The Generac RTSN800G3 Guardian RTS 800-Amp Automatic Generator Transfer Switch connects a generator to your home's electrical circuits and is installed permanently near your main circuit breaker panel.
The transfer switch is the core of your generator system, although the generator creates the power.
This electrical panel monitors incoming utility power constantly and determines when a true power outage occurs, switching from utility power to emergency generator power and back again when utility power returns.
Compatible with the 22-150kW line of 120/208-volt, 3ø (3-phase) liquid-cooled generators, the control at the generator handles all timing, sensing, and exercising functions.
Featuring electrically operated, mechanically held contacts for fast, positive connections, this switch has a 160-millisecond transfer time.
The system also has a dual coil design, and the main contacts resist welding and sticking.
Housed in a rugged steel NEMA/UL Type 3R enclosure with electrostatically applied and baked powder paint, this UL recognized device is designed for years of service.
It has a height of 66 inches, a width of 36 inches, a depth of 21 inches, and weighs 469 pounds.
The Generac RTSN800G3 Guardian RTS 800-Amp Automatic Generator Transfer Switch is backed by a 2-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
