Generac 6853 Home Link Upgradeable 30 Amp Transfer Switch Kit with 10' Cord and Resin Power Inlet Box

Generac makes amazing products and this kit is just more of the same. Great price point as well.

This is a very impressive item. It cost me $360 to have it professionally installed, and during a power outage, I plug my generator (240 volt) into the box installed on the outside of my house, and I have power to my fridge, blower motor on my gas furnace, sump pump and lights upstairs and down stairs. All the basics without multiple extension cords running through windows. It comes with everything you need to have it installed and wires directly into your breaker panel. Everything is controlled with a single switch. Very recommended

Instructions could have bigger illustrations. I read blogs of Generac should have supplied wires and a 50 amp breaker. I beg the differ as there are at least half a dozen Manufactures of breakers out there. And how much wire is enough? I did buy a circuit breaker as suggested by Generac that matched my breaker box. Placement of the inlet box will differ from one home to another thus you would need to figure out how much wire you must buy or replace the supplied wires for longer ones. Then I read blogs saying they cant hook up a 120v generator. Wrong, you can as I have. Some folks didn't do some homework. Generac input box comes with a L14 input that is ready for 220 volts and there are 2 legs of 110 v that add up to 220v. There is a L14 to L5 Dongle you must get but must be labeled Bridged. I am happy with my unit and I did take time to install and perform custom installation as we all have different needs and configurations. Good Luck to all. 9/8/2020, I am adding additional info, although I was able to use my 120v generator and the transfer switch will return to utility on the panel when utility returns. However, switching to generator operation requires a manual activation unless you have a 220v generator. A 220v generator purchase is in the works for me. This way I will not need the dongle and can use the 4 prong L14 extension cord. Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences.

Good setup with electrician, first test worked seamlessly
