GE Zenith, Transfer Switches Generator, ,, , Model ZTS, ZTS-DT, ZTS-CT, ZTS-O, ZTS-DT-O & ZTS-CT-O

The transfer switch monitors utility and generator power. When utility power fails or is unsatisfactory, the control starts the generator set and transfers the load to the generator set as soon as the generator reaches speed and voltage. When utility power is restored the transfer switch automatically transfers back to utility power, shutting down the generator and instantly resetting itself for the next power interruption. No action is required by the owner.

We recommend ZTS switches when purchasing any standby or primary power generator systems. If you require less features or a lower price point then this series, See the ZTG series, See GE Zenith, ZTG & ZTGDT, Residential, Commercial & Industrial Transfer Switches. If you require a switch that will handle large motor loads or inductive loads, See GE Zenith, ZTS Industrial Automatic Transfer Switches, Service Entrance. For Residential and commercial applications, See GE Zenith, ZTX Light Duty Residential & Commercial Transfer Switches. For ZTSCT Closed Transition, ZBTS Automatic Transition Bypass, ZBTSD Delayed Transition Bypass and ZBTSCT Closed Transition Bypass, See GE Zenith, ZTSCT, ZBTS, ZBTSD & ZBTSCT, Industrial Automatic Transfer Switches. Prices and the most common accessories are online on this website for all models.
