Want an easier way to get power from your generator than an extension cord? With the help of the 400 amp Nexus Automatic Transfer Switch from Generac, you will be able to direct power to the necessary circuits with a flip of a switch. The RTS400A3 is part of the RTS line, the only CSA approved service rated line available. If your home or commercial building doesn't have a garage or basement, you'll be glad to know this switch has a weather-resistant aluminum enclosure, allowing it to be mounted outside. The switch is made with Digital Load Management (DLM) technology, allowing greater coverage with a smaller generator. The withstand rating is a sky-high 22,000 amps. Additional DLM modules can be added if 4 or more loads need to be managed. Generac has been making excellent generators (and their necessary components) for over 50 years.
