The Reliance Controls 10-circuit 50 Amp transfer switch features a patented design, making it the first easy-to-install, pre-wires loadside transfer switch with interchangeable 15-, 20-, and 30 Amp 1-inch circuit breakers. Designed for use with up to 12,500-watt generators, the transfer switch can handle a double-pole, 30 Amp circuit for powering central air conditioning, water heaters or large well pumps, while retaining the easy-to-use toggle switch control panel. It includes six 15-to-20 Amp, two 20 Amp DP, and two 30 Amp DP circuit breakers; two removable tie bars for 240 volt circuits; analog wattmeters to measure generator load; and a patented built-in wiring compartment. This unit is cUL 1008 listed and covered by a 5-year limited warranty.
This transfer switch is very high quality (made in USA). It comes pre-wired, i.e., all wires for all 10 circuits are color coded and lettered. With the clear cut directions provided, I was able to wire all circuits correctly first time, and I'm just a homeowner. If hiring an electrician, cost would be reduced as there's lots less labor than some other brands on the market. I ran the completed unit first on regular house current from the utility company, then from our new generator: everything worked great. Also, the price is extremely competitive: some other units cost up to $400 more. Great product and price!

This was purchased to be used with a Buffalo Tools "Sportsman 7000" propane-powered emergency generator. It's a well-made product and does exactly what it's supposed to do: isolate the generator-supplied power from the utility feeds. I installed my unit on the first floor of the house as i didn't want my cats getting into the basement if the power was out. The feed from the generator was brought into the basement and hardwired to a dedicated termination enclosure. From the enclosure feeds went to the transfer switch. From the switch lines went to various breakers on the house-side (load-side) of the distribution panels. Reliance include a plastic knockout that normally covers an opening intended for the installation of a generator connector. I installed an elapsed-time meter (hour meter / run-time meter) in the space so I could monitor the actual run-time of the generator. In addition, I punched two new holes in the front panel, installed Romex clamps, and brought out a monitoring line for the red / neutral pair and another for the black / neutral pair. (I'm pretty certain the warranty was invalidated by this point.) Each cable feeds a dedicated duplex with a Kill-A-Watt unit plugged in. This allows me to monitor the voltage and the frequency of the AC produced by the generator. The switch incorporates wattage (load) meters fed from current transformers. My typical load is about 1500 watts. It is registered by the meters, but it's a small deflection. The Reliance switch is a quality product, solidly-built. I see no issues with it lasting a long, long time.

After the "derecho" this Summer, we resolved to come up with a reliable and safe option for alternate power. This Reliance Controls 10-Circuit 50 Amp Transfer Switch provides a secure hook-up for 240 volts to our well pump and water heater, and 6 x 120 volt circuits for the kitchen, basement, and bedrooms. I have a fairly complex service entrance, with two 100 amp breaker boxes. I mounted the transfer switch to one side of the left box, connected the already attached flex to box A, then I ran 3/4" flex between boxes A and B and spliced some extra length to the pre-assembled wires to and from the transfer boxes to connect up the circuits I needed generator power for. The hookup is pretty straightforward. The double-throw switches at the top switch your load (the wire that was removed from your house breaker) between your generator and the power company (the house breaker). The wires are color coded and labelled with letters to make this as simple as it can be. I took two days to get it finished, but if I started off with the stuff I needed (and hadn't burned out my little hammer drill), it would take about 2 hours. If you have wired a house before, this will be easy. If you have added a branch circuit or two, it won't be too hard. If you have never stripped a wire in your life, you should seek a professional electrician or a more experienced friend. I believe this box represents the "knee point" on the cost-benefit curve. If you go beyond this, you will have to spend a LOT more money for not much more benefit. I am happy with this choice and I recommend it.
