Duh!? - Use a voltmeter.
If the voltage is there, the current will flow.

See generally, Ohms law.

Better yet, get a real transfer switch.
Or at the bare minimum, a hefty life insurance policy and solid legal
representation for when you kill the neighbors with your homebrew
project.

Can anyone tell me why this works?

I deduced it qualitatively. How can you prove it?

You say "current", then contradict yourself "put a relay coil across
it"..
So i ask: CURRENT (drawn by a load), or VOLTAGE (available to the load)?
