MILWAUKEE, June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton Corporation's Service Entrance Rated Transfer Switch is
now available in Canada, offering
homeowners a cost-effective and reliable power transfer solution
for their standby generator system. The Service Entrance Rated
Transfer Switch1 seamlessly and automatically moves a
home's power from utility power to backup power in the event of an
outage. The new transfer switch is now Canadian electric code
compliant.
"The transfer switch is easier to install and requires fewer
materials, making for a more efficient solution," said Chris McGregor, president – Sommers Motor
Generator Sales. "Plus, it continues to give homeowners the ability
to customize their backup power priorities while being cost
effective."
The Service Entrance Rated Transfer Switch comes equipped with
Symphony® II Power Management. With the Symphony II
Power Management system, homeowners can select up to eight
high-wattage appliances based on the home's specific power
needs.
"The Symphony II Power Management system is a smart way to
direct power to a home," said Brian
Northway, product manager for Briggs & Stratton standby
power. "Rather than purchasing a larger generator, Symphony II
manages the distribution of power from the generator to the
necessary appliances. This load management ensures the generator
won't overload and lets a family power more of their home with a
more affordable generator."
The Service Entrance Rated Transfer Switch is backed by a
five-year, parts, labor and travel limited
warranty2.
"Briggs & Stratton engineers have knocked it out of the park
with this product and truly set themselves apart as an innovator
and leader in the home standby market," said McGregor.
