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.

3.3/5
The bare bones six circuit Pro/Tran 2. Only worth buying when it is cheaper than the 306C.

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.
Amazon $299.95$299.95
Westinghouse WMTS30A10C 30A Kit
#19 in 30 AFull review
A budget switch and inlet box kit for a 30 A generator. The short warranty and thin specs make the Connecticut Electric kit a safer choice.
