How Does an Automatic Transfer Switch Work? A transfer switch is an electrical device that transfers the source of power being used from one power supply to another. Typically, this transfer is between the local utility and an emergency source of power, and back.

This prevents any power surges from traveling up or down to either power source from the other source.
