Reliance Pro/Tran 2 306CRK
#14 in 30 AFull review
The Pro/Tran 2 successor to the popular 31406CRK, with everything needed for a small backup setup. A good fit for a fridge, furnace and a few lights on a 30 A generator.

3.5/5
A small Reliance switch with meters and its own inlet for a garage or utility room install. Fine for a few essentials on a 30 A generator.

Pros
- Built in L14-30 inlet takes a generator cord directly
- Wattmeters help balance the two generator legs
- Compact cabinet for six essential circuits
- UL 1008 listed with a five year warranty
Cons
- Six circuits fill up fast once a 240 V well pump takes two
- An indoor inlet means running the cord through a door unless you add an outdoor inlet box

#15 in 30 AFull review
A push button switch for a 30 A generator that can become automatic later. Worth it if a Generac standby generator is in your future.

Reliance Pro/Tran 2 306C
#17 in 30 AFull review
The six circuit Pro/Tran 2 with meters, for someone who already has an inlet box. The 306CRK kit adds the box and cord for not much more.
