The transfer switches, available in contactor type, are double-throw and interlocked with an over-center design to ensure safe, positive transfer between power sources. The modular design with removable back, top and bottom plates makes installation and mounting easy, and it can be completed by one person, saving time and money. It also makes replacing a part or sub-system quick and simple.

The TX Series switches are voltage agnostic (excluding the 40 V Delta and 600 V applications). This capability means that a switch can operate on any voltage as is required at the site and can be easily configured in the field. Additionally, this means that Generac and dealers can easily stock these switches to be used in any project irrespective of the voltage. The switches are UL 1008 certified through ETL and meet all relevant NEC codes. The series of switches all have high withstand and closing ratings (WCR) with an optional three-cycle rating available. The common sizes of 200 amp and 400 amp have WCR of 42 kA and 65 kA respectively. Service entrance models are 100% rated to carry full rated current.

A USB port access point makes for easy data retrieval and onsite firmware updates. Built-in battery backup increases switch reliability and reduce switch transition time to an alternate source, with the battery backup able to provide power to the controller for up to 60 minutes in the event of no source availability. NEMA 1 or NEMA 3R enclosures are available for these units.
