More coverage with less generator which saves you money. Gain up to whole-house coverage through smart power management. If it is unlikely you will turn on every appliance at the same time (most people don’t), a smaller generator paired with a Generac Nexus™ load management transfer switch provides whole-house coverage through a managed power solution. The process is simple - non-essential circuits are shed when the generator approaches maximum capacity to eliminate overload, then are cycled back on when essential circuits are satisfied. Give yourself a little more than just the basics. The Nexus Smart Switch™ is the smartest transfer switch on the market. Engineered with Generac’s Digital Load Management™ (DLM ) technology. |

Cover every circuit all the time. Generac's full line of backup power solutions includes generators and transfer switches capable of covering every circuit in any size home for complete whole house protection. The RTS transfer switches offer home owners options for whole-house coverage when paired with the appropriately sized generator. Never wait for an appliance to take its turn being powered. When the power goes out, everything stays on - no matter how many circuits you have.

Although the generator creates the power, the transfer switch is really the core of your generator system. It is an electrical panel that allows you to safely connect a generator to your home's electrical circuits and is permanently installed near your main circuit breaker panel. It constantly monitors incoming utility power and determines when a true power outage is occurring, switching from utility power to emergency generator power and back again when utility power returns. Options include transfer switches that provide power to only essential circuits or every circuit for whole-house coverage, and some allow for prioritization of optional circuits or load shedding, such as heating and cooling.
By manufacturing our own transfer switches, we ensure they integrate seamlessly with our generators for the perfect system. We offer more options than any other manufacturer to ensure you can customize the exact system you need. Whether it's essential circuit coverage, load shedding or complete whole house coverage, there is a Generac transfer switch for your application.

![]() The Nexus Smart Switch™ is the smartest transfer switch on the market. Engineered with Generac’s Digital Load Management™ (DLM ) technology, it allows for more coverage with a smaller generator. This advanced load shedding technology is standard, unlike competitive models that require additional hardware and investment to add a load management option. |
|
The Nexus Smart Switch has the ability to manage two air conditioners without adding additional components or cost. Gain even more flexibility by adding up to four additional individual DLM modules for additional load management.

![]() Get more coverage from a smaller generator paired with the load shedding capabilities of the Nexus™ LTS transfer switch, the answer when more than six large loads need to be managed. |
|
The Nexus LTS is designed to allow for the most efficient use of the generator by monitoring and managing the backed up essential and non-essential circuits. If the generator approaches overload condition, the non-essential circuits are cycled off, allowing essential circuits to remain powered. It features a built-in, 16-circuit priority load center, a main contactor that protects the essential circuits and a secondary contactor that protects non-essential circuits.

Both standard RTS and service entrance rated transfer switches feature NEMA 3R enclosures for indoor or outdoor use.

COLD WEATHER ACCESSORIES

The Cold Weather Kit, applicable for all standby generators includes a battery warmer with a thermostat built into the battery wrap. When temperatures fall below an acceptable level, the thermostat activates the battery warmer maintaining optimum battery temperature for the best generator start up.
In addition to the battery wrap kits, a crankcase warmer is available. It is specifically designed to maintain optimum oil temperature for maximum starting capability in cold weather. These kits are recommended for generators installed in regions where the temperature regularly falls below 10 degrees.
