Benefits of ATS
There are many benefits to using a Cat ATS from Thompson Power Systems, including:
- Reliability: Guarantees that the power comes back on right away, even if there is no one on site when it goes out. ATS can also monitor your power systems and activate the generator when needed.
- Safety: When inexperienced individuals manually handle an ATS, they are at risk of injury, especially during a storm. The highly trained technicians at Thompson Power Systems will provide full installation and setup so you and your employees will not have to hand the equipment.
- Simplicity: Automatic transfer switches streamline the power supply process for your generator. During installation, several functions are set to power automatically, and you can pick which are most important, whether it’s the lighting, refrigerator, HVAC system or other equipment. With this automatic power renewal system, you won’t have to worry about generator operation when the power goes out.
