Application description
A transfer switch is a critical component of any emergency or
Load
standby power system. When power is lost from Source 1 (normal),
a transfer switch quickly and safely shifts the load circuit from

Source 1 to Source 2 (emergency). This permits critical loads
to continue running with minimal or no outage. After power
to Source 1 has been restored, the retransfer process returns Generatorgenerator
the load circuit to Source 1. Transfer switches are sometimes applied between two generator
Contactor-based transfer switches are available with different sets for prime power use (often in remote installations). In such
operational modes, including: applications, source power is periodically alternated between the
generator sets to equally share run time.
