Key Components of the Reliance Transfer Switch

Circuit breakers. Each transfer switch circuit has a 1-in interchangeable circuit breaker
that protects the branch circuit when the circuit selector switch is in the GEN position. In
the LINE position, each branch circuit is protected by the breaker in the load center.
Circuit selector 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 is generally not used, as a switch in the OFF position
removes that branch circuit from both utility and generator power.
Handle ties. Handle ties are used for 240-volt circuits or multi-wire branch circuits. They
may be removed for 120-volt circuits. See page 6 for instructions on removing and adding
handle ties.
Power inlet (selected models only). The power cord from the generator is plugged into
this inlet. Not needed for hard-wire installation with remote power inlet box.
Power inlet filler plate. Models without the power inlet installed have a filler plate
covering the hole in the wiring compartment cover. This can be replaced with a power
inlet. Models with a power inlet installed have a filler plate included in the unit carton. This
can replace the power inlet for hard-wire installation.
Wiring Compartment Cover. All models include a wiring compartment that can be used
to hard-wire the unit to a remote power inlet box.
Analog wattmeters (suffix -A and -C models). These meters indicate the total load, in
watts, on each side of the generator when the generator is supplying power as follows:
The left meter measures the load on The right meter measures the load on
A, C, and E 6-circuit B, D and F 6-circuit
A, C, E, G and I 10-circuit B, D, F, H and J 10-circuit
Note: The watt meters will register only if power is being used from the generator.
