. &nbsp;Should have secured this tool years ago. &nbsp;The inlet took the bulk of the time as I had to navigate through quite a maze of plumbing, fixtures, joists and so. I tested the setup by just connecting one stand alone circuit (basement outlet) before moving on. That is the easy part. &nbsp; Anyway, thanks for the vid. &nbsp; Well done!
