Product Overview
30 AMP ASCO Transfer Switch, 3 Pole NEMA3R 208VASCO ATS Series 300 3ATSA30030CG0FCommercial enterprises don't always have an employee immediately on hand to switch power loads from the grid to a generator in the event of a power outage. In the time it takes for someone to learn of the outage, arrive at a facility and transfer power, essential equipment could experience critical failures. This is especially true for facilities that maintain cooled or heated units or automatic machinery or computer equipment. An Automatic Transfer Switch reduces the requirement to transfer power loads manually in a number of situations.What is an Automatic Transfer Switch?An Automatic Transfer Switch is a switch that toggles the power load for machinery or a facility between a traditional power grid and generator backup. While all generator set-ups come with some sort of switch, an automatic transfer is programmed with logical controls and monitors that sense an interruption in power. The automatic switch first causes generator engines to power up; once generators are up to speed, the switch transfers appropriate electrical loads to generator power.How does the ASCO NEMA3R 208V Automatic Transfer Switch operate?The ASCO NEMA3R 208V Series 300 generator switch features a Group G controller that includes enhanced monitoring and switching capabilities. In almost any environment, the switch recognizes a power outage or an abnormal power situation. The switch powers up appropriate generators, waiting for required voltage levels to be reached before transferring machines or facilities to back up power. When grid power is properly restored, the switch returns machines and facilities to traditional power sources. Generators are automatically powered down after an appropriate time lapse.Features of the ASCO NEMA3R 208V Automatic Transfer Switchβ’ Compliant with Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements.β’ Meets codes 700, 701 and 702 of the National Electric Code.β’ Meets NFPA 110 standard
