ASCO 260-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch
260-Amp ATS Non-Service Rated NEMA 3R Indoor/Outdoor Residential or Light Commercial
260 Amp Transfer Switches ASCO 185 Series
The Non-SE Rated ASCO 260 Amp Generator Transfer Switch Powers only essential or critical loads located in a subpanel servd by the main circuit breaker panel. During a power outage, the 260 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch disconnects the essential load subpanel from the main panel and provides power to the subpanel from the generator. Only the essential and critical loads connected to circuit breakers in the subpanel receive power. The NEMA 3R aluminum cabinet meets code for indoor and outdoor installations.
260 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch
ASCO Transfer Switches make sure the power stays on when utility power fails. When utility power returns, the ASCO ATS switches the home or business back to utility power and begins generator cool-down.
Compatible with any two-wire start system, The ASCO 260 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch monitors the utility power 24/7. When an outage occurs or power quality falls below an acceptable level, the transfer switch starts the generator and waits as the engine warms and the speed stabilizes. Once the generator is ready, the ATS isolates the utility from the subpanel and supplies generator power to the home or business.
