Transfer Switches
The ASCO Transfer Switch makes backup power possible. A Transfer Switch enhances power availability by transferring electrical loads to alternate sources of power.
The ASCO Transfer Switch is available in three options:
- Manual transfer switch is the simplest type, manual transfer switches require a person to operate a mechanical switching mechanism.
- Non-automatic transfer switch is operator initiated, local or remote electrical controls to transfer loads on command.
- Automatic transfer switch requires no human interaction to switch loads to emergency power and back again whenever outages occur.
A Service Entrance Power Transfer Switch combines automatic power switching with the disconnecting, grounding, and bonding required for use as service entrance equipment.
Bypass-isolation allows the primary automatic transfer switch to be inspected, tested, and maintained without interrupting power to the load.
A Power Transfer Switch provides a high-speed transfer of loads between alternate sources of power, regardless of amperage. Power Transfer Switches are most advanced method of transferring all types of loads, such as motors, electronic drives, UPS's and microprocessor-based systems.
