FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A transfer switch redirects power from the local utility grid to your backup generator during an outage. It also isolates the generator from utility lines, helping prevent dangerous backfeed that could put linemen at risk. Because it is a critical safety component, a properly wired transfer switch is required in the U.S. when connecting a backup generator to your electrical system.

A manual transfer switch requires you to connect and activate your generator yourself. If utility power goes out, your electricity will shut off until you start the generator and connect it to the switch. Once connected, you manually flip the switch to transfer your home’s power source from the utility grid to the generator. When utility power is restored, you manually switch back to grid power and shut down the generator.

With an automatic transfer switch, the changeover happens on its own. If utility power fails, the switch detects the outage and signals the generator to start and supply power. When grid power is restored, the switch transfers your system back to utility power, disconnects the generator, and shuts it down automatically.

A manual transfer switch is typically smaller and more affordable to purchase and install, and ongoing maintenance can also cost less. However, switching between power sources requires more hands on effort because you must start the generator and transfer power manually.

If you live in an area with frequent outages, you may prefer the convenience of an automatic transfer switch. Many businesses also rely on automatic switches for a seamless transition, especially facilities like hospitals or data centers where even a short loss of power can create serious risks. In those situations, the added cost and installation effort are often worth it for immediate, reliable backup power.
