1. A backup-memory apparatus for a transfer-switch controller, the apparatus comprising:

  • a memory configured to store transfer-switch data related to a first transfer-switch controller, wherein the first transfer switch-controller comprises a controller for a given transfer switch, and wherein the transfer-switch data includes data related to historical performance of the given transfer switch and data related to an in-phase monitor for monitoring a phase of a starting motor for the given transfer switch;

    the apparatus capable of interfacing with a communication interface of the first transfer-switch controller;

    the apparatus further capable of being disconnected from the communication interface of the first transfer-switch controller and thereafter interfacing with a communication interface of a second transfer-switch controller, andthe memory further configured to, after the apparatus interfaces with the communication interface of the second transfer-switch controller, provide at least a portion of the transfer-switch data related to the first transfer-switch controller to the second transfer-switch controller for use by the second transfer-switch controller for startup of the starting motor in-phase.
