Can I load shed with a source transfer switch?

Load shedding is used to turn-off loads and typically during a power outage. Load shedding is used to reduce the load on the selected primary supply (A or B) to an STS and in the case of an uninterruptible power supply will increase the amount of battery runtime available from the UPS system. Some STS incorporate load shedding as a feature which has to be set-up and accessed via the software platform supplied with the source transfer switch device.
