Generac® Power Systems Introduces First CSA-Approved Transfer Switch

Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009

Generac® Power Systems, Inc., the leader in standby power generation, has introduced the first and only Canadian Standards Association (CSA)–approved service rated transfer switch line for Canadian use in residential and light commercial applications.

“As the only one of its kind, this product line was developed over several months of partnership with the CSA and illustrates Generac’s commitment to the needs of the Canadian market,” says Clement Feng, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Generac. “Generac has paved the way in providing innovative solutions throughout its history and will continue its dedication to provide quality, standby power solutions for home and business owners.”

The transfer switch allows for safely switching from utility power to emergency generator power during a power outage. When utility power returns, the transfer switch will then transfer back to utility power and command the generator to turn off. Generac designs and manufactures a complete line of automatic transfer switches to meet the requirements of any emergency standby application and building code.

Generac CSA-Approved RTS-E Transfer switches use patent-pending technology to allow for use in whole-house applications in Canada. The switches are available in 100 and 200 amp ratings for single-phase applications. The switches employ CUL-rated circuit breakers on the utility side of the transfer contactor for full downstream protection. The aluminum enclosure is rated for NEMA/UL Type 3R installation and is fully protected from the elements.

Generac has a full-line of CUL-approved standby generators currently available in Canada. To find a residential dealer in Canada, visit http://www.generac.com/Residential/DealerLocator/

Generac introduced the first gaseous-fueled automatic home standby system in 1989 and has been the leading brand ever since. For more information on Generac residential and commercial products, visit www.Generac.com or call 888-GENERAC.
