What is the difference between this switch and the lower cost 31410CRK switch which also is a 30 amp, 10 circuit switch?

Another important difference is the ability to run a 30a circuit, such as an electric water heater. You cannot operate an electric water heater with the 31410CRK.
320581
The difference is in the type of circuit breaker used. Both are resettable, but the Q310A uses industry standard interchangeable circuit breakers, just like the circuit breakers used in standard electrical panels, the 31410CRK uses a push-button type circuit breaker.

q310a has fuse box type circuit breakers that can removed, exchanged,to meet yor personal needs.

I recommend a min of 10 amp rating ...pref..marine grade(sealed) if u in a wet environment U can also use a relay ...tends to be more reliable ,and switch lasts longer...Marine use is harder than off road truck/automotive use Connections should be coated for rust/etc

If you have the Q310C 10 Circuit Transfer Switch as it comes, the answer is no. However if you look closely at the face of the transfer switch, you will notice a square plastic cover that is held on by one screw and is approx. 2" x 2". If you remove that cover, you will notice that the hole underneath is actually round and there are three holes for screws. Reliance sells a Power Inlet Kit (Reliance PK 30, 30A,L14-30), that can be purchased and hardwired/attached where that round hole is. You would also have to open the bottom front of the Transfer Switch (screwed on) to gain access to the wiring and have room to work. And of course you also need to know what you are doing, to be safe. But you would then have the ability to plug a 30 amp twist and lock generator cord directly into the transfer switch. Keep in mind that Reliance also sells Transfer Switches that are already set up as I am describing to you. Reliance Q310A (I believe).

I'm not sure I understand your question,but the male and female ends of the pc3040 cable are permanently molded in rubber to the cable. If you wanted a different end you would have to cut the cable and install a removable end which is ok to do according to the instructions that come with the transfer switch, in fact my transfer switch came with an extra male 20 amp end in case I had a smaller generator. The only downside to cutting and replacing the end is that it won't be as weatherproof as the molded on permant ends the cable comes with.

That is the generic model description of the switch. Go to the HP site and look at the actual model no. using the matrix for the same switch, it will give you another part # that you can use in order to identify the correct unit according to the total power output.

Is there a difference between a red Bryant 20 amp breaker and a black murray 20 amp breaker?

I'm not sure but I would highly recommend looking for a different brand. I bought two of the exact same model thinking the first was a fluke, but both had the same problem of tripping the circuit breakers every other time I used it despite having used it on an outlet/ 20 amp circuit breaker specifically designated to it alone. Then I read the reviews. lots of people having the same problem. I know it doesn't answer your question, just trying to save you the aggravation I went through.

The one i recieved had the L-14-30amp, i zoomed in on the picture, and it has 30a ends also ,10/4 wire, probably just a typo on the L-14-20, its works great, seems to be good quality and the cord is very flexable, have a great day !!!

I am not an electrician. I spoke to the Lutron team. They told me that switches will differ slightly in looks and functionality from one subtype to another. The main difference here is the appearance- paddle switch Vs flat switch. The best way is to call Lutron Customer Service. They are very responsive and informative.

Hi - I don't know what the difference between the two is , but I put this one on a 200 amp service. I works fine. Just make sure it is across the 220 circuit. I moved the breakers around , so the top two, one on each side of the panel are usd. Then it is first if a fault comes in.

Yes you would only be pulling 10 amps . The only problem you need to find out what the continues operating amps. the switch will operate at for sure but I would say so.

Looks like the difference between the 101 and 101R is the "raintight" seal. If your switch is inside or under a protective cover, the one have should work, if it is exposed to the elements, you should probabaly return it and get the "R" model.

That's not a 14-30 plug, it's a 14-20 -- the difference is the 30 is for 30 amps and the 20 is for 20 amps.

I do not think using HP to compare or rate a switch works very well. The comparison needs to use amperage and voltage ratings for the equipment and switch. This switch has a rating of 16 amps at 120 volts. Use the 16 amp measurement to compare to what ever you want to electrically control.

Yes, it's just a mechanical contact closure. It doesn't care what type of voltage or signal it switches, within its current carrying capacity (25 amps). Break the hot wire (black) for the switching.

Yes, that switch is junk, In think it is a bad copy of the Honeywell switch, which I bought (after sending the former back)Honeywell RPLS539A works well, is good for 2 wire(comes with three, but two go to light(s) and one to "hot" Costs a few bucks more but worth it. When setting the clock, use the 24hr mode (military) time, less confusion with AM or PM settings. Enjoy.

My son in law is a building electrician.I asked him the same question when I bought the 8 amp.He said to get as far away as you can from the 5.9 amp motor.The 8 amp is a very good price and you won't find it on ebay because I looked. If you can afford the 10 amp get that one.You do not want to deal with the switch getting warm.That 8 amp switch I bought is working beautifully.You will burn up the 6 amp switch!!!
