510C Pro/Tran2 50-Amp 10-Circuit 2 Manual Transfer Switch with Watt Meters

Solid design. Installation went well. Works as expected. I would definitely purchase again if the need arises. Only hitch is shipped in manufacturers carton without a second shipping carton. Arrived with damage to carton and had to straighten a bent mounting tab. Not a huge deal. Overall very satisfied.

Ok so you want to tie your generator or in my case an inverter to your home. This is an easy way to solve that problem. It is a very good quality poduct that will give you 10 circuits to tie into your home even if you have never done anything like this before. They have videos on line that make it so simple almost anyone can do it. A bit expensive but it works. The only complaint I have is the wires are not long enough even when installed right next to your circuit breaker box.

Works great. No worries now

OK! We have 10 kw of on-grid solar (12.48 kw of panels). I wanted to do more: 1) Because my provider is a municipality unregulated by the utilities commission and plays some pretty dirty tricks, but I digress. 2) To decrease CO2 and do my part toward mitigating climate change, of course. 3) to be able to turn on the porch lights and go wave at the neighbors during the rather notoriously frequent power outages my provider provides.There was no way they were going to let me install more solar; I knew better than to even try. So I got off grid solar - it doesn't touch the grid at all - ever. LiFePO batteries, 6.8kw, 48v inverter, Classic 150 charge controller, and this thing. They can't tell me I can't have it. It's none of their business; I'm not part of their business (Pun intended)This thing, I thought, was perfect, and I was right. It's mounted on a cinder block wall, about eye level high, and all ten circuits are wired into a 200 amp main breaker panel in a 3000 sq ft building with 10 foot ceilings. The ganged breakers farthest left do the water pump. The next ganged breakers do pretty much all the (LED) ceiling lights in the building. And then, the kitchen, the living room, the computer room, like that, until all 10 circuits were used up. I thought that if I used two of them for the water heater, I'd regret it. That thing's 5500 watts and who needs that, leaving only 1300 watts for anything else during a power outage when there would be hot water for a day or two in any case, depending on usage. I wanted to do the (4 ton) heat pump. That takes about 3500 watts and would have worked, except the inverter couldn't get it started and we aborted. It probably takes something like 50 or 60 amps as it's starting. The furnace (with a forced air blower) IS wired in, though! The furnace is dual fuel, the heat pump backed up with natural gas. So there is almost NOTHING we can't do off-grid!Here's the fun part: In Nov and Dec, there really isn't much sun! There's really only good sun for 5 or 6 hours. There are rainy, overcast days, especially thanks to climate change. The panels will, sooner or later get covered with snow, at some point. I can tweak and fine-tune the load so there's never any solar going to waste or, on the other hand, discharging the really expensive batteries below 20%, which will decrease their lifespan (~25+ years). I love the fine control. If we didn't make anything much on a given day, I put the refrigerators, freezer, furnace, etc on-grid and leave the rest off grid. If the batteries are in good shape, everything goes off-grid! (Which causes the on-grid solar to send the Township relatively massive amounts of electricity.) No water heater, no electric car quick charging, no heat pump. That's about it!I like it a lot! On the one hand, there's nothing unnecessary in it. The wire sizes are just what they need to be, not a bit more. On the other hand, the box is extremely well-made and well thought out and I have no complaints. It could have been a hair better for me if it had more 20 amp breakers because my main panel has mostly 20 amp breakers. But the breakers can be easily switched out, easily ganged, easily un-ganged, etc. I also wish there was a 12 circuit option. The 10 circuits in this got used up quickly.The really nice thing, with this box, is that if you move the switch in a firm, swift, accurate motion, it'll go right through the center off position to either on-grid (line) or to off-grid (gen - aka solar) IN ALMOST NO TIME!! This is great. I'm typing to you off-grid right now. I guarantee you I could switch the computer room from off-grid to on-grid and back 10 times without crashing a thing in here. All the usual internet stuff, two computers, 3 NAS's and more. Same with the kitchen. A very short power outage nukes the clock on the microwave. I could switch back and forth all day (or until my fingers get tired) and not nuke that clock! That was actually kind of unexpected! I don't know how they did it, but I'm sure that quick switching was no accident, some thought appears to have gone into the design. Lastly, everything electrical costs a small fortune. With that in mind, this is a very solid deal for the price and it's unique to the point where the solar installer, on the phone, informed me there was no such thing, when I was telling him what I wanted and describing this thing on the phone. It's actually intended for generator backup, and it will, of course, work equally well | just the same for that.The meters have rings that go around the wires - it operates in much the same way as a clamp meter. The wires for the circuits are in some big, flexible conduit that take them to the main breaker panel. They're labelled. one color goes to the breaker. The other color wire gets wire-nutted to the wire that was on the breaker. This is true for all 10 circuits. The two wires hanging in the bottom of the transfer panel get connected to the aux input - in my case, solar, normally a generator.

Pair this with a 50A inlet, a portable generator of the right size and you can have internet and running water when the power is out in the country. Add in a Micro Air soft starter to your outdoor A/C unit and you can even run your central air conditioning with this.Meets code as it doesn't backfeed power into the panel rather the panel feeds power to this and this feeds the circuit in your house. When on generator, the generator feeds power into this and then you flip a switch in this panel and that switches the supply to the house circuit over to your generator. It is intended to be an affordable way to power about 10 critical circuits in your home during a power outage like a well pump if you don't have city water or a furnace blower if you have gas heat.

The cheapest way to interconnect your solar system to your house, safely and easy to install....

These 1p-circuit units are great! I installed 4 to select any load in my house's 200 amp panel, and addition's sub-panel, with a few circuits to spare. So based on how sunny it is for my off-grid solar power system, I can select what loads to use on back-up power, or power all from grid or from back-up. The 3-position switches are a whopping 30-amp, regardless if you are backing up a 15 or 20 amp circuit. These switches are definitely not a weak link. I only wish these units were made with more than 10 circuits. The leads could be a little longer though. I tossed the 1-inch dia. 18-inch long flex conduit, and installed with 1" EMT into a 4x4" steel trough.

This lis certainly a well-made product that looked like the right choice for switching individual circuits from the line to my 10,000 watt backup generator. I selected which 10 circuits I wanted to be live during a power outage and can switch them over individually in case one has an issue. In theory it is perfect, but in practice it was not flexible enough to cover all required circuits. Every 220V circuit requires the use of two 15A/20A breakers, so 10 circuits get used up quickly when 2 of them are A/C units. Furthermore, these breakers MUST always carry the entire circuit current rating since they share a common return. The 100A circuit that covers the pool pump/heater sub-panel would have used up too many circuits that I would not be able to have any lights or outlets active, so I was unable to keep the pool pump running at all, even for short periods of time (critical to keep the water from turning icky). Oops, I didn't think this one through.After multiple meetings with the electrician, I was forced to swap this out for a very simple manual transfer switch that has a normal 200A capability when switched to the line side and a 60A capability (should match the max current of the generator) when switched to the generator side. The normal breakers are still in-circuit, so I have overload protection on all separate circuits. Simpler is better! Lesson learned...

really cant give a review yet as I have not installed it , when I do I will review, for now , it is well made , nice quality, great for a portable generator, it is going to hook up to a Westinghouse Wgen12000 I also have the input connection and 50 amp cable so will review all at a later date, easy to install with the how to videos, right now would recommend this to those who cant afford a 20K install. But remember this is not an Automatic Transfer Switch but a manual .

Needs to be installed close to the existing panel and I was able to. Watch the videos, it made the hook ups very easy

Complément parfait de génératrice pout gérer très facilement une panne. Rencontre les normes canadiennes CSA et le code du bâtiment. Ensemble complet, prêt à être installé.

The product is good and easy to install, but the cover was bend by shipping or package so is hard to close.

Great product. Works well.
