OTPC transfer switches are designed for operation and switching of electrical loads between primary power and standby generator sets. They are suitable for use in emergency, legally required and optional standby applications.
The switch monitors both power sources, signals generator set startup, automatically transfers power, and returns the load to the primary power source when the utility returns and stabilizes. OTPC transfer switches are available with closed transition transfer. By briefly connecting the two sources (for 100 msec or less), the transfer from the alternate source back to the normal source occurs without interruption in the power supply to loads.
PowerCommand® control – A fully featured microprocessor-based control with digital display. Controls allow operator to enter settings and make adjustments to software-enabled features easily and accurately. Accommodates up to eight event schedules.
Programmed transition – Open transition timing can be adjusted to completely disconnect the load from both sources for a programmed time period, as recommended by NEMA MG-1 for transfer of inductive loads.
Advanced transfer switch mechanism – Unique bidirectional linear actuator provides mooth,
Continuous transfer switch action during automatic operation
Robust control system design – Optically isolated logic inputs and isolation transformers for AC power inputs provide high-voltage surge protection.
Main contacts – Heavy-duty silver alloy contacts with multi-leaf arc chutes are rated for motor loads or total system load transfer. They require no routine contact maintenance.
