Premium 200A Automatic Transfer Switch for Whole-Home Backup Systems
The Briggs & Stratton 200-amp automatic transfer switch (Model 071272) is a service entrance rated (SED) transfer switch designed for full-home standby generator systems. Built for reliability and safety, this unit automatically transfers power from utility to generator during an outage and restores utility power when it returns.
Unlike standard 200A transfer switches, this model includes integrated load management (TRCM) and is designed to handle full residential electrical service, making it ideal for whole-home backup installations.
Pair this transfer switch with a generator from our Briggs & Stratton standby generator collection for a complete home backup system.
Key Features
- 200 amp service entrance rated (SED) for whole-home electrical service
- Automatic power transfer between utility and generator
- TRCM load management system to prevent overload and prioritize circuits
- NEMA 3R steel enclosure for indoor or outdoor installation
- Compatible with Briggs & Stratton standby generators
- Designed for full-home backup systems
- 10-year limited warranty
What Makes Model 071272 Different?
This is not a basic transfer switch. Model 071272 is a higher-tier unit designed for full-service applications:
- Service Entrance Rated (SED) – allows direct integration with your main electrical service panel
- Load Management (TRCM) – helps balance electrical demand during generator operation
- Whole-Home Capability – supports larger homes and higher electrical loads
Many lower-cost transfer switches do not include these features, making this model a stronger solution for complete backup systems.
How It Works
When utility power is lost, the transfer switch automatically signals your generator to start. Once the generator reaches operating speed, the switch transfers your home’s electrical load to generator power.
When utility power returns, the switch safely transitions your home back to utility power and shuts down the generator.
