ASCO 230-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch

230-Amp ATS   Non-Service Rated    NEMA 1 Indoor Only     Residential or Light Commercial

230 Amp Transfer Switches ASCO 185 Series

The Non-SE Rated ASCO 230 Amp Generator Transfer Switch Powers only essential or critical loads located in a subpanel served by the main circuit breaker panel. During a power outage, the 230 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 1 Steel cabinet meets code for indoor installation.

230 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 230 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 switches the subpanel to generator power.
