TRANSFER SWITCHES

Automatic Transfer Switches How to Select the Ideal Automatic Transfer Switch
Need help selecting a Home Generator System? Visit powernow.com for a detailed sizing guide. Once youve selected a generator, selecting an automatic transfer switch requires that you focus on three things: 1. Service Amps: Automatic transfer switches come in three common sizes: 50 amps, 100 amps and 200 amps. To determine your needs, first take a look at the main breaker on your distribution panel. If you have a 200 amp main breaker (which is common in new homes), you will need a 200 amp WHOLE HOUSE automatic transfer switch. If you have a 100 amp main breaker (which is common in older homes), you will need a 100 amp WHOLE HOUSE automatic transfer switch. A 50 amp 12 circuit switch will work with either a 100 or 200 amp service and is the best solution when you have selected a smaller generator (7-10kW). 2. Installation: Once you have selected a switch, there are basically two ways to install an automatic transfer switch: Standard Installation: The most common option is to install it inside the home next to the main distribution panel. Your electrician will also need to install a sub-panel to manage the load properly. Service Disconnect: Briggs & Stratton also offers automatic transfer switches with service entrance disconnect. These outdoor transfer switches are connected directly to your homes utility meter instead of the main circuit panel. The service disconnect option eliminates the need for the sub-panel. 3. Performance Upgrades (100, 200 amp Switches): Finally, consider optimizing your Home Generator Systems performance with patented computer controls for maximum comfort & efficiency. AC Power Control Module When the power goes out, most people think that they have to go without central air conditioning to weather the storm. Keep your cool with Briggs & Strattons patented computer-controlled transfer switches featuring the AC Power Control Module that manage up to two central air conditioners while safeguarding against power overload (Switches: 071007, 071018, 071019, 071024, 071025). The size of your generator dictates the level of comfort provided by this feature. 12kW One 4-Ton AC, 15kW Two 4-Ton ACs, 20kW Two 5-Ton ACs. Command Central Featuring patented computer-controlled technology, the Command Central upgrade is designed to expand your generators range and performance by automatically prioritizing and managing 6 additional high power demand appliances. The end result: Command Centrals advanced computer controls optimize your Home Generator System for whole house power with a smaller, less expensive generator, up to 50% less fuel consumption, 50% less sound, lower emissions, and advanced overload protection.

How It Works

Home Generator Systems feature a continuous fuel supply from either Natural Gas or Propane and are permanently connected via a transfer switch to your homes electrical system for an automatic response to power failure.
T heUTILITY Home Generator Systems computerAUTOMATIC controlled Transfer Switch continually monitors SERVICE PANEL TRANSFER SWITCH your connection to local utility power.
SERVICE PANEL TRANSFER SWITCH
W hen utility power is disrupted, the transfer switch confirms that a true power outage has occurred and signals the standby generator UTILITY AUTOMATIC to start.
T he system supplies backup power to your home within 30 seconds. When utility power is restored, the system automatically senses it, restores utility power, and resumes monitoring until the next utility failure.
