[RE-wrenches] Splices in service panel

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

I’m curious. If a critical load center is powered from an alternative source and the main panel is not energized, won’t all neutral conductors still be energized from the sub panel back feeding the main? Or is that OK?

Hi Chris;

Its the same as a switch leg for a light.  The neutral stays at the light, only the hot is run down to the switch and back. 
Also, with some critical load panel set ups available (ie Generac), there is no provision to even run the neutrals to the new CLP. 
This is cleaner and involves much less splicing.  Fewer connections is usually better in my book.
