Modular Automatic Transfer Switch 4P 100A – For PV systems, generators, and backup power
Modular backup automatic transfer switch 4P 100A, designed for automatic switching of power supply between main and backup sources. The device can be used in solar photovoltaic systems, generator systems, residential buildings, commercial premises, and electrical distribution boards where reliable power source switching is required between PV inverter, generator, or grid power.
Main idea:
This automatic transfer switch helps the system choose from which source electricity should be supplied – from solar inverter, generator, or city grid. When the main source becomes unsuitable or insufficient, the device automatically switches the load to the backup source, helping to maintain a more stable power supply.Current

DIN railOperating principle
The automatic transfer switch monitors the status of the main power source and switches the load to the backup source when voltage becomes unsuitable or power fails. In this way, one source can be used as the main one and the other as a backup. In solar systems, the PV inverter can be the main source, and the backup can be the grid or a generator, depending on the specific circuit.
The switch can operate in automatic mode, where source switching occurs based on voltage status, or in manual mode, where switching is performed by the user or technical personnel. The stated switching speed from solar to grid is about 8 ms, and returning from grid to solar is about 3 s, to prevent short-term system disturbances.
Why is an automatic transfer switch needed?
An automatic transfer switch reduces the need for manual switching and helps maintain a more reliable power supply when using multiple sources. This is especially relevant in solar power plants, generator systems, backup power solutions, and facilities where power outages can cause inconvenience or operational disruptions.Technical parameters

- In solar power plants and PV systems – for switching between PV inverter and grid.
- In generator systems – to manage backup power during grid failures.
- In residential buildings – when using autonomous or hybrid power supply.
- In commercial and industrial premises – when backup power and automatic source switching are required.
- In uninterruptible power solutions – where fast load switching between two sources is important.
Practical installation example
For example, the switch is mounted on a DIN rail in the distribution board. One input side is connected to the PV inverter or generator, the other to the city grid, and the output is connected to the protected load circuit. The switch monitors the status of the sources and automatically switches the load to the appropriate power source.
In this way, it can be ensured that when solar energy is insufficient or the voltage becomes unsuitable, the load is switched to the backup city grid or another intended source. Return can be delayed so that the system does not react to short-term disturbances.
Pros
- Fast switching – about 8 ms switching from solar to grid.
- Automatic and manual operation – allows for flexible control of the switching process.
- Voltage fluctuation protection – helps operate the system more safely under unstable voltage.
- Suitable for solar systems – can be used with PV inverters according to the correct scheme.
- Suitable for generator systems – can be used to organize backup power.
- 100 A rated current – suitable for larger domestic, commercial, or technical loads, if the system is matched.
- Compact DIN rail mounting – convenient for installation in distribution boards.
Cons / limitations
- Return delay to solar energy – about 3 s delay can be important for sensitive systems.
- 100 A rated current – may be insufficient for high-power industrial systems.
- Requires compatibility with inverter or generator – not all devices work properly with specific switches.
- Not a complete protection device – additional circuit breakers, surge protection, and other solutions are required.
- Installation must be performed by a professional – a correct diagram of sources, loads, and protection devices is mandatory.
Safety and installation notes
The automatic transfer switch is an electrical distribution and control component, therefore, before installation, it is necessary to assess the type of power sources, load, cable cross-sections, protection devices, grounding, inverter or generator compatibility, and the specific electrical scheme.
- Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in compliance with applicable electrical safety requirements.
- Do not exceed 100 A rated current – excessive load can damage the device or cause overheating.
- Before connection, it is necessary to check if the switch is suitable for the specific PV inverter, generator, and grid system.
- Must use appropriate protection devices – circuit breakers, surge protection, RCD/RCBO, and others are selected according to the scheme.
- Do not connect two sources without a proper scheme – incorrect connection can cause dangerous voltage to be applied to the wrong circuit.
- For sensitive loads, it is recommended to evaluate whether the switching time is sufficient and if an additional UPS solution is needed.
