I need a second opinion on the output wires on my nps 6000. When I tie into the transfer switch, do the two white wires stay together in the neutral spot? Also there is a black with yellow strip and solid black, which is which on the hot 1 and hot 2? Thanks for your help!

The output wires from the NPS Y6000eco should be connected to the transfer switch with the following attention:

- Two white wires: These are typically neutral wires and should be connected to the neutral terminal in the transfer switch.
- Black with yellow stripe wire: This is usually the generator's output (hot) wire and should be connected to the generator input terminal on the transfer switch.
- Solid black wire: This may serve a different function (such as a signal or control wire), and should not be connected to the transfer switch’s power input terminals unless specified.

Always verify no power is supplied to the transfer switch before connecting any output wires.
