Residential power interruptions have grown increasingly costly and more damaging as more people work, entertain, and receive health care at home. Additionally, homeowners are less willing to endure the inconvenience or expense of an outage one that can be easily avoided at a reasonable cost. When your normal power source has been interrupted, a highly reliable automatic transfer switch will start your emergency generator and connect the standby power to circuits in your home. When normal power is restored, the process is reversed - automatically.

With our peaking switches, facility managers can avoid potential demand rate surcharges during peak power usage. They can also take advantage of utility sponsored curtailment programs by paralleling with the utility source and peak shaving to allow the generator set to handle all, or a portion, of the facilitys load. Peaking switches are designed as a retrofit solution to work in tandem with existing transfer switch installations to provide full time capable load sharing systems.

When the entire load of an installation requires standby emergency power for complete protection against commercial power interruption, it becomes necessary to have the ATS as close to the point of service entrance as possible. With our Service Equipment Rated Transfer Switches, installation can be made directly at the point of service entrancewhile simultaneously eliminating the need for separate upstream disconnect devices and their respective power interconnections.
