Reliance Pro/Tran 2 306A
#16 in 30 AFull review
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.

#18 in 30 AFull review
The bare bones six circuit Pro/Tran 2. Only worth buying when it is cheaper than the 306C.
