Hi,I have a 4000w Gen w/ 4 120 volt, 20 amp grounded receptacles,an1 one 240 volt, 30 amp grounded receptacle. My breakers are all 15a,will this work?

Yes this will work, the control gives you a total of 4 120v 15a circuits, which you can select from the main panel and 1 240v double pole circuit, or you can remove the bridge and have 2 additional 120v circuits at 20a. You will need a long twist lock 30a power cord to reach from the generator location to this control. A lot of people buy the 30a weatherproof inlet box and istall it outdoors to plug the generator into, this is hard wired to the control, eliminating a cord running into the home through an open window or door. I hope this helps. Chris

Yes it will the best thing to do is to go on line an check the amps an watts for whatever you r going to hook up to it. Haven't had to use it yet , but ran a dry run and it worked great.

I'm not an electrician but I'm pretty sure ti would be fine. Mine doesn't have a 240 volt receptacle but the unit is set up for it.

I take it the 15A breakers are in the electrical panel not on the generator. If so then you will only be able to use the 4 15A (black ones) switches. The 2 20A (red ones) will not protect the 15A house wiring safely. You can get replacement 15A push button style breakers for this panel. Not to hard to replace they run about $15-$25 each. Call Reliance or do a search for them. You will use the 30A receptacle on your gen and will need a 30A cord with twist-lock ends. You can get this transfer switch in a kit form that includes a 10' cord, a outdoor receptacle and the switch cheaper than buying them separately.

I am not 100% sure but if your adapter would allow for the conversion to a regular 110 outlet it should work. Hope this helps

Yes it will work. The "20 Amp" rating refers to the amperage produced by the solar panels, so if the current produced by your panels at peak efficiency is below 20 amps (and off the top of my head, it is) you will be fine. Remember to hook this up in the EXACT order as the instructions say or else it ill blow a fuse. Good luck!

mine does fine on 15Amp breaker - there is a surge when you start first, but when it runs it runs - no problem

That cord kit should work. Only difference between the 15, 20, and 30amp kits is the shape of plug for each receptacle configuration. Install instructions are here. http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name;=49-7612-3_EN.PDF

From pervious answer: "It is 1500 the same as most of them. Ours just stopped working, we had it 3 years" not correct... Voltage is standard US household voltage of ~120V. Wattage is 1500. This is close to the maximum of must household outlet circuits. It will work fine in most cases, however, you cannot put two of these units on a single circuit. Two units will trip the breaker. One will not. From another previous answer: "Do not use this item with an extension cord or surge protector. It will melt the cord and short out the heater" This statement is true only if you use a small extension with inadequate wire guage. A good 12 ga. extension will work fine.

The wattage will be OK, but you also have to make sure the total amperage is below 30A. Also, depending on how you wire those four panels, you'll get different Voltage and amperage.

already had a 220 v. A/C recepticle in place that was rated at 20 Amp . it appears to have 12 ga. romex from what i can see. not sure if this helps.

I think this should work just fine - but I bought 2 dimmers and only one worked. The voltage of your power module is in the range of the dimmer and the current draw is well under the 2 amp. maximum. I cut the connectors off and soldered the wires directly into the circuit and the one unit works well.

The sockets are different sizes based on amperage ratings. If your window air conditioner plug is an L5-20P (20 amp) then it will work. However, the reason they do this to insure that your circuit has the capability to handle the load. If you are plugging this into a socket on a 15 amp breaker, you could have problems.

I'm not qualified to answer that question. I'm not a professional. I'm using it for lighting & a bath fan. I use a 15 amp breaker with 14g wire, not a 20. I always check manufactures recommendations. There may be local codes as well to consider when running a new circuit.

My plugs are normal working household plugs. They don't take high voltage well and this toastie tush has never thrown a breaker or caused any over load. I believe all my electrical plugs are 120

Hi Miss, You probable have your answer but I thought I would elaborate on this. On the DC side, 25 amps. On the AC side, 15 or 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker. Not sure which side e.g. AC or DC you were refering to. You could use a AC power strip & surge protector that has a 15 amp breaker built into it with a manual reset button. Good luck, Greg.

I use a 50amp @ 240VAC breaker. I would not go lower than that.I don't use it in 120V mode, but if I did it would be for light work (16 gauge rods) and I would use a 30 amp breaker, keeping in mind "light work only", otherwise it will trip the breaker. Bear in mind that normal 120V household circuits are 15 - 30 amp circuits, so if you intend to exceed 30 amps in 120V mode, run a dedicated circuit using suitably rated (50 amps) conductor wires.Hope that this helps.

So I'm not gonna sugar coat....the breaker opened at 4800w surge on test. Meaning 20a @ 240v. Might be the cheap Chinese breaker on the unit, might be a realistic shock load for it to bear.

Absolutely, but make sure your baseboard is 240 (not 120). There's another relay for 120v

I use it with my generator, it kept blowing my GFI breaker, I put a regular 110 outlet in and it runs my trailer with both AC, I have used it at a few parks without a GFI breaker outlet, so if you have. GFI breaker in the circuit you need to replace it with a regular 110v outlet and it should work just fine. Hope this helps??
