Automatic Transfer Switches

Fully Automatic
All of our switches monitor utility and generator voltages and will automatically connect to the appropriate source of power.  The 100 amp and 200 amp switches are capable of "whole house" power transfer in residential and small business applications.  For whole house applications the switch amp rating must equal or exceed the utility service rating.  If feeding a sub-panel the switch must equal or exceed the sub-panel rating.

Safety Features
All switch models are solenoid-operated from utility or generator inputs and contain electrical interlock switches to eliminate the possibility of dangerous back feed to utility during an outage.  Switches are listed to UL Standard 1008.
