[RE-wrenches] generic and simple AC transfer switch

[William Miller]

Kirk:

I recently installed a Kohler RDT transfer switch that does exactly what
you specified. The RDT is an AC-Seeking ATS. There is an option to create a
contact closure upon failure of the primary AC input.

Even though the device is Kohler branded it has no proprietary connections
to the genset- it is generator agnostic.

The unit comes in several standard sizes. It can be ordered as service
equipment and with or without on-board distribution. It’s a nice piece of
kit.

I can send the manual if you’d like.
