Reliance Controls Pro/Tran 2 - 30-Amp (10-Circuit) Power Transfer Switch Kit w/ 25' Cord

Just hooked this up. Tested it and worked perfectly. Just had Irma hit us in Charleston but never lost power so I didn't have a chance to try it for real instead of testing.

Didn't come with Generator flip down receptacle cover this time ???? Previous orders did?

I bought this transfer switch along with a flush mount kit to use with the Firman RD9000E generator. The box is pretty solid, and is well built. The wires are labeled nice and neatly and it was extremely easy to wire into my fuse panel. With that being said it was a big pain in the you know what to mount it flush with my wall. The issue is there is a tab on top of the box you use to mount it normally and this tab makes it so you have to cut a bigger hole in your sheet rock then needs to be.

I am sure flush mounting in the wall is a minority of installs so really not that big of deal and the flush mount kit has wide enough face plate to cover up. Now the bigger issue that really takes away from this product is the plug and cord. It should be a twist lock plug. The reason is the cord is pretty heavy and wants to unplug from the socket if it is not supported. In my case I spent about an hour trying to figure out why some of my switches were not working.

Without going into detail about all the problem solving I had to do, I finally traced it down to my plug not making good contact with the socket on one side of the 120v plug. So in closing, the box is nice and solid and well built. Flush mounting the box looks a lot better but there is a lot more extra work involved. The plug and socket needs to be upgraded to a twist lock so it is more secure. I am going to upgrade it, but sucks because this was the sole reason I bought this model from Reliance. I would buy a transfer switch made by Reliance again, but would skip their plug and socket next time.
