About the Company

Regal Rexnord

Automatic transfer switches for backup power

Regal Rexnord’s Thomson Power Systems designs and manufactures critical electrical gear that sits between a building’s main power and its backup source. Its core products are automatic transfer switches (ATS) and switchgear, which monitor for power interruptions and seamlessly switch to a backup generator to keep important facilities—like hospitals and data centers—online. The system works with microprocessor-based controls to monitor power conditions and execute transfers quickly and safely, ensuring minimal downtime during outages. The company differentiates itself through a long, focused history in power-control engineering, a niche specialization in backup power for critical infrastructure, and its integration into the Regal Rexnord portfolio, which provides broader industrial component resources and support. The goal is to give reliable, automatic backup power so essential operations stay powered when the main grid falters.
