Generator Transfer Switches
HMC Generators offers transfer switches for home backup generators. In a house equipped with a backup generator and an automatic transfer switch (ATS), the ATS will tell the backup generator to start when an electric utility outage occurs. When the generator is ready to provide electric power, the ATS breaks the property's connection to the electric utility and connects the generator to the main electrical panel instead.
Once the utility company restores electricity, the generator will monitor power for 30 seconds and then transfer control back to the utility. The cooling-down process will begin afterward. This simple operation is vital for homeowners using a standby generator who need power restored quickly for electric-powered medical equipment or the ability to continue running a home business.
More importantly, transfer switches also serve as safety mechanisms. They prevent back-feeding electricity to the grid, which can start fires and harm utility workers attempting to restore power.

Generator Transfer Switches for All
The Generac products available at HMC Generators cover every circuit for whole-house protection. When the compatible switch is paired with a generator of the correct size, every appliance, light, and device will always maintain power. The Smart Switch in particular allows a small generator to cover more areas than usual.
