Where do I connect the power cables on an ASCO 185 Series Transfer Switch?

Wiring and Installation of the ASCO Series 185 automatic transfer switch (ATS) must be performed by a licensed electrician.

Refer to the ATS wiring diagram.

DANGER! ELECTROCUTION HAZARD: Turn off utility power and turn off the generator to prevent electrocution when wiring the transfer switch.

  • Preferred Source/Utility Source - connect power cables to Terminals L1 & L5 of the ATS
  • Alternate Source/Emergency Source - connect power cables to Terminals L2 & L6 of the ATS
  • Load - connect power cables to Terminals L3 & L7 of the ATS
