It looks like you had a manual transfer panel before?  What are the specifics of the Siemens transfer switch(got a web link?)?  What is or isn't it doing?

Hi Carl,
 I like your set up, did it come with the breaker interlock or was it something you added to thei panel to make it into a transfer panel?

I noticed in your GE main panel there is a cutlerhammer BR style breaker & a siemens breaker, & in the transfer paner there are some square d homeline breakers, I have had building inspectors & home inspectors reject panel installations for this, unless you can show them on the breaker where it says they are allowed to be used in these panels. normally they like to see GE breakers in GE panels & siemens breakers in siemens panels.
 
Are the pictures of your listeroid old? i didn't see your natural gas supplemental fuel system on these pictures.

I had a gentran 6 circuit transfer switch before but wanted to power more circuits.  I picked up the Siemans transfer switch off  Ebay new for around 150.00 dollars.  It is running all the circuits i need and even has a few breakers i am not using.  I don't have a web link for it and could find one when i looked.

The panel came with the interlock and the breakers.  I changed a few because i didn't want a 50 amp for my main generator breaker

I noticed in your GE main panel there is a cutlerhammer BR style breaker & a siemens breaker, & in the transfer paner there are some square d homeline breakers, I have had building inspectors & home inspectors reject panel installations for this, unless you can show them on the breaker where it says they are allowed to be used in these panels. normally they like to see GE breakers in GE panels & siemens breakers in siemens panels.

I have had the main panel inspected before by our local inspector when we installed our Solar arrays and wind turbine and they never mentioned about the different breakers so I guess they aren't sticky about that here

those pictures were taken long before i added the natural gas to the engine.  the exhaust has also been changed.
