Amazon.com Product Description:
The GenTran 30 Amp 8-circuit transfer switch for up to 7,500-watt generators includes everything you'll need to install a generator transfer switch for safe, convenient portable generator hookup. This kit includes a prewired 8-circuit transfer switch, a 25-foot power cord and a power inlet box enclosure. Power up your essential circuits using a 5,000-watt generator (continuous watts) during a power outage or emergency. It accommodates 8-to-10 household circuits like your furnace blower (gas only), refrigerator and kitchen circuits, well pump, lights, and television. If your needs change, your installer can easily expand this transfer switch to up to ten circuits just by adding more circuit breakers. The enclosure can be surface mounted indoors, and allows hardwired or plug-in generator connections. Because it was designed with off-the-shelf circuit breakers you don't have to search high and low for replacements, and your installer can reconfigure the breaker combinations to suit your family's needs.

This transfer switch has a L14-30 male power inlet and a dual watt meters to help you balance generator loads to prolong generator life. The kit comes with two 15 Amp 1-pole breakers, two 20 Amp 1-pole breakers, one 2-pole 20 Amp breaker, and one 2-pole 30 Amp breaker. A 60 Amp 2-pole main breaker is required in existing load center (not included). This kit comes with a 2-year limited warranty.

- easy install
This is a very easy item to install. I am a licensed electrican and was very pleased to seee very good instructions and everything needed with the exception of 10/3 wire.

Rating:

- Well designed package
This transfer switch package provides everything you need to safely supply power all through the house without extension cords. Installation is straightforward and, when combined with a flush mounting flange (not included in this kit) the results are professional looking. Operation could not be easier or safer. My 7500w generator is able to supply virtually all house loads with the exception of an electric dryer and central air conditioning. I am completely satisfied with this transfer switch and have personally recommended it to several neighbors.

- The correct method for emergency power transfer
I installed this transfer switch several weeks ago and have the following comments;

This unit comes pre-wired and with excellent instructions. I installed it myself as I have worked in the building trades for many years and always do my own wiring. For those of you not quite so comfortable with electricity, a licensed electrician is highly recommended.

As noted in the product description, there is an interlock on the "main" breaker of this unit to prevent back-feeding generator power through the utility transmission lines. This feature allows me to exercise the generator monthly, (which should be done to avoid fuel/carburetor problems on the generator) under load, so seamlessly that I don't even have to reset my electronic appliance clocks. It also means that I will not be contributing to the death or injury of a electrical utility worker due to a back-feed situation.

- Performed as Described
I purchased this transfer switch because it was expandable to nine circuits, bought the breaker I needed, and installed it in the wall, rather than on it. I used the plug in the switch to mount in the box outside and covered the hole with the plate GenTran provided. We lost power two nights ago and the switch worked perfectly (I did have an electrician wire it in). I bought a 6KW diesel generator and this switch handles it nicely. I would recommend this switch to anyone wanting to install their own emergency power system, as opposed to buying a complete packaged system. The instructions were clear - if you have basic electrical knowledge you could do it yourself, but I'm chicken!
