When the Power Goes Out!

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.

What Is A Transfer Switch?

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.

Why Do I Need One?

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.

How Do Transfer Switches Work?

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.

    Easy install, easier to use.
    I selected the Reliance Controls 31410CRK because of its positive reviews, overall value, and ease of installation. The kit includes hardware to wire into the service panel, but some other pieces of hardware are required. (Like wire and mounting hardware) The kit included an Installation DVD that I never watched. The written instructions and the tutorial on Reliance Controls' website were more than sufficient. The total time working inside the panel was about 30 minutes. The total project time, including mounting hardware and pulling wire was under 3 hours.A suggestion I have for anyone looking at any transfer switch is planning. I mapped all of the outlets, light fixtures, appliances, etc. to each circuit. Then I used meters and product labels to determine wattage requirements of various products. Armed with that data, I was able to plan the circuit layout to balance the load on the generator and pair amperages between breakers and switches. It also helped when deciding which circuits were absolutely necessary, nice to have, and not needed.Another suggestion is to replace standard light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs. My house has 28 light bulbs. At 60W each, the total is 1,680 watts, but the 13 watt CFL total is only 364 watts. Granted, all the lights in the house aren't on at the same time, but it will reduce the load on the generator and your electric bill in the long run.The power inlet box is a little cramped when using knockouts in the back. I still opted for using the rear knockout for a flush appearance outside. The 20 amp cord end would have been handy, but I have a 30 amp generator and won't be using it.Pictures on the web always seem to show the transfer switch to the left of the panel. The cable can be rotated and the switch mounted to the right of the panel, as I did. The wires were long enough to reach from the bottom of the panel to the top, so a lot of wire needed to be trimmed off. I trimmed as I worked, so the cables are all just the right length now. Since this is a permanent installation, I would have liked to see solid core wire rather than stranded. (Only for clean panel installation and ease of insertion in breakers.) The MC connectors between the service panel and the transfer switch do have anti-short bushings. Depending on your state and inspector, they may or may not be required.The kit includes two handle ties if any circuits require 240v. There are two screws on each tie that make them easily removable. Since I didn't have any circuits requiring 240v, I removed both ties to use the full 10 circuits.Each of the wires from the transfer switch is marked with letters for the circuit. The H and the I look very similar, so pay attention to cable orientation when you look at the letters. I paired all the wires and taped them together before starting to avoid hunting in the dark. There are just enough wire nuts to perform the installation in the panel and in the switch, so don't drop any into the sump area.When power is out, cut-over is simple. Start the generator, plug the generator into the power inlet, and throw the circuit switches. I like to throw the switches one at a time. The watt meter will spike when startup current is drawn. When the meter goes back down, I'll throw the next switch.Since Reliance uses break-before-make switches, you can safely perform generator testing while the house is still on utility power. There is no risk of utility power passing to the generator or generator power feeding into utility power, if wired properly. Individual circuits can be flipped to make sure things are working before a power outage occurs.Overall, I think the transfer switch is well constructed and the instructions are thought out and complete. My previous electrical experience was limited to replacing outlets and installing ceiling fans, which helped, but the installation of this was very straightforward. I will definitely be installing one of these transfer switches in any house I own in the future.

    Great product, moved to a rural area and knew that outages would be an issue. After yet another two day stint without power I bought the kit. Easy to install and works like a charm and now my wife or kids can hook up safe and easily. Worth it and cheaper than a standby system that's 3 -4 times the price of a generator and this kit. Now we have running water from the well, both fridges and freezer along with furnace and hot water tankless and much more safely connected and ready to go at the flick of a switch.

    I installed this kit myself with ease. The instructions are excellent and easy to follow. The kit comes with everything except the 10-3 wire to connect the exterior socket to the panel, probably because every application will require a different length. I needed 30$ worth of 10-3.

    A great price for a complete kit that is CUL (and therefore CSA) approved. Meets all building codes in my area and is easy enough to operate that my wife is comfortable doing it.
