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 equipment monitors your power systems continuously and activates the generator automatically when needed. Regular ATS servicing ensures this reliability year after year.
- Safety: Proper automatic transfer switch repair and installation by certified professionals eliminates safety risks. The highly trained technicians at Thompson Power Systems provide complete installation, ATS repair, and ATS servicing so your staff never needs to handle high-voltage equipment in an emergency.
- 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 Cat ATS automation, you won’t have to worry about generator operation when power fails.
