Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

An automatic transfer switch continuously monitors utility power. When the utility power failures the transfer
switch will signal the generator to start. Once the generator has reached operating speeds with correct frequency
and voltage levels the transfer switch will disconnect the utility source and connect the generator. The design of
the auto transfer switch contacts makes it impossible for both sources to be connected simultaneously. The
building utilizes the generator power to keep critical circuits running like AC, sump pumps, fire pumps, computer
systems and other critical circuits.
After the utility power is restored the automatic transfer switch returns the load to the grid. A generator cool
down timer is then initiated. After the cool down period the generator automatically shuts down. The transfer
switch goes back into monitory mode and stands ready for the next power outage. The automatic transfer switch
also regularly runs test cycles to make sure your standby generator is ready when you need it.
