Generator starts after an outage but does not transfer power

Home standby generator systems with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) should automatically transfer power to the generator when an outage is detected. 

The ATS requires two things to transfer power automatically: Voltage available from the generator and voltage on the transfer circuit (194/23 wires).

If power transfer to the generator does not occur after an outage, reference this article with comprehensive guidance on resolving power transfer issues: Troubleshooting Automatic transfer switch issues
