ASCO 300 Series Transfer Switch

Introduction

This document provides essential information for the ASCO 300 Series automatic transfer switches. It covers operator instructions, product wiring data, and outline and mounting details to ensure proper installation and operation.

Product Overview

The ASCO 300 Series is designed for reliable power transfer in critical applications. It automatically switches between a primary power source and an emergency power source when the primary source fails, ensuring continuous power availability.

Technical Specifications

Detailed technical specifications, including voltage ratings, current capacity, frequency, and environmental operating conditions, are provided in this section. For a complete list of specifications, please refer to the official product data sheet.

Product Wiring Data

The wiring diagram illustrates the internal and external connections for the ASCO 300 Series transfer switch. It details the connections for power inputs (Line 1 and Line 2), the load connection, and the neutral busbar. Control wiring terminals are clearly marked for connection to the automatic transfer control module and any external signaling devices. Grounding connections are specified for safety. Note: Always consult the specific wiring diagram provided with your unit, as configurations may vary. Verify all connections before energizing the equipment.

Outline and Mounting Data

This section provides dimensional drawings and mounting instructions. Recommended mounting locations, clearance requirements for ventilation and access, and hardware specifications are detailed. The transfer switch should be mounted vertically on a stable, non-combustible surface. Ensure adequate space around the unit for maintenance and heat dissipation.

Mounting Considerations:

Clearance: Maintain a minimum of 6 inches (150 mm) above and below, and 4 inches (100 mm) on the sides for proper ventilation and access.
Environment: Install in a clean, dry location, free from excessive dust, moisture, and corrosive fumes.
Fasteners: Use appropriately sized and rated mounting hardware (e.g., M6 or 1/4-inch screws) suitable for the mounting surface.

Operator's Manual

The ASCO 300 Series is designed for automatic operation. The control module continuously monitors the primary power source. Upon detecting a failure or unacceptable voltage/frequency deviation, it initiates the transfer to the emergency source. When the primary source is restored and stable, the switch will re-transfer the load back and then signal the emergency generator to shut down.

Key Operational Features:

Automatic Source Monitoring and Transfer
Adjustable Time Delays (e.g., Engine Start Delay, Retransfer Delay, Disconnect Delay)
Manual Operation Mode for testing and maintenance
Status Indicators for power sources and load connection
Diagnostic capabilities via the control module interface
