Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)
An Automatic Transfer Switch keeps your power reliable when the unexpected happens. When the mains supply drops, the ATS signals your generator to start and shifts the load across with minor interruptions. Once the grid returns, it transfers power back and shuts the generator down. This setup protects equipment, reduces downtime and keeps operations consistent across Cairns and surrounds.
KAC Generation sets up ATS systems as part of wider generator solutions, making sure your changeover process stays smooth and dependable. If you need reliable ATS integration for your site, reach out to arrange a tailored solution.

FAQ
What are the most common signs a generator needs repair?
Common signs include difficulty starting, reduced power output, inconsistent performance or visible leaks. You might also notice excessive noise, fuel consumption or warning lights.
If you're in Cairns and rely on diesel power systems, it's best to have a technician assess these signs early to prevent larger failures. Prompt generator repairs help avoid extended downtime and damage to connected systems.
How often should I service a generator?
Most generators should be serviced every 6 to 12 months, or after a specific number of running hours depending on the manufacturer. Regular servicing helps prevent unexpected faults and ensures compliance with warranty conditions.
In regions like Cairns, where generators often operate in humid or coastal conditions, more frequent maintenance can be necessary to protect internal components and performance.
Can generator repairs be done onsite, or do units need removal?
In most cases, generator repairs can be done onsite unless major internal damage or complete overhauls are needed. Technicians can typically diagnose and replace components where the unit is installed.
On-site service is particularly important in places like Cairns, where transport delays can increase downtime. Mobile servicing ensures your operation is restored quickly without unnecessary disruption.
What is the benefit of using an Automatic Transfer Switch with a generator system?
An Automatic Transfer Switch provides continuous power by shifting the load from the mains to the generator the moment an outage occurs. This protects equipment, maintains workflow and prevents costly downtime in locations where supply can be unpredictable, such as remote sites across Cairns.
An ATS also removes the need for manual switching, which helps keep operations steady during unexpected power loss.
Can an ATS work with different types of generators?
An Automatic Transfer Switch is compatible with most generator types as long as the system is sized and configured correctly. The ATS monitors the mains supply, signals the generator to start and transfers the load once the generator reaches the required output.
This setup is used widely across industrial locations, including areas such as Cairns, because it provides smooth and dependable changeover during power interruptions.
