Backup Power & Transfer

The hardware between a generator and a house that stays lit. Every link goes straight to the maker — no marketplace middlemen.

Rated for Europe: 230V single phase or 400V three phase, CE marking, and a maker you can get parts and service from without shipping across the Atlantic. The United States runs a separate list.
