Design and Construction Features

  • Close differential 3 phase under-voltage sensing of the normal source - factory standard setting 90% pickup, 80% dropout (adjustable);under frequency sensing of the normal source factory setting 95% pickup (adjustable)
  • Voltage and frequency sensing of the emergency source - factory standard setting 90% pickup voltage, 95% pickup frequency (adjustable)
  • Test switch (fast test/load/no load) to simulate normal source failure - automatically bypassed should the emergency source fail
  • Type 1 enclosure is standard - also available in open style or Types 3R, 4, 4X, or 12

Standard Equipment:

Optional Equipment:

    Options
    • Service entrance configuration
    • Auxiliary Contacts: Closed when the transfer switch is in Source 1 position
    • Elevator Pre-Signal Auxiliary Contacts: Open 0-60 seconds prior to transfer to either direction, re-closes after transfer
    • Space heater and thermostat
    • Auxiliary Contact, operates on Source 1 line failure
    • Note:For applications requiring additional options or other configurations, see the CTS Series fully configurable transfer switch.
    • Auxiliary Contact, operates on Source 2 availability
    • Plant Exerciser, clock type (load/no load): Allows the generator to start and run unloaded or to simulate a power failure, start generator and run under load (7-14-28-365 days, user selectable)
    • Network communications interface card (LonWorks / ModBus)
    • Universal Motor Load Disconnect Circuit: Auxiliary Contact opens 0-60 seconds prior to transfer in either direction, re-closes after transfer. Can be configured by end user for Pre-transfer, Post-transfer, or both.
    • Auxiliary Contacts: Closed when the transfer switch is in Source 2 position
    • Power Measurement Meters
    • Maintained Test Switch
    • Disconnect Switch: Permits transfer in “AUTO” position and inhibits transfer in “INHIBIT” position. (Standard 800A and above)
    • Lockable, see-through cover for ATS controller
    • Voltage Imbalance Monitor (Three Phase)
    • Maintained Test Switch w/Keypad
