Model Number: 71257
Simplify standby-generator installations for homes with split 400 Amp electrical service using the Briggs & Stratton 71257 Dual 200A / Split 400A Symphony® II SED Power Management Automatic Transfer Switch.
Designed specifically for residential electrical systems where a 400 Amp utility service is divided between two 200 Amp distribution panels, the 71257 combines the functionality of two coordinated 200 Amp transfer switches into a single enclosure.
Instead of installing two separate 200 Amp automatic transfer switches, the Briggs & Stratton 71257 provides a more integrated solution for compatible split-400A applications. Its service-entrance-rated design, NEMA 3R enclosure, 120/240V single-phase configuration, UL 1008 listing, and Symphony II power-management capability make it an important component for larger residential standby-power systems.
Some larger homes have 400 Amp electrical service to accommodate higher overall electrical demand.
Instead of feeding the entire 400 Amp service through a single distribution panel, a split-400A configuration divides the incoming utility service between two 200 Amp electrical panels.
A simplified configuration looks like this:
400A Utility Service → 200A Main Panel + 200A Main Panel
A conventional standby-generator installation could require a separate 200 Amp transfer switch for each panel.
The Briggs & Stratton 71257 addresses this configuration by incorporating both transfer functions into a single enclosure.
The primary advantage of the Briggs & Stratton 71257 is its 2-in-1 design.
Rather than installing two individual 200 Amp automatic transfer switches, the 71257 combines a coordinated pair of transfer switches into one enclosure.
This can provide several advantages for compatible installations:
The exact installation configuration should be determined by a qualified electrical professional according to the property's service arrangement.
During normal operation, the home's two 200 Amp distribution panels receive electricity from the utility service.
If utility power is interrupted, the 71257 automatic transfer system detects the outage and signals the compatible Briggs & Stratton standby generator to start.
Once generator power is available, the transfer switch manages the transition of the applicable electrical system from utility power to generator power.
When normal utility service returns, the process is reversed and the electrical loads are transferred back to utility power.
This automatic operation allows a properly configured standby-power system to respond to an outage without requiring the homeowner to manually switch between power sources.
One of the most important features of the Briggs & Stratton 71257 is its Symphony® II Power Management capability.
A home with 400 Amp electrical service can potentially have far more connected electrical demand than a residential standby generator can supply simultaneously.
Power management helps address this difference.
Instead of attempting to operate every large electrical load at the same time, a properly configured Symphony II system can manage selected loads according to available generator capacity and system priorities.
This can be particularly useful for homes containing equipment such as:
The actual power-management configuration depends on the generator, connected equipment, and installation requirements.
The 400 Amp designation describes the home's utility-service configuration and transfer-switch application. It does not mean the standby generator supplies 400 amps of backup power.
Likewise, combining two 200 Amp transfer functions does not increase generator output.
The connected Briggs & Stratton generator remains limited to its rated electrical capacity.
For example, a properly configured standby system may provide generator access across both 200 Amp panels, but the combined electrical demand placed on the generator must remain within available generator capacity.
This is why power management can be particularly important in larger homes with 400 Amp electrical service.
The Briggs & Stratton 71257 is service-entrance rated with disconnect capability for compatible dual-200A residential electrical-service configurations.
This allows the transfer equipment to perform an important role within the home's service and standby-power architecture while reducing the need for separate transfer-switch equipment in compatible installations.
The actual service-entrance configuration must be determined according to the home's electrical system and applicable electrical codes.
The transfer switch is housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure, making it suitable for applicable indoor and outdoor installations.
This provides greater flexibility when determining equipment placement during the design of a standby-generator system.
Final placement should comply with Briggs & Stratton installation requirements and applicable electrical and building codes.
