UL Listed Manual Transfer Switches for restaurants

Depending on the size and location of your restaurant, your manual transfer switch specifications may differ. For example, you may need a specific type of NEMA enclosure to ensure your restaurant’s manual transfer switch operates safely no matter what conditions it endures.

No matter what your specifications, Salient builds UL listed manual transfer switches for restaurants. Available with fusible and non-fusible configurations, our manual transfer switches for restaurants meet all UL specifications—including those listed under UL 1008 standard.

This includes:

  • Two mechanically-interlocked molded case circuit breakers, cam-style male connectors, power distribution block, and grounding terminals hosted within a padlockable enclosure
  • A Hi-pot test for a period of at least 60 seconds
  • Meet all NEC regulations
  • A hinged flap door to cover all cable openings when cables are not connected
  • And much, much more

How Restaurants Use Manual Transfer Switches

When power goes out—whether it’s a planned outage from the utility company or caused by an emergency—your restaurant cannot keep its doors open without a manual transfer switch. A manual transfer switch can supply emergency backup power to:

  • Lights – Don’t worry about turning customers away when power isn’t out, especially when they may not be able to cook at home. Many restaurants shut down when power goes out, but with a manual transfer switch from Salient and portable generator, you can serve customers all night long!
  • Heating and cooling equipment – Your heating system and air conditioner will stay on, keeping your diners comfortable.
  • Hot water heaters – Dishwashers and cooks can continue their normal duties.
  • Refrigerators – Don’t let food spoil or thaw, costing your business hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.
  • Security systems – Your security cameras can be powered by a portable backup generator, but only if a manual transfer switch is installed!
  • Store electronics – Cash registers and point-of-sale locations will remain powered, so you can service your customers throughout the entire power outage.
  • And more
