Generac 6377 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Generac 6377 transfer switch run my whole house during an outage?
No. The Generac 6377 is a single circuit, 30-amp manual transfer switch, so it powers one load only, not a panel full of branch circuits. It is sized for something like a water heater, well pump, or a small air conditioner. If you need several circuits backed up, you need a multi-circuit transfer switch or a whole-house switch instead.
2) How does the generator actually connect to the Generac 6377 switch?
Through a cord, not hard wiring. The 6377 has a built-in plug on the switch, so you run a standard grounded extension cord from the outlet on the generator to that plug when the power drops. No inlet box or separate generator receptacle is required for the generator side.
3) Can the Generac 6377 be mounted outdoors next to the meter or load center?
Yes. The enclosure is corrosion resistant aluminum rated NEMA 3R with a hinged cover, which is an outdoor rain-tight rating suitable for wall mounting next to an existing load center. The hinged cover keeps weather off the switch between uses.
4) Do I need a transfer switch, or can I just run extension cords from the generator?
A manual transfer switch like the Generac 6377 exists so the circuit is physically isolated from the utility. Installing it at the electrical panel eliminates the possibility of dangerous back feeds or electrical overloads, which cord-only or suicide-cord setups do not. It also lets you power a permanently wired load such as a well pump that has no plug to run a cord to.
5) Is the Generac 6377 UL listed for a job in Canada as well as the US?
It is UL listed for both the US and Canada, which is what an inspector or a facility spec typically wants to see on a residential or light commercial generator connection.
6) Is the Generac 6377 automatic or do I have to switch it over myself?
Manual. Someone has to be on site to start the generator, plug the cord into the switch, and throw it over. If you need the load to pick up on its own with no one present, an automatic transfer switch paired with a standby generator is the right type instead.
7) Will a 30-amp switch handle my portable generator, or is it limited by the generator outlet?
The 6377 is rated 30 amps on a single circuit, so the load it serves cannot exceed that. Because the generator side connects with a standard grounded extension cord to the built-in plug, the cord and the generator's receptacle are the practical limit on what you can draw, so match the cord to the load you are backing up.
8) What is the correct Generac part number to order for the 30-amp single circuit manual switch?
Generac model 6377. That is the manufacturer part number for the 30-amp single circuit manual transfer switch, and it is built in the United States.
