INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RELIANCE Panel/Link
®
- TR Series
THE RELIANCE Panel/Link
®
IS NOT FOR "DO-IT-YOURSELF" INSTALLATION. It must be
installed by a qualified electrician thoroughly familiar with all applicable electrical and
building codes.
The Reliance Panel/Link
®
is designed to provide, in the event of a utility power outage, a safe and
simple method of powering designated branch circuits from a portable generator. The unique
mechanical interlock between the “GENERATOR SUPPLY” and “UTILITY SUPPLY” circuit
breakers, which supply power to the panel bus, prevents feedback by prohibiting these breakers
from being in the "ON" position at the same time.
Generally, a small portable generator will not have sufficient capacity to power a large number of
circuits at the same time. The Reliance Panel/Link
®
allows you to power selectively any number or
combination of branch circuits wired into the panel, up to the capacity of the generator.
INSTALLING THE PANEL/LINK
®
WARNING: Be sure the power from both the main panel and the generator is turned
off before starting this procedure. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
death.
1. Mount the transfer panel next to the main load center (circuit breaker or fuse box).
2. Install a large diameter nipple (2 inch trade size recommended) between the two panels. If the
main load center does not have sub-feed lugs, install a double pole circuit breaker that is the
same ampacity as the Utility Supply breaker in the transfer panel
3. Run the proper ampacity wires between the breaker or sub-feed lugs in the main panel and the
Utility Supply breaker in the transfer panel.
4. Run an insulated neutral wire between the neutral bars in both panels. The neutral wire must be
the same ampacity as the wires in 3 above.
5. If a non-metallic nipple was used in step 1 or if required by local codes, run a ground wire
between the two panels.
6. Select the circuits to be powered by the generator. Determine if the branch circuit breakers for
the selected circuits can be moved from the main panel into the transfer panel. Reliance
transfer panels are UL listed for a number of interchangeable breakers (see label on the inside
cover of the transfer panel). If the main panel has this type of breaker, relocate the selected
branch circuit breakers to the transfer panel. If the breakers cannot be moved, other breakers of
the same ampacity must be installed in the transfer panel. Wire as described in Step 7. Be
sure the openings created by removing the breakers from the main panel are fitted with
appropriate covers.
7. If the branch circuit conductor is long enough, you may want to pull it form the main panel and
reinstall it in the transfer panel. If not possible or desirable, wire-nut an extension to the branch
conductor in the main panel and run it through the 2 inch nipple to the transfer panel. Connect
to the appropriate branch circuit breaker. Repeat for each of the selected circuits. The branch
conductors must be connected to the same ampacity breakers as in the main panel.
8. For transfer panel models without the optional power inlet or watt meters, connect the two hot
feeds from the generator directly to the Generator Supply breaker in the transfer panel. Go to
Step 10.
9. For transfer panel models with the optional watt meters and no power inlet, thread one of the
two hot wires coming from the generator through the center of the left meter's current
transformer (small doughnut-shaped object connected to the meter) and connect it the top lug
of the generator breaker. Thread the other hot wire coming from the generator through the right
meter's current transformer and connect it the bottom lug of the generator breaker. The meters
