Can I use this transfer switch with shore power and a generator? (no more than 30Amp)

Yes, that's what this design. When generator starts should not be connected all the charging at the same time. Why generator may be damaged.

One that will transfer 30 amps of power and break it down into about 8 to 10 curkits in your existing main pannel with a manual transfer switch But you will need to shut the main in your existing pannel off befor turning on the auxillery pannel. I think Amazon sells the auzillery pannels also, hope this helps. Milt

No, as I understand what you are doing ... if you are coming from a generator, you need the other adapter that goes from the big L5-30 generator cable and splits that into 3 female 115V plugs. That's what I use with my generator. I just use this adapter with my computer equipment so I can plug into a regular 115V UPS outlet plug and convert it to an L5-30 type of plug for an 8 plug remote controllable power strip (within amp limits of course). I can't see this one as a popular adapter, ... the other male L5-30 which converts to 3 115V female plugs is probably what you're looking for. :)

Sorry, I can not answer that question as we have never used it with a generator.

Yes....I have the EU2000is and that is what I used it for. Takes the 3 prong 30 amp outlet and converts it to the 4 prong for a transfer switch. Hope this helps!

Yes as long as the generator has the 30amp outlet. If the generator doesn't have the 30amp outlet you can use an adapter or just use a good 10 or 12 gage cord.

No it does not. You likely have a 100 or 200 amp electric service and the generator has an output of about 30 amps. It should be able to handle your essential circuits though using an 8-10 circuit transfer panel

Yes you can switch over. It has a 50amp generator breaker and a 100amp grid breaker that it switches at the same time. Seems to work good when i tested it, perfect for my set up.

Nothing in your question makes any sense.... you need to get a qualified electrician to do your project. The Go Power TS 30 is simply an either-or automatic switch. It appears to me that you are trolling.

Switch has an 1800 watt maximum load recommendation. Should work as long as you do not exceed that.

No. Not with this cable. Most generators produce 240V 30 amps when using both sides of the generator(electrical side, not physically). 240V 30amps uses special plug (the L14-30 plug) which plugs directly to your house or RV. This cable splits it to two 120V 15amp. This way you can plug regular appliance/electronics.

No, I put a 30amp breaker in the main panel to feed one side of this switch. The other side will be wired to a generator. Hope this helps.

Not without enclosing it to protect it from the elements. If your breaker box is outside it would have to be enclosed somehow. You should place the generator connection outside and connect it to the transfer switch using conduit. I don't know of any transfer switch designed to be installed outside.

I'm sure you could it's just an electric switch. You will need 12 volts to power it. They have a 110 version also.

I don't see why not, but it wouldn't use a high amp setting, the terminals are not designed for heavy power flow.

The type of load shouldn't matter. I have not tested it but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. This relay operates exactly like a mechanical switch.

I used this transfer switch with a Westinghouse 7000W Running/8500W generator, and I believe it has a neutral bond. It works fine but you will have to buy a few new circuit breakers to get it up to 10 circuits if you need that many.
