1. An electrical distribution panel comprising:
a first power input;
a second power input;
a first circuit breaker including a first terminal electrically connected to said first power input and a second terminal;
a first load bus electrically connected to the second terminal of said first circuit breaker;
a second load bus;
a transfer switch including a first input electrically connected to said first load bus, a second input electrically connected to said second power input, and an output electrically connected to said second load bus, said transfer switch being structured to selectively electrically connect one of the first and second inputs of said transfer switch to the output of said transfer switch; and
a number of pairs of circuit breakers, each of said number of pairs of circuit breakers comprising:
a second circuit breaker including a first terminal electrically connected to said first load bus, and a second terminal,
a third circuit breaker including a first terminal electrically connected to said second load bus, and a second terminal,
a power output electrically connected to the second terminals of said second and third circuit breakers, and
an interlock cooperating with said second and third circuit breakers and being structured to prevent both of said second and third circuit breakers from being closed at the same time.
