Reliance Controls CSR202 Easy/Tran Transfer Switch (Pack of 2)

I purchased this to install as a transfer switch for a 3250W Generac portable unit. My key was to power my furnace (120v) and power my bedroom lights on the second floor. This was very simple to install and setup. The most difficult part was really finding the best place to place the switch so that the cables reach into my main panel. I could have gone for a 6 circuit unit, but there is so little room in my old 1979 main panel with spaghetti of cables that this was best option. I purchased 40ft of cable to connect to my generator through a basement window. Simple and free installation. <$200 and my generator now can power my most essential needs in upcoming power outages.As a side note, this switch is meant to connect two 20A 120V circuits, or one 20A 240V. Either way be careful not to connect two 15A circuits to it as the wiring in your walls is not meant to be fed 20A. The Generac unit I am using has a breaker for 14.5A which made it ok for me to connect to 1 15A circuit and one 20A.Also, this switch does NOT come with any wire looms or anything to help you connect to your panel, but nothing to worry about as you can get all of these at your local home depot for a few $$.The construction seems super heavy duty and durable and it is said to be waterproof for outside use, however I used mine inside my basement.Very happy with it and happy to be prepared for a power outage... last year Sandy left me with two weeks of no power--lesson learned!

This switch came with a 20 amp mail plug. Generators in the 4 to 5k range will almost always have a 30 amp output receptacle. This product should be sold as a 3k generator switch or clearly described as having a 20 amp input plug. Hire a retired electrical engineer (like me) to review the product descriptions.

I ended up having to disassemble and re-wire it to use it in my makeshift motorbike, to switch between battery and generator/shore power. But it’s working very well for me!

Easily installed. I had to use aplug adaptor which mad it a tight fit to plug in the generator

Only for a single circuit and I cannot return it because I didn't try to install it before the expired date to return arrive

Excellent item, works great and achieve my expectation...

hinge broken but I fixed semm simple to hook up
