Q: I am going to install solar panels soon. Is this something I need for this installation or will this only work with portable generator?
by Angela from Texas on May 12, 2013

A: The switches we offer are for use with generators only. You should consult with your solar system provider for proper equipment needed.

by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Can I install an inlet on the front of the 30 amp 10 circuit Reliance Controls 31410CRK transfer kit panel and if so could you recommend one thats sold on this site.

Thanks,
Bob

by Bob Robbins from Maryland on August 31, 2012

A: It is possible, that is what the blank cover plate space was intended for. A recent code change to the NEC has made this option one that cannot be offered by the manufacturers. This is why you will see more and more of the manual switches packaged or cross sold with the outdoor inlet box.

You may want to explore the 30310A switch and then buy a cord set to the length you then need. We offer cords in 30amp from 10'-100'. If you wanted to connect the cord direct to the switch the power inlet supplied (and part of the cost) would be rendered useless.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: With regards to the 31410CRK with 10 circuit support, (6-15A/120v, 2-20A/240v), can the 2-20A/240v circuits be swapped out for additional 120v support?
by Allen from New Jersey on January 24, 2012

A: Each individual side is 120V so with the removal of the silver connecting bar you can have 2 - 120V circuits instead of 1 - 240V circuit.

This process is mentioned in the owner's manual you receive with the switch.

by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Jim, I have a portable Ridgid generator rated 8,000 watts running to 10,000 watts surge. Can you recommend a transfer switch kit? Many of the kits I saw are rated for 7,500 watts. I am pretty handy, could I install the kit without a licensed electrician?
by Bill from New Jersey on January 21, 2012

A: The transfer switch size is based on the size outlet you have on your generator. Typically 8000 running watt generators have a 30A 4-Prong twist lock type outlet (L14-30R) as the largest cord connection.

All 30A connections are rated for a maximum wattage of 7500 watts; inlet boxes, transfer switches, power cords and receptacles.

So, even though your generator is rated so high, you are limited by the outlet size of 30A and you can only get 7500 watts out of your 30A outlet.

The additional wattage is available through the other outlets on the generator.

The only way to get more wattage is to go with a larger generator that offers a 50A outlet that can give you a maximum output of 12,500 watts (max for portable generators).

It is always recommended to have a certified electrician do your manual transfer switch installation. They are familiar with all your local city, county and state codes and it helps for insurance purposes.


by Jim, Product Expert

Q: I want to put the outdoor plug approximately 25 feet from my panel. Can I still do that with this kit?
by Dan from Rhode Island on September 01, 2011

A: The kit will work. However, your electrician will need to add some additional wiring between the power inlet box and transfer switch to make up for the extra length.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Can the 31410CRK handle a 10.5kW surge wattage generator? My generator is 7K Running with a 10.5 peak.
by Alan Darby from Mississippi on March 27, 2011

A: The maximum wattage on this switch is 7500 watts as it is rated at 30A. This is also true for the 30A outlet you have on your generator. (30A x 240V = 7200W) The reason manufacturers install this size outlet on your generator is because proper generator sizing should rated at 80% of the generators running capacity so when the larger loads do kick in the unit can handle the surge and still provide proper voltage.

When or if you hit the surge rating on the generator (10.5kW) your voltage output would be much lower then any sensitive electronics can handle which is why it is important to size the unit to 80%.

by Jim, Product Expert

Q: is this panel NEMA 3 for mounting outdoors?
by Jeff Edwards from California on February 26, 2011

A: The transfer switch in this kit is for indoor mounting only. (31310A) The kit comes with a power inlet box (mounted outside) so the cord can be plugged into it and generator running outside allowing the power inlet box to be wired to the transfer switch mounted indoors. This set up is the preferred installation method to help prevent generators from being used indoors and allow the controls inside for ease of use.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: If I need only 1 20 amp 240 circuit can I change the other one to make 2 20 amp circuits ? Can these circuit breakers be replaced?
by Gary Ballou from New Hampshire on February 21, 2011

A: Yes, the attachment bar for the 240V circuit can be removed to allow operation of 2 - 120V circuits instead. The internal breakers cannot be switch out though.

by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Can you run an 8000 watt generator with the model 31410crk transfer switch?
by George Cornett from Arkansas on February 04, 2011

A: Yes, this switch is perfect for a 8000 watt generator. When sizing a generator it should be sized to 80% of the generator running capacity so when a large load kicks in the generator has enough flexibility to handle the load without sacrificing the voltage output. This helps keep proper voltage available when these loads kick in and prevents any problems with the equipment being powered.
by Jim, Product Expert

Q: Hello. What are the main differences between the Q310A and the 31410CRK switches?
by Raegen Carr from Florida on January 23, 2011

A: The "Q" Series Reliance Controls transfer switches have interchangeable breakers and their "Pro/Tran" Series do not.

Advantage of interchangeable breakers allows you to adapt the switch to your specific needs.

Jim's Recommendation

These indoor surface mount transfer switches are designed for fast installation in residential and commercial applications. The 18-inch flexible conduit whip attaches easily to the load center and all wires are clearly marked. Simply select the circuits needed in an emergency and connect them to the wire leads.

This model feature a rugged powder-coated steel cabinet with six combination 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch knockouts, resettable branch rated circuit breakers and non-defeatable double-throw switches. This model is intended for use with a generator up to 7500watts.

With this transfer kit you can run power to 10 total circuits; six 15-Amp (120 Volts) and two 20-Amp (240 Volts).

Great Product

Let me start by saying this product would be a 5 star except for one SMALL problem.The problem being the size of the letters on the wires. Once I got a magnifying glass and some extra light I was able to pair the red and black wires. The rest of the installation was a breeze up and running in about an hour and a half. Killed the main fired up the generator and the switch worked perfectly.

Disaster

I will start from the beginning. After Sandy in Oct. 2012 I felt it was time to buy a generator of significant and have a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. So I went ahead and purchased the B&S 10,000 watt Elite generator and was told it was on back order and won't be available until Dec. 2012. Then in the middle of Dec. I was informed by EGD that it was still in backorder and will be available in Jan. 2013. So no problem, I waited patiently and it was delivered as promised. The generator started on the 1st run and everything was great. So I decided to break it in accord... more

Good And Bad Experience - Happy At The End

I ordered in mid-December and got delivery in late January. When an electrician came to make sure that I had everything, he noticed that two switches in the transfer switch were broken - one black button and one red button were laying in the box. So I returned it and they shipped me one in a card box box. The previous receipt was in original colorful box. So, I suspected that they simply put the black and red button on the shaft and sent back. Upon calling they assured me that it was a brand new unit and they simply put it is a brown box. As of today, I still DO NOT believe their story. So, wh... more

Changing Climate

Over the past several years, I have noticed more frequent storms and related power outages here in New Hampshire. So, I finally gave in and purchased the Briggs and Stratton 30471 (after much research) and the Reliance 10 circut 30 amp transfer switch. Received last week. The R&L Carrier delivery guy was most helpful. I was not too crazy about the $50.00 lift gate charge as an add on but what the heck. The driver wheeled it right into my garage.

Wheel and handles for generator took about ten minutes total. Attaching battery cables OVER ONE HOUR.
Directions are useless AND in order to replace battery holding bracket the battery has to be the OPPOSITE of what is in the direction picture!!!!
Do not think any writer or designer tried to attach the cables!!

Having endured a prolonged power outage from the June 29, 2012 derecho (downed trees and power lines, the whole nine yards), I was determined to install your transfer switch which I had read about earlier on the web, to avoid the stringing of multiple extension cords from the outdoor portable generator bought earlier.

Powering Up

After two storms last winter and having to drag cords all over the house, I invested in a transfer switch that requires only a cord from my generator to the outside wall plug and the house is back ready to go.

That went so well that I bought a second unit and had it installed at my brother's house. We are both happy that it worked out so well.

Best Purchase We've Ever Made

We purchased this generator from PED after Hurricane Irene last year and had the transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician.

Our power went out this year as soon as Sandy started blowing in. The generator started on the first turn of the key in the ignition, and ran 290.6 hours straight 24/7 without a hiccup through both the hurricane and the nor'easter a week later.

It burned a surprisingly small amount of oil (Royal Purple Synthetic) and ran about 12 hours on a tank. I can't imagine what we would have done without it for the 12 days we had no utilities. It paid for itself... more

You Can Diy

After two $1,400 quotes to install a $400 10-circuit transfer switch, I decided to tackle the job myself. Most of the work involved A) mapping my service box so I could decide which 10 switches were the most important to back up (electricians seldom label the work they've done, and when they do it's usually with something helpful like "lights") and B) mounting the exterior inlet box, which involved purchasing 10-gauge Romex and punching a 1" hole through to the exterior.

So far everything is good. Installed the transfer switch with no problems. I have done a good deal of electrical work so it was fairly simple to install. The generator is a little noisier than I expected but we will adjust.

I cannot say enough good things about R&L Carriers. I was unable to be home on the delivery date so I went to pick it up at their location. Unfortunately, there was some confusion on the arrival date. I received a call from a manager apologizing for "their" mistake and offered to make it a priority to have it delivered as soon as it arrived.

I told him... more

Ready For Next Time!

This kit is a must-have for installing any portable generator the right way. I only had to add the 10-3 wire from the inlet plug to the switch. The product is of high quality. Installation was very straight forward with all the wires pre-labeled. Ordering was easy and I received several status e-mails. Electric Generators Direct shipped my order quickly.

I Did It!

I know nothing about electricity. But, i watched the how to video, followed it step by step and BAM up and running in about 3 hours. My wife was shocked. I have a 8500 titan generator and can run everything I need with no problem. I am an over the road trucker and now I am confident my wife can handle a power outage when I am away from home. I am very satisfied with this power transfer kit......

More Bang For The Buck

I tend to be very skeptical about making online purchases. I chose to research online but purchased via the phone. I had plenty of questions for the customer service person I who took my order. She was very patient with me and knowledgeable. When I asked questions she could not answer she investigated and called me back with the answers.

Delivery was timely. All of my accessories shipped separate from the generator and arrived very quickly. The initial shipping date for the generator was also very fast however, it was to the trucking company not my home. The delivery to my home too... more

Perfect

Both products are perfect. The generator started after 2 pulls. Tested the connections and worked great. The switch kit was easy to install if you're a little handy.

I was anxious to use it a couple of times this season but fortunately we didn't lose power.

I would recommend both the company and the products.

New Generator

Received Reliance transfer switch in good condition, also Briggs & Stratton generator arrived in good shape no damage.

Hats off to R & L Carriers who delivered the generator the driver put it right in my garage I didn't have to handle it at all, took just about 30 minutes to un-box and assemble, put in oil & gas and away it went.

Transfer switch was easy to install instructions easy to follow had no problems at all. Very satisfied with purchase and dealing with EDG.

Everything To Do The Job Properly

I had been thinking of back-feeding the panel but decided to do it right. This system gave me everything to do the job properly.

The hardest part of the installation was to decide which circuits to use and to distribute the load. The switch gave me ten 120 volt circuits to play with, which was more than enough to cover most of my home.

I decided not to include the electric stove and ovens in the kitchen as they would have tied up too many circuits. I did include the microwave, toaster oven and coffee pot so I really won't be roughing it!

Installation was not difficult for any... more

I Highly Recommend This Switch

This is a nice product with quality components. Installation was fairly easy. I had one circuit that would not transfer to generator power and when I called Reliance customer support, they quickly sent me a new circuit breaker - very good service!

When I took off the panel to install the new breaker, I discover a disconnected spade connector so it was never a serious problem.

My only minor disappointment was that you need to cut off (destroy) the L14-30 plug in order to install the supplied L14-20 plug. I was hoping to have the option of switching between them as needed.

Two Thumbs Up

The transfer switch arrived in two days as scheduled. The switch is very heavy duty and well constructed.

One of the 15 amp circuit breakers was cracked where it came through the panel but was still OK to install. One call to Reliance Controls and a replacement breaker is on its way.

The panel took a skilled electrician about 6 hours to install. This included routing 60 foot of 10-3 wire to the outside panel connector.

My 5000 watt Husky generator with the 10 circuit transfer switch powers all my critical circuits and almost all the rest of the house.

Two thumbs up- it's a very ... more

Best Bang For The Buck In Emergencies

I purchased this generator for emergency residential use. I connect it through a 30 amp 10 circuit Reliance manual transfer switch.

The generator powers almost all of my 3000 sq. ft. house except for the AC, ovens and dryer. I used it once for 10 straight days and it ran flawlessly.

Typically I would fill the gas tank up in the morning when I woke up and at night before we went to sleep, so I probably averaged 12 hour actual run times.

I have recommended this combination of transfer switch and generator to many others as it is hard to beat the functionality for the money- which ... more

Nice Quality Transfer Switch

I was looking for a reasonably priced transfer switch to go along with the generator we recently purchased.

Electric Generators Direct shipped the transfer switch quickly and I was impressed with the quality of the switch and the components when they arrived.

I installed this switch to the breaker panel in about an hour and a half and found the instructions to be very straight forward. This was a very easy install, and I have not worked on a main panel before (even though I am very handy).

It took me longer to run the 10-3 wire to the outlet by my back porch than it did to install... more
