Tools and Hardware Reviews of GenTran 3028 30 Amp 8-Circuit Transfer Switch/Power Inlet Box/Power Cord Kit For Up To 7,500-Watt Generators
Customer Review: 3028 Transfer Panel
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, you need to go to the "Gen Tran" web site and download the correct installation instructions as the one that comes in the box is NOT the correct sheet. It will work but I found that the "3028" is not listed. I prefer to have the right info and materials when working on a electrical panel. There are few second chances working there.
So for my install, I put the panel in the basement and ran a 10/4 cable 30ft to the exterior box supplied in the kit. I removed the NEMA male plug from the transfer panel and covered the hole with the round plate supplied. After connecting the 10/4 to the transfer panel (just put the same color wires from cable that were used on the NEMA plug to the circuit breakers in the transfer panel). Next, install the NEMA plug you took out of the panel into the exterior box and wire it to the 10/4 cable. Now you just hook one end of the extention cord that came in the kit to the generator and the other to the exterior box you just wired.
Back at the main panel and transfer panel, follow the instructions for hooking it up. I will tell you that if you have any doubt about doing this, call an electrician and save the cost of screw ups and a trip to the morgue. But you can do the previous steps easily which will save you money when the electrician comes. Most of the previous steps will take the most time of the hook up. The main panel hook up shouldn't take more than 2 hours. I say 2 hours because in my case, I had to switch around some circuit breakers so that I could install the 2 pole 60 amp breaker in the main panel.
That is about it, although I would write down the switching instructions and have them posted by the main & transfer panels. Pilots use check lists to prevent screw ups...you can too.
To sum it all up, a very good product, a great price and easily installed for most home owners, but a minimial cost if done by a professional.
Protect your investment (your house) by installing this product.
Don't backfeed as you are responsibile for damage at the pole AND if your insurance co. finds out what you've done....no more insurance. Do it the right way for the sake of your family.
