When utility power is interrupted, the transfer switch signals your generator to start, monitors the generator's readiness, and automatically transfers the load once stable power is available. When utility power returns, the switch seamlessly transfers back and signals the generator to shut down after a cool-down period.
Professional Installation Required
This service-rated transfer switch must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and NEC requirements. Professional installation ensures safe, code-compliant operation and proper integration with your Generac standby generator system.
