Pre-Wired Installation Components
This transfer switch kit includes everything needed for professional installation: 10-foot 12AWG power cord, labeled wire harness, conduit and cable clamps. The pre-wired design reduces installation time and labor costs compared to custom subpanels. An illuminated rocker switch with green "G" indicator clearly displays generator feed status.
Circuit Configuration and Load Capacity
The 6-circuit design handles critical loads including refrigerators, furnaces, water pumps, and lighting circuits. The first two positions support 240V double-pole configuration for heavy appliances like dryers and ranges. Industrial-grade breakers in a durable metal enclosure ensure reliable operation during extended outages.
Safety and Code Compliance
Manual transfer design isolates utility and generator sources, eliminating backfeed hazards. The switch meets NEC requirements when installed by a licensed electrician. Clear source indication reduces operational errors during power transfers. This professional-grade kit provides a code-compliant alternative to dangerous direct connections.
Installation Requirements
Professional installation by a licensed electrician is required to meet local electrical codes and safely integrate the transfer kit with your existing load center. Installation documentation is available through authorized dealers. Nature's Generator provides warranty coverage and technical support.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need an electrician? Yes — installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to comply with NEC/local codes.
- Will it run my whole house? This 6-circuit, 30A kit is designed for selected critical loads (refrigerator, furnace, outlets, water pump). For whole-house backup, a larger automatic transfer system is recommended.
- Is the switch automatic? No — this is a manual transfer switch that prevents backfeed and allows controlled, manual source changes for safe operation.
