I want to switch between a 15000 wt generator and a 4000 wt gen. Is this or the Generac 6333 60 amp a better choice?

Looking at both, I'd say that feature-wise it's a tie. The Generac transfer switch is $30 less. That said, I installed two of the Reliant transfer switches (at two houses) six years ago: quality was good; installation was simple; and 2 hurricanes, 1 freak snowstorm and 1 microburst later I am still very happy with it (and the Reliant outdoor power inlet boxes I put in at the same time). Recommended.

I do not understand the nature of the question;With power generation it is important to know ,the country in which this question the is asked because different countries have various differences in power systems, plugs, especially amps/voltage.Since this system of this generator is 4 circuits at 120volt 15/20 amps one circuit is 240 volt/40 amp lock.twistA licensed electrician could best answer any change,conversion of voltage /amps according to Standard for the country of intended use.

1875 watts is the maximum load you can put on the transfer switch. The switch doesn't care about the generator size only the load that it will be controlling...hope that helps.

depends how many circuits you want to have active, look at Generac 6408 (6-10 circuit) or Reliance 31406CRK (5-6 circuits)

No it doesnt.doesnt have much of anything. hour meter the output voltage is iverstated too.it only puts out 14 amps at 120 volts.the thing is junk.i wouldnt recomend a generac to anyone

There are 2 big names in transfer switching....Generac and Reliance. I chose the Reliance because of the great price at Amazon, and after researching the unit, realized it would be an easy DIY install. But in Hindsight, I wish I would have bought the 10 circuit unit instead. The Wh7500E has enough output to power all the 120 volt circuits in my house including the furance, but due to having only 6 circuit available 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are not powered . Three weeks ago, a transformer blew in our neighborhood . I plugged in the westinghouse fired it up hit the breakers on the Reliance and everything came back on. I was even able to run a line to the neighbor so he could keep his refrig running. So I guess I lean toward the Reliance switch and would recommend the 10 circuit unit, especially if you need 220 volts for AC or Heat. A 220 Volt circuit ties up 2 breakers.

On their web site at http://www.generac.com/Service/ManualSearch/ and enter 0062440 as the Model #.

Yes but you need to talk to an electrician about amperage demand and make sure you have enough propane to supply your needs spend the extra money and go larger if you want to power your hvac the generator will last longer

Sorry I returned the generator and switch. But from my experience ask your contractor who is doing install. Some switches are easier and require less wiring. It can save you lots of money.

Don't know, after spending hours doing research before buying my Westinghouse generator, I found out that no matter what the brand is, besides the cheap ones, they are all different. The Westinghouse offers more for the money than any of the other generators I did my research on.

They are the same size but both come with different terminals make sure you get the battery with the 1/4 " bolt style vertical terminals for a generac brand generator because some of these batteries have lay down snap connectors and they won't fit a generac generator with bolt style cables, plus get the battery with 12V10aH not 12V9aH. Hope this was helpful.

No. I do not know, but my Generac is not working again. It is propane model.

I agree with James, assuming your generator is peak 5500, you should be fine. Remember that the transfer switch likes to balance the load, half on one side A&B; circuits and half on E&F; circuits (C&D; is for the 220volt circuit). Check out this web page, look at the Q&A; section. http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/Reliance-Controls-20216A/p1113.htmlSwitch is super easy to install, gauge works well to watch wattage load too. Be sure your amperages are right, that will trip the gen each time if not.

Depending on what else u run with generator , it does not require many amps when running . A 3kw will be fine Maybe a lil surge when u first plug it in

Both are good generators. I also have a Yamaha 4500. Bought this for fall and winter camping. Runs the trailer to include the microwave. Very quiet and a tank of gas lasts over 12 hours. Excellent quality for the price.

I've owned several generators not savy on decibel levels for numbers however I have a gas gen slightly higher KW 1 to 10 rating 10 as loudest 1 as quiet ,I rate gas gen 8 to 9 whereas the lp gen in question I rate at a 5 or 6, I also have a 10 KW lp generac whole house gen that is probable close to the 5 or 6 level. Just repaired for a friend a gas gen 4 KW this one you better have ear plugs a 10 plus. Hope this was helpful. You could pay thee thousand or and get a quieter unit but hardly a fair trade off comparing cost and it's LP no old gas.

This is a 25 amp generator for 48 volt Ie total about 1250 watts total if it was doing bulk charge It should preferably have generator with more wattage than that.1500 to 2000 should suffice
