7HOME STANDBY GENERATOR SYSTEMS
TRANSFER SWITCHES
• How It Works
Automatically manages the transition between the electric utility service
and generator as follows:
– Continuously monitors the connection to local utility power
– When utility power is disrupted, the transfer switch confirms that a true
power outage has occurred and signals the standby generator to start
– The system supplies backup power to the home within 30 seconds.
• Air Condition Control Module (ACCM)
As noted, some switches contain an ACCM (Air Condition Control Module),
a patented Power Management technology that supervises the power
demands of up to two central air-conditioners while safeguarding against
power overload
• Service Disconnect Option
As noted, some Transfer Switches are suitable for use as the Service
Entrance Disconnect; these switches may be optionally connected directly
after the home’s utility watt-hour meter, instead of being connected
downstream of the main panelboard
• Current Capacity Rating Options
Automatic transfer switches come in four sizes: 50A, 100A, 200A and 400A;
if the Transfer Switch will also serve as the Service Disconnect, it will need to
have a current capacity rating at least as great as the main breaker on the
main panelboard. (Note: 200A main breakers are common in many new
homes, while older homes often have 100A)
• Panelboard Option
As noted, some switches include a panelboard within the transfer switch
enclosure; in cases where the Transfer Switch will not be used as the Service
Disconnect, you may want to consider the option of choosing Transfer
Switch that includes a panelboard, since this will eliminate the need to
purchase a separate subpanel
• Outdoor Enclosure
All transfer switches include a rainproof NEMA 3R outdoor enclosure
