Please log in for more thread options You may not get away with doing splices inside your breaker service panel
due to heat limitations. Best to remove them and rewire directly to the new
transfer breaker panel, usually.
Transfer panels can be obtained with individual circuit transfers although
this is usually only seen in specialized generator packages. Most likely a
main switch transfer panel will be easily obtained with 16 or more
individual breakers. Buy the same kind and re-use your old breakers.
