Service Entrance Rated Transfer Switches for Seamless Power Transition
A service entrance rated transfer switch plays a critical role in any backup power setup, especially where safety and electrical service code compliance are required at the service entrance. These switches feature a built-in disconnect device like a circuit breaker or fuse, which lets them serve as the main electrical panel disconnect. This means no separate box is needed for isolation at the site.
They help protect against power loss by quickly transferring the load to the backup generator, then returning it when utility power is restored. Designed to manage two sources of power, the switch transitions between generator and utility smoothly. These units meet National Electrical Code and national electric code requirements and are a must for commercial or industrial installation where space, efficiency, and safety are priorities.
Ideal for Critical Applications Across Multiple Markets
General Power supplies entrance rated transfer switch models that are built to meet the demands of businesses, communications centers, commercial buildings, and other critical environments. These entrance rated units simplify connection and reduce setup complexity by acting as both transfer switch and service disconnect.
They’re used across industries that rely on constant performance, like emergency services, healthcare, and industrial operations. Each rated transfer switch includes over current protection to shield systems from surges and spikes, allowing safe transitions between power sources. Because these switches combine functions, they reduce the difference in cost and labor compared to installing multiple units.
Engineered for Code Compliance and Protection
To be considered service entrance rated, the switch must include a disconnect, over current devices like breakers, and meet local and national codes. These are essential components when the switch is installed as the first point of electrical service into a building. Without this rating, a separate disconnect device would be required.
These switches comply with NEC standards and eliminate extra steps in the installation process. They're ideal when space is tight or the focus is on reducing project timelines while meeting all compliance guidelines. The enclosure is also designed to withstand harsh conditions and protect all equipment involved.
