OVERVIEW
104 AMP ASCO Transfer Switch, 3 Pole NEMA3R 480V
ASCO ATS Series 300 3ATSA30104NG0F
The ASCO Series 300 power transfer switches provide you with a range of options for managing your grid-to-generator controls. With a 104 amp capacity and automatic switching functionality, the ASCO 104 AMP 3 Pole switch provides convenient, smart technology that makes life easier in light industrial, agricultural, retail, warehouse and other commercial environments.
What is an Automatic Transfer Switch?
As the name implies, an ATS is a unit that automatically transfers power from one source to another. In most cases, the ASCO Series 300 Automatic Transfer Switches convert loads from grid power to generator power in the event of an outage or power abnormality.
How does the ASCO 104 AMP 3 Pole Automatic Transfer Switch operate?
The ASCO 104 AMP 3 Pole Automatic Transfer Switch is equipped with programmed logic and smart sensors, so it can tell when grid power has been interrupted or is unstable. At that time, the switch sends signals to generators, telling generators to power up. Once generators reach appropriate voltage to take power loads for equipment or a facility, the ATS switches specified equipment or power loads from grid to generator power. The ATS monitors grid power, so it knows when to switch equipment back to traditional power sources.
Features of the ASCO 104 AMP 3 Pole Automatic Transfer Switch
• Compact designs that make it easy to install, maintain and inspect switches in any environment.
• Rugged construction that holds up to rigors in light industrial or warehouse environments.
• Compliance with UL 1008 and CSA C22.2 standards.
• Compliant with NFPA 110 and NEC articles 700, 701 and 702.
• RoHS compliant.
Advantages of your ASCO 104 AMP 3 Pole Automatic Transfer Switch
A major advantage of the ASCO Series 300 automatic transfer switches is the fact that business owners and operators can worry less about on-site functionality when staff is absent from the facility. In some cases, evening staff may be minimal, making it difficult to keep up constant monitoring on all machines and areas of a building. In all cases, the ASCO 104 AMP transfer switch keeps track of power flow and takes action to protect your critical machines and processes.
Because the machines are designed to hold up under extraordinary switching demands, issues such as high inrush loads or stalled motors will not damage the switch, and you can program specific switching logic to customize generator management in your facility. Field modification kits are available, and you can also opt for neutral poles.
Controls for the Automatic Transfer Switch are password protected to prevent vandalism or malicious changes to programming, and a number of reports allow you to track functionality and understand what power changes were made automatically. Because the Series 300 ATS draw power from the same source machines are switched to, the system will never switch power to a dead source, reducing risks of internal machine damage or long-term process stops. This is especially important in industries such as food service, where refrigerators must stay powered to retain appropriate temperatures.
