What is an Automatic Generator Transfer Switch?
An automatic generator transfer switch is a device that will provide power conversion from a major power source such as your utility company which receives it’s power from a regional power grid. These power grids will often fail due to surges, spikes, natural disasters and overloads causing black outs and brown outs. An automatic generator transfer switch is internally or externally connected to your emergency standby generator. It will automatically, without human intervention, transfer the power source from your utility company or other major power source to your generator. It will also revert the energy back to it’s original source once the electric current resumes it’s original line. The automatic transfer switch provides a safe, reliable and continuous source of electricity regardless of your location.
