Editorial Review: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Performed as DescribedI 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 ... Read More Rating: - GenTran ResponseI'd like to address the comment made about our 3028K kit. We always recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician familiar with local and national codes, and familiar with portable generators. We include a power inlet box enclosure in this kit package in order to save the consumer money. We include a power inlet mounted in the transfer switch when plug-in connection is desired, as in a garage installation. But when the transfer switch is hardwired, as in a basement installation, the ... Read More Rating:  - Not all it appears to beI was looking for a good deal on a transfer switch with all the accessories needed to hook up a portable generator from outside the house because it could get costly. I ran across this GenTran package which was supposed to include the transfer switch box with circuit breakers, a 25 foot cord, and the power inlet box. The cord is used to attach the generator to the power inlet box which in turn connects to the transfer switch box that remains indoors right next to your circuit breaker panel. The power ... Read More Rating: - GenTran 30 Amp 8-Circuit Transfer Switch Product shipped promptly. Instructions were complete and product was of good quality. Installed easily, had to change two circuit breakers but these were obtained locally and changed with no issue. Unit installed in less then a day and works perfectly. Rating: - Good buyGood value, can interchange circuit breakers from local stores if they go bad or you want other sizes (unlike cheaper models and other brands), easy to install with minimal experience and good instructions. |
