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?

Hi Chris;<br class="">
<br class="">
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. <br class="">
Also, with some critical load panel set ups available (ie Generac),
there is no provision to even run the neutrals to the new CLP. <br class="">
This is cleaner and involves much less splicing. Fewer connections
is usually better in my book.<br class="">

<div class="">I disagree with the response that you do not need to move
the neutrals. You should never have the load's phase wiring in
one panel and the neutral in another.</div>
