Frequently Asked Questions

Which Power Inlet Box can I use with each Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switch?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
A four-wire, twist lock connector is needed. Reliance manufactures suitable Power Cords with a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other end. The four wires consist of two 120-volt "hot" lines, one neutral and one ground. The main difference is that the Pro/Tran? Series can easily be either hard-wired to a remote power inlet box or cord-connected to the generator, whereas the Gen/Switch??? was designed to be only cord connected.

Can I use a Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switch on any 20-amp circuit in my house?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The switches and wires in each transfer switch are rated for 20 amps. However, in the generator mode, each circuit is limited to the amperage of the circuit breakers in the Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switch. Some of these breakers are 15 amps and some are 20 amps. The circuits with 15 amp transfer switch breakers can be connected to either 15 or 20 amp circuits in the main panel. The circuits with the 20 amp transfer switch breakers must be connected to 20 amp circuits in the main panel.

Can I hardwire my Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switch instead of using a power cord?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Even the cord-connected models can be hardwired. Use the cover plate supplied with every unit to cover the power inlet opening.

Can I use a generator whose wattage exceeds the wattage on the Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switch?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
This is acceptable for peak wattage but not recommended for running wattage. Pulling more than the rated wattage through the Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switch could burn out the neutral wire, overheat the main wiring in the transfer switch and cause a fire. To insure proper safety precautions, a suitable double pole breaker should be installed between the generator and the transfer switch when the running wattage of the generator exceeds the rating of the transfer switch.

How long does it take to connect a Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switch?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
About an hour by a qualified electrician familiar with residential wiring electrical codes. If installed with a power inlet box, the installation could take slightly longer. Since each unit is pre-wired, the installer simply needs to determine which circuits will be needed during an outage, wire each set of wires in the transfer switch to those circuits, install the neutral and the ground, and test the installation under load.

Are Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switches automatic?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
They are manual transfer switches designed for residential or light commercial use with a 5000-12,500 watt standby generator.

Are Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switches pre-wired?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
Each Reliance Pro/Tran? manual transfer switch comes completely pre-wired with a Red and Black wire for each circuit, plus a white neutral and a green ground wire. Reliance Panel/Link? models are generally not pre-wired, the exception being the TRC Series suffix "P" which come with 12 pre-wired circuits including the branch circuit breakers. The Reliance Pro/Tran? "Q" Series manual transfer switches are specifically designed to handle high wattage appliances.

What is the maximum load on each side of the Pro/Tran? transfer switch?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
The wattmeters on each Reliance Pro/Tran? transfer switch allow you to balance the load on each of the incoming 120 volt lines in order to gauge how much generator capacity is being used and to maximize generator performance. No meters are needed for balancing on the 4-circuit Models 15114A & 30114A since they have only one leg. Meters are not standard on the Pro/Tran??? Models 31406B, 31410B, 51406B and 51410B. They can be added at any time by installing the optional Watt Meter Panel.

Can I use the IS Switch on the system to switch power?

Expo Technologies
Because the IS switch is actuated by the control unit when pressure is ok rather than when purge is complete you cannot use this for switching power into your enclosure. The standard allows the using to monitor the purge time and once complete manually apply the power. The same applies to loss of pressure.

Can I use my existing Reliance Netconnect when I switch from one model to another?

Lambert Cables & Communications - India
It depends upon the make and model. Some manufacturers use the same modem across all models (Example: Samsung) while some have model specific modems. It is recommended that when you switch models you reinstall the Reliance Netconnect software.

How many double-pole 240 volt circuits are provided on each Reliance Load-Side? transfer switch?

Reliance Controls Corporation | Frequently Asked Questions
The 6-circuit models can be configured for one (1) 20 amp double-pole circuit for use on one 240-volt circuit, and are provided with one (1) handle tie. The 8-circuit models can be configured for up to one (1) 20 amp and three (3) 15 amp double-pole breakers, and one (1) handle tie is provided. The 10-circuit models can be configured for up to two (2) 20 amp and three (3) 15 amp double-pole breakers and two (2) handle ties are provided.

What happens when the Utility Power is restored while I'm using my generator and transfer switch?

Gentran Corporation: Generator Transfer switches for home & ...
When your utility power is restored, lights and appliances in your home not connected to generator power will turn on; alerting you that utility power has been restored. Because Gen/Tran PowerStay?

There is no danger of back feeding the utility power. No.

When would I use a high entry inlet?

FAQ's
Although an added expense, a properly sized high entry inlet serves many purposes. It is necessary when filtering light density dust. Hopper inlets keep the dust airborne so it re-entrains on the bags. The high entry inlet allows the dust to flow around the bags and settle in the hopper. Dust under 30 pounds per cubic foot and low micron size dust (<10 micron) falls into this category. If you have a dust loading of over 5 grains per cubic foot, you may require a high entry inlet.

What is a transfer switch?

Progress Group - Generators, UPS systems and Temporary Elect...
A transfer switch is a panel that is wired into the premises electrical distribution system to allow a generator to be used. It prevents the generator from back feeding into the mains power supply which could cause serious injury to line workers trying to restore utility power supplies.
