It must be installed by a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePower Your Essential Home Circuits From a Jackery, Without Extension Cords\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jackery Manual Transfer Switch (120V 30A) is a pre-wired, six-circuit manual transfer switch in a metal cabinet for indoor installation next to your breaker panel. A compatible Jackery power station plugs into its L5-30 power inlet, and you flip each circuit from LINE to GEN when the grid goes down. Jackery lists it as compatible with the Jackery 2000 Plus, HomePower 3600 Plus and HomePower 3600 Pro Max. It prevents dangerous backfeeding into utility lines, and a licensed electrician should install it and confirm it suits your panel and local code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120V \/ 30A\u003c\/strong\u003e rating, L5-30 power inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e selected from your breaker panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-wired\u003c\/strong\u003e for a simpler install by your electrician\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 stations\u003c\/strong\u003e listed by Jackery: 2000 Plus, 3600 Plus, 3600 Pro Max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a transfer switch beats a tangle of extension cords\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout a transfer switch, a power station only runs what you can reach with a cord. During an outage that means dragging the refrigerator out, running cords under doors, and leaving the furnace blower, garage door and hard-wired lights dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA manual transfer switch changes that. An electrician mounts it beside your breaker panel and wires up to six circuits you choose, for example the kitchen refrigerator circuit, a few lighting circuits, the router outlet or a gas furnace blower. When the power goes out, you connect your Jackery to the switch's inlet and move those circuits from LINE to GEN. Everything on them runs from its usual outlet or switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause each circuit is switched between the grid and the power station, the station cannot push power back onto utility lines. Backfeeding is a serious hazard to line workers and to your equipment, and avoiding it is the main reason to use a transfer switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSix switchable circuits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix toggle switches, labelled A to F, each move one circuit between LINE (grid), OFF and GEN (power station), with a breaker for each circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eL5-30 power inlet, 120V 30A\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour compatible Jackery connects to the switch through a 30A, 125V L5-30 locking inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePre-wired for installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJackery describes the switch as completely pre-wired, which shortens the job for your electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWattmeter and protective cover\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA color-coded wattmeter shows the load, and a hinged cover protects the toggle switches and circuit breakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal cabinet for indoor use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure is metal and designed for indoor installation, normally right beside the main panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs it right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners of a Jackery 2000 Plus, HomePower 3600 Plus or HomePower 3600 Pro Max who want to back up house circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomes in outage-prone areas with a gas furnace, hard-wired lights or a garage door that cannot be plugged into a power station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone tired of running extension cords through the house every time the power goes out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNot the right fit for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower stations Jackery does not list for this switch, including the HomePower 2000 Plus v2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jackery 5000 Plus, which Jackery pairs with its 240V 50A manual switch or its Smart Transfer Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e240V circuits such as a well pump, electric dryer, range or central air conditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic switchover: this is a manual switch, so someone flips the circuits when the grid goes down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo-it-yourself installation without a licensed electrician\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eManual transfer switch vs. extension cords only\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManual transfer switch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExtension cords only\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhat you can power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to six home circuits, including hard-wired loads\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOnly appliances you can unplug and reach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDuring an outage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnect the station, flip circuits to GEN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMove appliances and run cords room to room\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBackfeed protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach circuit is isolated from the grid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe only if nothing is ever plugged into house wiring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne-time job for a licensed electrician\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety and setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLicensed electrician installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave a licensed electrician install the switch, choose the circuits, and confirm that it suits your panel and local code.
