Ge interlock kit
Wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a ge interlock kit that would work on a ge 100 amp panel model tm3210ccu gold powermark. I see that lowes and home depot have one but they have different panels they are Model # THQLLX1 and ThQLLX4?
Thanks for any help or suggestions..

I'm sure one of the pros can tell you off the top of their heads...
But I'd also recommend you at least look into one of these:
Generator InterLock Kit
I just installed one and it was a piece of cake! Of course, if given the option, the OEM model is probably your best bet.

The tm3210ccu 100 amp GE panel will not work with the one's sold at lowes and home depot They are made for 150 or 200 amp service with main being 4 pole breakers . Therefore the one they sell comes short and will not catch one of the breakers on 2 & 4. The tm32 is only 2 pole breakers and thats why the spaceing won't work..

some question about this I talked to a ge tech and he said it wouldn't work, but another said he thought it would will I just got one had order myself for my ge box tm3210ccu opened the package and found that it would work at least Im pretty sure it would took all mesurment and then held it up. So now I think I must recant my old post and say it looks like it will work.. If you move it just a slight down or up it will catch about 1/4 inch instead of 3/8s and still will prevent you from turning the dedicated 230 or what ever size you use on with the main off. so for 39 bucks it's worth a shot. I am assuming when you throw the main it work the same and prevent you from turning it on If you look at the configuration if it works one way should work the other.. and also instead putting a double throw in slots 2&4 goind to use the ge mini 30 amp double throw.. sorry if I'm confusing but it really should work alot cheaper then interlock,com 149 bucks for theres
