 Bypass isolation transfer switches
The bypass isolation switch is designed for applications where maintenance, inspection
and testing must be performed while maintaining continuous power to the load. This is
typically required in critical life support systems and standby power situations calling for
safe system maintenance with no power disruptions. Eaton offers bypass options in both
Contactor and Magnum breaker switches.

Automatic transfer switch controllers
An automatic transfer switch controller is the key component that provides the intelligence
to sense the proper conditions to initiate a transfer and retransfer of the switch. Eaton’s
transfer switches come with the design flexibility of being applied with a variety of controllers.
