The Reliance Controls Corporation 31410CRK 10-circuit Pro/Tran Transfer Switch Kit has everything you need to easily complete a portable generator transfer switch installation in a home or office. The transfer switch ensures that you can safely use back up power during a power outage without having to worry about back feeding the utility line. This kit includes pre-wired transfer switch with wattage meters, 10-foot power cord, 30A power inlet box, wire connectors and extra 20A plug.

When the power goes out, you can rely on Reliance to have the product you need. Specializing in transfer switches for portable generators, Reliance Controls offers a wide range of innovative and reliable transfer switches and accessories available.

A transfer switch is an electrical device that allows you to safely connect a generator to your household wiring. It is permanently installed near the service panel in your home to make using a generator as safe and easy as operating a light switch.

During a power outage, there are two ways to use a portable generator for power. The first is to run extension cords from the generator to your lights and appliances. However, this is inconvenient and does not allow you to operate some of your critical circuits like the furnace fan or well pump. The second way to use a generator is to connect it directly into your household wiring. Using only one cord, you can now power several or all of your most important household circuits, including the furnace fan and well pump. To do this, the National Electrical Code requires a transfer switch. Direct connection without a transfer switch can result in damage to your home and generator and great harm to utility workers.

A transfer switch prevents the utility power and the generator power from powering your household circuits at the same time. When the utility power goes out, you simply plug your generator into the transfer switch, start it up, and flip the transfer switch or switches from the Utility position to the Generator position. The most important circuits in your home are now powered by the generator.

Clearly labeled circuit wires for quick load center connection. Each circuit has a red and black wire. The red is connected to the existing circuit breaker in the main load center. The black wire is connected via wire nut to the load wire for that circuit.

Large, three position, light switch style toggles to control your appliances. Switches are normally kept in the 'line' position while utility power is on. When the power fails, toggle the switches to 'Gen' position to enable generator power (patented).

Built in junction box for hardwire installation to save time and cost. (patented).

Overloading the generator causes unnecessary wear and tear and can damage the engine or appliances. The use of watt meters to monitor the loads on the generator helps prevent overloads and understand efficiency of the system.
