Standard Operational Features, Controls and Status Indicators
Standard Selectable Features
  • Inphase monitor to transfer motor loads, without any intentional off time to prevent motor inrush currents from exceeding normal starting levels.
  • Engine exerciser to automatically test backup generator each week. Includes control switch for testing with or without load.
  • Selective load disconnect, double-throw contact to operate at an adjustable 0 to 20 second time delay prior to transfer and reset 0 to 20 seconds after transfer.
  • 60 Hz or 50 Hz selector switch.
  • Three-phase/single-phase selector switch.
Voltage & Frequency Sensing
  • Adjustable three-phase, close differential voltage sensing on normal source.
  • Normal source pickup voltage is adjustable to 95% of nominal; drop-out is adjustable from 70 to 90% of nominal.
  • Frequency sensing on emergency source. Pickup at 95% and dropout at 85% of nominal.
Time Delays
  • Adjustable time delay to override momentary normal source outages to delay all transfer switch and engine-starting signals.
  • Transfer to emergency time delay. Adjustable from 0 to 5 minutes for controlled timing of load transfer to emergency.
  • Retransfer to normal time delay. Adjustable to 30 minutes.
  • Five-minute unloaded running time delay for emergency engine generator cool down.
  • Four-second time delay to override momentary to ignore momentary voltage and frequency transients during initial genset loading.
Standard Control Contacts
  • Switch position indicating contacts (rated 10 amps 250VAC, 32VDC). (1) for Normal position, (1) for Emergency position.
  • Gold plated engine start contacts (rated 5 amps 28VDC or 120VAC).
Remote Control Features

Terminal provisions for connecting:

  • Remote test switch.
  • Remote contact for test or for peak shaving applications. Circuit will be automatically bypassed if emergency source fails.
  • Inhibit transfer to emergency.
  • Remote time-delay bypass switch

Product Features
  • Nominal voltage 120/240 V 60 Hz, single phase.
  • Listed to UL1008 Transfer Switch Equipment and CSA Certified to CSA 22.2 No. 178-1978 Automatic Transfer Switches.
  • Meets National Electrical Code (NEC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements.
  • True double-throw contacts (no intentional off position), with inherent mechanical interlocking to prevent connection of generator and utility source.
  • Convenient terminals to connect neutral and ground conductors from service and load feeders.
  • Available in Type 1 (indoor) and Type 3R (outdoor) enclosures.
  • Manually-operated Series 165 Transfer Switches are also available.
  • Available from stock.

 

Time Delay Functions
  • 3-second time delay to override momentary utility source.
  • 15-second transfer to emergency time delay to allow engine generator to stabilize after starting.
  • 15-second time delay after transfer to the standby source to ignore momentary voltage dips on the generator during initial loading.
  • 5-minute time delay on retransfer to allow utility source to stabilize prior to transferring the load back to utility.
  • 1-minute unloading running time delay for engine generator cool-down before shutdown.

 

Control Panel

Diagnostic Indicators

The 165 Automatic Transfer Switch has a unique built-in automatic digital diagnostic monitoring system, which provides status on potential system problems such as: generator failed to start; generator over frequency; transfer switch did not transfer; and more. It's one more way you can count on ASCO to provide continuous power protection ...anytime.
