Transfer Switches

Generac designs and manufactures a complete line of automatic transfer switches to meet the requirements of virtually any emergency standby application.

RTS Transfer Switch
RTS transfer switches are designed to operate with our R-Series Digital Controllers. Available in both single and three-phase versions, these proven, open transition transfer switches are ideal for residential, commercial and light industrial applications. Both standard RTS and service entrance rated transfer switches feature NEMA 3R enclosures for indoor or outdoor use. All standard RTS and distributed load center transfer switches are UL and CUL Listed. NEMA 1 rated.

Distributed Load Center Switch
This 100 amp transfer switch has a pre-wired, integrated load center for simple installation when only selected emergency circuits will be served by the generator. Pre-wired flexible internal conduit and seal tight external conduit provide simple connections all the way from the generator to the 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 circuit transfer switch.

Service Entrance Rated Switch
Our service entrance rated models include an integrated main breaker that eliminates the need for a separate service disconnect when backing up all of the electrical loads in a building. The switches are UL 1008 listed with a UL rated circuit breaker on the utility side of the transfer contactor for full downstream protection.

PowerManager® LTS
The PowerManager LTS is designed to allow the most efficient use of the generator by monitoring and managing the backed up essential and non-essential circuits. If the generator approaches overload condition, the non-essential circuits are cycled off, allowing essential circuits to remain powered. It features a built-in, 16-circuit priority load center, a main contactor that protects the essential circuits and a secondary contactor that protects non-essential circuits. The service entrance-rated, NEMA 3R outdoor/indoor-rated enclosure has a side-opening hinged cover and conforms to 2008 National Electrical Code sizing standards.

GenReadyTM Load Center
Generac's GenReady load center (circuit breaker box) is a hybrid panel that separates the electrical circuits of your home… those that will be backed-up by a generator, and those that will not. Installing the GenReady load center during construction makes your home ready for the installation of a standby generator, saving you thousands in equipment and labor charges compared to retrofit generator installations.

• No need for additional installation labor
• No need for extra sub-panels or a transfer switch
• Accepts up to 40 circuits with the use of tandem breakers
• About the size of a standard 42-space main load center
• Utilizes standard Siemens panel board components
• Compatible with generators rated up to 125 Amps / 30 kW
