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.   Spec Sheet 

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.   Spec Sheet 

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.   Spec Sheet  

CSA Certified Service Entrance Rated Switches
Generac is proud to offer the first ever, CSA approved service rated transfer switches for Canadian use. These switches use patent pending technology to allow for use in whole house applications in Canada. The switches are available in 100 and 200 amp ratings for single phase applications. The switches employ CUL rated circuit breakers on the utility side of the transfer contactor for full downstream protection. The aluminum enclosure is rated for NEMA/UL Type 3R installation and is fully protected from the elements. Spec Sheet 

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.    Spec Sheet 

GenReadyTM Load Center
The GenReady load center is a hybrid panel that operates as a normal load center and also allows for seamless integration of standby generators. It is available in a NEMA 1 configuration for indoor installations, or in a NEMA 3R configuration for outdoor applications.   Spec Sheet
