KEY COMPONENTS OF THE RELIANCE CONTROLS TRANSFER SWITCH KIT



.


Circuit Breakers

These UL489 branch circuit breakers
provide over-current protection when the
toggle switch is in the GEN position.
Push to reset. The main panel branch
circuit protection provides the protection
when the switch is in the LINE position.

Wattmeters

Wattmeters indicate the total load on
your generator measured in watts
resulting from the appliances that are
running using generator power. They are
calibrated to show how close your

generator is to its capacity.

Handle Tie

Used to link two 120 Volt circuits together
to create a 240 volt circuit to run larger

appliances such as a well pump.

Pre-Wired Flexible Conduit
Whip

Contains all of the hot, neutral and ground wires
required to make connections between your
transfer switch and the circuit breakers in your load
center you choose to control. Each wire is color-
coded and marked with the switch letter for easy
identification.

30 Amp Twist-Lock

Power Cord

30 Amp 20-foot long outdoor -rated
power cord has L14-30 connectors.
One end plugs into your generator
power outlet and the other into the

Reliance Power Inlet Box.

20 Amp

Power Cord

Plug

Allows the use of the
Reliance 30 Amp power cord
on smaller generators with
only 20 Amp power outlets,

Circuit Selector

Toggle Switches

These switches allow you to select either
GEN (generator) or LINE (utility) as the
power source for the branch circuits that
have been wired through the transfer
switch. The OFF position generally is not
used, as a switch in the OFF position
removes that circuit both from generator

and utility power
