Yes. The Reliance Panel/Link X Series is specifically designed for use with these generators. The Honda EB5000i and EB7000i models have a neutral bond that cannot and should not be removed, and therefore cannot be used for backup power applications. These generators were designed and intended for use on jobsites to meet OSHA requirements. While you cannot use these newer Honda EB i-Pro series models with a conventional 2-pole transfer switch, you may use them with one of our X Series 3-pole sequential transfer panels.
