Generator Transfer Switch install question (AFCI Breakers)
I have 3 AFCI breakers I want to feed from my Reliance Pro Tran 2 panel. From what I understand to meet code I have to replace the affected breakers in my transfer switch with AFCI breakers because you would lose AFCI protection when on generator power. To do this- can I 'jump' each neutral on the 3 breakers and run each neutral wire down into the transfer switch to the 3 new AFCI breakers- and then attach pig-tails to transfer switch neutral bar?
Thanks for any input!

Welcome to the forums.
You need to move circuits from the main panel to the pro tran panel. Normally you would just extend the hot wire. Now you'll need to extend hot and neutral so that both will reach the new breaker in the pro tran panel.

Just thought- how would breaker get power when switched back to 'LINE'
Or did you mean just 'jump' main AFCI's neutral and run into transfer switch's AFCI breaker- and tie in the hot as you normally would? (vs 'moving breaker' into transfer switch)

The breakers would be moved to the transfer panel, if approved for that panel, then extend the branch circuit conductors to the transfer switch panel.
