I purchassed and installed a Reliance Controls 10 circuit 30amp generator switch with power cord and power inlet box model 31410CRK. The product was exactly as advertised, and I had no problems installing it, even though I never did house wireing before, but I do have some knowlege of basic electronics.
The only sugestion I have for Reliance is to include basic testing instructions. For example, an ohm meter could be used to check each of the 10 circuit switches, and insure connection of the right wires. I noticed the wire labeled “I” looked like a sidways “H”.
The flexible metal conduit had to be shortened. If you need to shorten it, it’s not very difficult. Just unravel the metal at the end, and bend back and forth to break of some of the material. It looks better to have the conduit flat against the mounting board rather than making it loop out in order to place the transfer switch closer to your main circuit breaker box.
I recomend the 10 circuit model. If you get the 6 circuit, and if you have a refrigerator, furnace fan, sump pump and freezer, these appliances are probbably on seperate lines, leaving only 2 of the 6 circuits available for lighting and TVs etc.
I did not purchass a generator yet. Just waiting for a good deal.
If you are only working with 120 volt circuits, you can test the unit without a generator. If you are not sure about what you are doing, I would get expert advise before doing this. All the transfer switches should be in the down position (power coming from utility lines).
Before connecting the wiring that you purchassed separatly to the outdoor inlet box, connect the Black and Red wires to a short lenght of 10 gage wire with a wire nut. Insert the short wire into the hot side of a heavy duty extension cord, and plug the cord into an electric outlet. Make sure you connect to the Hot wire. A volt meter should show 110 volts between the hot wire and the ground.
The above steps supply 110 volts from the utility lines to both sides of the transfer switch unit. If the outlet is controlled by the transwitch, you will not be able to check that one switch, so try to find an outlet that isn’t conntected to the transfer switch.
Now, when you move one of the transfer circuit switches to the Up or Generator position, the circuit connected to that switch will receive its power from the extension cord. Only move one transfer swith to the generator position at a time, since the power is being supplyd by the utility lines thu one of your main circuit breakers. As each switch is moved up and then down again, you should only lose power on the protected branch ciruit momentarily when the switch is in the middle position.
Testing 220 volt lines would be more difficult, consult an eletrician or rent a generator to test the whole system.

Very easy to install. Just watch the online video first. I had a chance to use my Reliance Controls 31410CRK 10-Circuit transfer switch about 2 weeks after I installed it. Worked perfect!! I’m using it with my Honda EU6500is generator. I’m glad I got the 10 circuit model! The 6 circuit model would not do all the circuits I wanted to power. With the 10 circuit model, I can run my hot water heater OR the rest of my house, just not both at the same time.

After having borrowed a generator last year and “put up” with power outages in the years before I decided to purchase a generator this year. Rather than run cords I chose to install this transfer switch and power inlet box. Reliance Controls has made a great product. It’s very rugged and well-made. The manual was easy to follow and wiring didn’t take long at all. (Reliance Controls has an easy to understand, clear installation video on its website too.) All of the necessary items are packaged in the box right down to wire nuts for the breakers and inlet box connection. (Of course though you need to buy wire to run to the inlet box from the transfer switch.) Actual operation is very easy and safe and the built-in watt meters are helpful to double-check load balancing. This is a terrific product and very user-friendly. I highly recommend it.

This is an excellent product. It was easy to install and easy to use. I chose this product because some of the competing products have more wiring involved and it is possible to backfeed house power into your generator. With this switch panel, that unhappy outcome is impossible. I strongly recomend this product.

Just finished installing the Reliance 31410CRK generator transfer panel and love it. Here in New Hampshire the power frequently burps, summer or winter. Winter is the biggest concern, and this panel handles my 240VAC deep well pump, gas-fired FHW heating system and all other critical circuits. Beats hiring an electrician to install a primary feed transfer and all the assorted expensive cabling for the building CB panel.

Seems to be a very solid product, installation was easy, and everything tested out successfully. It is great to have the peace of mind knowing that each time we lose power that it is no big deal… Simply pull out the generator, fire it up, and flip the switches. It was always a huge pain before with running cords everywhere and having to pull out the frig just to plug it in. I’m very happy so far but I guess we’ll see how it goes when the power goes out.

First paragraph is my story. Paragraphs after that are my comments and review. Skip the first paragraph if you just want my comments on this product.
I already owned a generator but was looking to stop using extension coords. This package fit my needs to a “T”. I installed the outside inlet and had wired that to the inside switch box, but had not done the actual wiring to the breaker panel. I did have the wires into the breaker box, just not connected to anything. I was going to methodically go through all my circuits to balance the load. So much for taking my time. We had lots and lots of rain and about mid day the power went out. I waited 20 minutes and knew it was not coming back on. I was not about to run extension cords, so put on my battery powered headlamp and headed for the breaker panel. First thing was the Fridge. Then the Freezer. Then a bathroom light circuit. I kept watching the built in meters to try and keep things balanced as I was guessing at to how much each circuit would need. Hooked up all 10 switch circuits and was pretty much living like the power never went out. Watching news flashes on TV about the rain, using computer to get email from relatives. In fact, I didn’t even realize power was restored till I glanced over to see the clock on the electric stove was on.
So much for my story. This product is just what the doctor ordered. Everything except for the wire between the Outside Inlet to Transfer Box was provided. Hook up was very straight forward and instructions were clear. I’m not an electrician, but do have experience and knowledge in wiring.
There is nothing that I found that would keep me from buying this product again. Only two things that I will comment on. They are not bad enough to bring down my 5 star rating, just wanted to pass them on.
Switches on the transfer box are somewhat easy to trip or throw to another position. Unless you have this in an out of the way area, you may want to see if there is a cover for the front of it so that no one accidently throws a switch by brushing by it. Mine is right by my freezer in the basement, so my shoulder is about equal to the switches. Each switch has 3 positions. LINE, OFF, and GEN. You actually have a hard time getting the switch to the OFF position. When you go to switch it, it almost jumps past the OFF position into the opposite end of it’s throw. Once you know that, it’s just a matter of being very careful and slow if you want to only go to the OFF position.
The wires are marked with the ID of the transfer switch it is wired to, but be very careful as the “H” can be looked at like an “I” and vice versa. Keep in mind I was doing this in the dark with just a flashlight, so that could have been why I needed to look very close to the ID while wiring.
I would highly recommend this to anyone needing a hardwired transfer switch. Only other thing to recommend is to map out your existing breakers so that you know exactly what outlets go to what breakers in advance of getting your transfer switch. That will help in deciding what to wire were and what is an absolute necessity in a power outage.
