Generac 6854 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Generac 6854 transfer switch work with a generator that has GFCI outlets?
Yes. The 6854 HomeLink kit is built to run off generators equipped with GFCI outlets, so you don't need a switched neutral accessory kit to make it work. That's the detail that trips people up with older manual transfer switches on newer GFCI-equipped portable units.
2) How many circuits can I back up with the Generac 6854 manual transfer switch?
Eight circuits out of the box, expandable to ten. It takes standard, tandem, GFCI, and arc fault breakers, so you can mix in whatever the panel schedule calls for on the circuits you're transferring.
3) Can I run my furnace and well pump off this Generac 30 amp transfer switch?
That's exactly what it's for. The 6854 transfers hard-wired loads, furnace, well pump, lighting circuits, the things you can't reach with an extension cord from the generator. It's a 30 amp kit, so size the selected circuits to stay inside 30 amps at the generator.
4) If I add a standby generator later, do I have to replace this switch?
No. The 6854 is the upgradeable HomeLink version, meaning it can be converted later to an automatic home standby transfer switch. If a portable generator is the interim plan and a standby unit is the eventual one, this is the kit that doesn't get thrown away.
5) Is the Generac 6854 switch mounted indoors or outdoors?
The switch itself is an indoor unit, and it ships with an aluminum power inlet box that mounts outside for the generator cord connection. So plan on the transfer switch next to the load center inside and a wall penetration out to the inlet box.
6) Does a manual transfer switch like this stop back-feeding into the utility line?
Yes, and that's the whole point of the hardware. The 6854 mechanically prevents the generator from back-feeding onto the utility service, which is what protects line crews working the outage. Back-feeding through a dryer outlet or a suicide cord does not.
7) How much wiring does an electrician have to do to install the Generac 6854?
The kit comes pre-wired, so the circuits land on the transfer switch rather than being built up from loose conductors on site. The installer still ties it into the load center, runs the feed to the exterior inlet box, and moves the selected branch circuits over.
8) How do I know whether the house is on utility or generator power with this switch?
There are power source indicator lights on the 6854 that show which source is live, utility or generator. Useful for a property manager or a tenant who needs to confirm the switch got moved back after the utility returns.
9) What does the Generac 6854 transfer switch kit weigh for handling and mounting?
27.5 lbs assembled. That's a one-person lift, but it's heavy enough that the switch enclosure wants to be fastened to framing or blocking rather than drywall anchors alone. Unit is made in the United States.
10) Is the Generac 6854 the right part number to order, and is it restricted from shipping anywhere?
Generac manufacturer part number 6854 is the HomeLink upgradeable 30 amp manual transfer switch kit with the aluminum power inlet box. There are no shipping restrictions on it.
