Electric Transfer Switch Model #306LRK $135 each (Lowes charges $299 and out of stock)
I have a couple of Reliance ProTran-2 Model 306LRK 6-Circuit 30A 8000W Transfer Switch Backup Power
These are used to switch power between a household circuit between 2 different power source (Helco, Generator, Solar, etc). It could also be used as a circuit breaker box for 6 different circuits. The units come with circuit breakers already but are standard breakers (Lowes, Home Depot, etc) which you can swap out if you wish for different values.
Typical scenarios:
1) You have some kitchen appliances that are normally on Helco. The power fails and you want to run them off your generator. Just start the generator and throw the appropriate switch(s) in this unit.
2) Perhaps you have solar and Helco. Your batteries are running low, you can throw a switch or switches and run those circuits off Helco until you charge your batteries.
3) Perhaps you have solar and a generator. If solar runs low you can switch any or all circuits between solar or generator if you want.
Description.
It is a pretty simple setup.
FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS: * Complete 6-circuit kit, pre-wired and UL-listed for easy installation. * Supports generators up to 8000 watts. * Rated for 120/240 V AC, 30 A max, with both 20 A and 30 A transfer capability. * Works with standard portable generators — safely powers up to 6 household circuits. * Includes factory-wired transfer switch, power inlet box, and generator cord. * Made in the USA by Reliance Controls, a trusted name in backup-power systems. * Factory-sealed new.

That power inlet box sells for about $60 to $80 itself and it and the wire are included.
I am in Captain Cook, but can meet you within a reasonable distance (like in town, etc)
