The Automatic Transfer Switch is a product that has evolved over decades in response to the changing needs of critical loads. When ASCO began developing this product, there were scarce applications and no standards. As a result, ASCO applied its good engineering judgment in defining the product to meet the need of customers who were becoming increasingly dependent upon the continuity of electric power to their critical loads. Factory floor and into the process industry.
Standard features in the 300 series Motor load transfer controls (inphase monitor) to keep motors
operating during transfer. Pre-transfer & post-transfer load disconnect contacts for signaling
motor starters, elevators, VFDs and other selected loads. Standard Engine Exerciser for weekly
automatic testing of engine generator set with or without load. Selectable control switches for
voltage, frequency, time delay settings & additional control features. Switch position lights,
source availability lights, test switch and time delay bypass switch. Sizes 30 through 3000 amps
in a compact design, 2, 3, & 4 pole configurations. Available 120 to 600VAC. UL 1008 listed to
480VAC for total system loads. True double-throw, inherently interlocked construction. Mechanically
held, electrically operated utilizing a reliable, field-proven single solenoid operator. Contacts
easily accessible for easy inspection and preventive maintenance. Meets National Electric Code
requirements (U.S.). Rated for emergency and standby applications. Standard models in stock.
Available in Type 1, 3R, 4 and 12 enclosures. Conversion kits available from stock to allow
field addition of Optional Accessories.

ASCO 900 series Automatic Transfer Switches are suitable for emergency and standby power system
applications. They meet emergency system rating requirements as defined in National Electrical Code
(NEC) Article 700 and UL 1008. Also, they are suitable for the requirements of NEC Article 517 - Health
Care Facilities, NEC Article 701 - Legally Required Standby Systems, NEC Article 702 - Optional Standby
Systems, NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities, and NFPA 110 Emergency and Standby Power Systems. ASCO 940
Automatic Transfer Switches provide the most reliable means for transferring critical loads between
two sources of electrical power (typically a utility and an on-site engine driven generator). Their
quality design, rugged construction and proven performance assure maximum reliability and value for
the specifying engineer, installer and user. The ASCO 940 consists of a power transfer switch and a
microprocessor control panel, which is available in either open or enclosed configurations. The high
withstand and close-on ratings achieved by the ASCO single-solenoid operator and unique contact
design make ASCO 940s the best choice for all automatic transfer switch applications.
