Questions & Answers
22Questions28Answers
Want to feed with 50 amp 240 volt and switch between two loads. Will this work?
Asked by Brabey September 9, 20185
AnswersDepends on the load. It might be problematic for an electric vehicle charging station, for instance, because that requires a dedicated circuit. And both loads must specify the same breaker size. Both problems could be solved by using a small subpanel, optionally with a gen interlock. Cheaper that way too.
does this switch 2 appliances
Asked by Craig December 22, 20154
AnswersProbably not but ask your local inspector. Car chargers require a dedicated circuit. Instead use a subpanel here to switch between loads. 2 breakers, add a "generator interlock" between them if you don't want to upgrade your feed, so only one breaker can be on. Square D QO has a $25 interlock (QO2DTI). It'll be cheaper, too.
Does this switch include switch box include a ground strip, so that the neutral and chassis ground can pass through this box?
Asked by 3394frankl April 8, 20163
AnswersIt is a 3-pole switch. You MUST switch neutral when dealing with 30A-scale portable type generators. The generator's GFCI will force this anyway. Ground must bypass the switch and be always connected. Do Not connect neutral to ground here.
What are dimensions?

Asked by StevenB April 12, 20183
AnswersI have my doubts. But why bother? You can do it Code legal for sure with a subpanel for 1/3 the price. Get a QO 6-8 space panel so you can slap on a $25 QO2DTI interlock if the inspector complains. Siemens/Murray panels also have a cheap interlock.

Asked by Kemp December 30, 20202
AnswersAs long as you do not exceed 30amps at 240volts it should work fine. I use mine to switch between the power from my utility company and my generator.
Does this have 2 lines in and 1 load out? The picture shows top and bottom designated as line but it doesnt show a load
Asked by Tony July 5, 20162
AnswersYes, there are two lines in and one load out. the load out connections are located halfway between the load in connections, basically right under the switch bar.
Is this a 3 pole switch it looks like it is but I just can't see all
Asked by 1234 March 8, 20162
AnswersYes it is 3 phase.
Using 10-3 wire, does neural go in lug, or bypass
Asked by Tom February 14, 20192
AnswersDoesn't hurt to switch neutral, and it's often required. For generators, it's required.
Can this switch work for an air conditioner, generator and electric?
Asked by Cam June 16, 20172
AnswersI use it to separate 2 generators.

The transfer switch worked great in the ice cream truck I was wiring, the only complaint was the studs that hold the lugs on are too small and you have to be careful to not strip them out. I used the three pole switches to separate the neutral wires on the cords when plugged in to utility when not on generator power.

I don’t normally buy GE products. Marginal quality and makes a bit of noise when power is activated to the box. (Power surge)
Well built; exactly what I needed
March 19, 2016
This switch appears well built and exactly what I needed for my small home project of setting up the electric water heater so it could draw power either from the street or from the whole-house generator, but not both at the same time. I can only assume that the other brands sold by the electrical supply houses that cost three times as much (or more), are more wonderful, but this switch does the job for me.

January 9, 2021
I purchased for use on my well pump, to be able to switch between the power supplied by my utility company and my generator. Being a simple mechanical switch it’s a full proof and easy to use. Up is for my generator, the middle turns both sources of power off and down supplies power from my utility company. You can place a pad lock on the control lever in any of the three positions to prevent tampering.

December 23, 2020
Do not purchase this switch if you have other options. The terminal design is a fixed stud, with a pressure plate, and a slotted nut. The stud is not long enough to grab the nut with your #10 wire under the pressure plate (keep in mind it is rated up to #8). I had to forego the manufacturers setup for ring terminals and 10-24 locknuts. My wiring method was solid wires, so I had to wirenut on stranded jumpers to meet the listing of the ring terminals. The result was a messy look. DO NOT USE THIS GE JUNK! You have been warned.
