How Automatic Transfer Switch Works. Product description our amfats panels are designed to automatically changeover from mains electricity supply to stand by generators on failure of the mains supply. This is only helpful if your generator is capable of turning on automatically when the power goes off.
When the transfer switch detects a power outage it switches your home to generator power. The principal purpose of an ats is to ensure the continuous delivery of electrical power from one of two power sources to a connected load circuit electrical equipment lights motors computers etc. During a test or an actual power failure there is a time delay before the ats sends a signal to your generator starting it.

An ats is a device that acts as a brain between utility and secondary power. An automatic transfer switch provides an automated way of switching the power source from the main source to generator supply. Nonetheless most permanent home generators are built to do this. Automatic switches can sense whether there has been an interruption in power supply and switch to generator power mode in under a second.
