Briggs & Stratton has introduced a dual 200-amp automatic transfer switch (ATS) to comply with NEC 2023 standards, which require separate compartments for breakers. Briggs & Stratton claims this new model, 071257, is the only ATS of its kind that’s currently available on the market.
As of February of this year, 17 states have adopted NEC 2023 while NEC 2020 is in effect in 21 states. The updated dual 200-A ATS allows the switch to handle two different amperage ratings, providing optimal power management for diverse appliance loads. It has separate compartments with dividers and independent deadfronts and a new TRCM+ control board that replaces the ACCM control board.
In addition, the dual 200-A ATS has redesigned wiring, including updated wire harnesses, transfer wires and routing, to reduce time and labor costs. Symphony Choice power management is included, allowing customers to prioritize up to eight high-wattage appliances, like air conditioning units, electric stoves and dryers.
