Transtar Products Introduces Generator Self-Test Verifier
Daniel Bollin, President of Transtar Products, recently announced the introduction of a new, UL approved, patent pending product designed to evaluate and report the results of the regular exercise process undergone by backup electrical generators.
The new device, dubbed the “GSV”, for Generator Self-Test Verifier, verifies that the generator has started, that the generated voltage is within a +/- 10% tolerance window, and has continued to operate for a minimum of two minutes.
The GSV is able to report a failed test by sounding an audible alarm and closing a set of contacts or by directly reporting to a central monitoring agency via telephone line or wireless connection when used with an optional reporting module. Additionally, the installing contractor can realize monthly recurring revenue by offering the reporting function to customers.
The device is able to monitor all possible voltages and phase configurations. It is mounted to the transfer switch, requiring 120VAC power.

The RGPC PowerBridge™
Richard Gray’s Power Company, LLC (RGPC) announces the RGPC PowerBridge ™. Designed and manufactured in the U.S. exclusively for the custom integration market, the PowerBridge responds within 1-millisecond of a power failure to provide a sine wave output with the benefits of RGPC patented parallel, non-current limiting, and dual stage surge protection technology.
The PowerBridge was built from the ground up exclusively for the custom install market. Unique to the PowerBridge is IntelliGray ™ technology – the ability to actually "learn" the AC line and store that data in memory to use as a reference for determining if and when to switch to battery power.
RGPC applied their same parallel technology found in their other products to the PowerBridge so that no electronic components are in the AC path rendering the UPS “invisible” to the components connected to it and also imparting no adverse sonic “signature” of its own. While in “stand-by” mode the PowerBridge functions exactly as an RGPC 600S providing clean, unrestricted parallel power via its six Hubbell outlets. Performance is also enhanced by a sine wave output that is synchronous with the AC line when switching to and from battery power.
