Can I use a generator whose wattage exceeds the wattage on the Reliance Pro/Tran® transfer switch?
This is acceptable for peak wattage but not recommended for running wattage. Pulling more than the rated wattage through the Reliance Pro/Tran® transfer switch could burn out the neutral wire, overheat the main wiring in the transfer switch and cause a fire. To insure proper safety precautions, a suitable double pole breaker should be installed between the generator and the transfer switch when the running wattage of the generator exceeds the rating of the transfer switch. See the Power Inlet Box with Built-in Circuit Protection in the T/Power accessories section.
