AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

CAT® ATC CONTACTOR-

BASED BYPASS ISOLATION
AUTOMATIC TRANSFER
SWITCH

Cat® transfer switches are designed for a variety of

standby power applications. They provide flexibility,
reliability and value in a compact package. A Bypass
Isolation Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) provides fully
functioning transfer in applications where emergency
power to critical loads must be maintained at all times
with no interruption. This type of design allows for
inspection, maintenance or replacement of the power
switching mechanisms with no interruption in electrical
service. Contactor -based Bypass Isolation ATS are
available from 100A to 1200A.

CONTROLS AND WIRING

All control relays and industrial-grade relays are totally
encapsulated to minimize exposure to dust and dirt.
Lugs are 90ºC rated and all control wire is #16 and #18 AWG,
type XLPE with a 125°C temperature rating.

ENCLOSURE
Durable powder-coated steel NEMA 1, 3R, or 12 enclosures
with three door hinges to ensure proper support of the door
and door mounted devices. The hinges have removable
hinge pins to facilitate door removal for easy wall mounting
or service and are supplied with pad-lockable latches.
