AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCHES
Keep your standby or emergency power system running at peak performance by properly maintaining the Automatic transfer switches.
The most common cause of transfer switch failure is lack of regular maintenance. Preventive maintenance from Tristar can provide the care you need to ensure proper operation and greatly reduce the potential for unexpected problems.
Trained technicians are available to resolve potential problems stemming from corrosion, overheating, contact erosion and more. In addition Tristar can design, install and upgrade power transfer switches and power control systems.
