Standard Features

Interface Boards

Standard Interface Board

Connects to the Model RDC2 generator set/transfer switch controller. Includes a load control contact with a 5-minute time delay for starting selected loads after transfer to the emergency source, suitable for large motor loads.

Combined Interface/Load Management Board

An optional board that replaces the standard interface board. Available on single-phase standard and service entrance models (not on 3-phase or load center models). This board automatically manages up to six residential loads:

Withstand and Close-On Ratings (WCR)

Service Entrance Transfer Switch Ratings

The service entrance transfer switch is factory-equipped with a normal source disconnect circuit breaker. Suitable for controlling motors, electric discharge lamps, tungsten filament lamps, and electric heating equipment, provided the sum of motor full-load ampere ratings and other load ampere ratings does not exceed the switch rating, and tungsten load does not exceed 30% of switch rating.

Switch Rating, Amps * WCR, RMS Symmetrical Amps at 240 VAC
100, 150, 200 22,000
300, 400 35,000

* Continuous load current not to exceed 80% of switch rating.

Contactor Ratings with Coordinated Circuit Breakers

Single-phase transfer switches are UL listed at 240 VAC maximum. Three-phase transfer switches are rated at 480 VAC maximum. The following tables list contactor withstand current ratings (WCR) for 100-400 ampere non-service entrance rated switches with specific manufacturer's circuit breakers per UL and Canadian safety standards. These are suitable for controlling motors, electric discharge lamps, tungsten filament lamps, and electric heating equipment, provided the sum of motor full-load ampere ratings and other load ampere ratings does not exceed the switch rating, and tungsten load does not exceed 30% of switch rating.

The transfer switch is rated for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than the RMS symmetrical amperes maximum shown in the tables below, but no greater than the interrupting capacity of the selected breaker.
