About this product
The APC® by Schneider Electric Universal Transfer Switch (UTS) is a fully automatic transfer switch for use in optional
standby systems in homes or small businesses. This unit provides safe, convenient power for up to ten circuits in the home
or office. Power is derived from one or two independent backup sources. Backup sources being a generator, an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a solar inverter, or another alternative energy source.
When connected to home appliances, computers, or entertainment equipment the backup power sources provide power
during utility power outages. When a UPS is used in the configuration, connected equipment (load), can be protected from
utility brownouts, sags, surges, and power outages. The UPS provides continuous power from the internal battery until
utility power returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged.
