Revolutionizing the Commercial Market

GUARDIAN® has long been known as America’s #1 choice in home standby generators. Now, we’re fast becoming recognized as the company that revolutionized the commercial market. That’s because we’ve eliminated the noise, fuel and installation concerns that traditionally made commercial standby power too costly. GUARDIAN Elite™ generators are reliable and value-oriented. So much so, they often pay for themselves during the first extended outage.

At GUARDIAN, we keep your business… in business.

Guardian Elite or Commercial Generators Transfer Switches

Transfer Switches for GUARDIAN Liquid-Cooled Models

The transfer switch monitors utility power and signals the generator to start when utility power is interrupted. When utility power returns, the transfer switch returns the electrical load from the generator back to the utility. This ensures your most important electrical loads are powered, within seconds, even when you’re away.

The transfer switch is the difference between a truly automatic generator set and just another generator. No toggles to flip, no knobs to turn, no extension cords to run when you lose utility power. You will have the comfort and peace-of-mind knowing that your GUARDIAN standby generator does everything for you... automatically.

Suggested Transfer Switch
When choosing a transfer switch, you must match or exceed the generator output amperage. The following table illustrates a suggested transfer switch to use with each generator. The transfer switch to be used is based on the kW rating and voltage of the generator. All GUARDIAN transfer switches are UL 1008 Listed to meet safety and performance standards.

RTS 100-400 AMP (spec sheet)
These transfer switches are designed for a wide variety of applications that require up to 400 amps. RTS transfer switches are used with GUARDIAN generators that utilize a 3.0 liter engine or smaller. For larger generator engines, an HTS transfer switch must be used.

HTS 100-800 AMP (spec sheet)
These transfer switches are designed for simple monitoring, operation and maintenance. Common controls and LED lights are conveniently located on the front door panel. All components are front adjustable and removable for serviceability. HTS transfer switches can only be used with generators that utilize engines over 3.0 liters.

Transfer Switch

The transfer switch monitors utility power and signals the generator to start when utility power is interrupted. When utility power returns, the transfer switch returns the electrical load from the generator back to the utility. This ensures your most important electrical loads are powered, within seconds, even when you’re away. Unlike other pre-packaged systems, GUARDIAN includes an automatic transfer switch as standard equipment with all models.

This transfer switch is the difference between a truly automatic generator set and just another generator. No toggles to flip, no knobs to turn, no extension cords to run when you lose utility power. You will have the comfort and peace-of-mind knowing that your GUARDIAN standby generator does everything for you... automatically.

A two pole, 100-amp automatic transfer switch is standard equipment on models 05336T.
A two pole, 200-amp automatic transfer switch is standard equipment on models 05324T and 05259T.
A two pole, 200-amp Service Disconnect transfer switch is standard equipment on model 05261T.

These transfer switches are also available for liquid-cooled models or as an alternative to be purchased separately.
