ASCO 386 non-automatic transfer switches are generally used in applications where operating personnel are
available and theload is not an emergency type requiring automatic transfer of power. The power-switching
mechanism and controller is the samehardware used on the highly reliable ASCO Series 300 transfer switches.
ASCO 386s are furnished as standard with a momentary-type selector switch to initiate transfer and retransfer.
They can also be arranged for remote control via ASCOs communication products.
The ASCO Service Entrance
Power Transfer Switchcombines automatic
power switching with a utility circuit breaker as a disconnect
device. The power transfer switch meets all National
Electrical Code requirements for installation as service
entrance equipment.
Service entrance rated transfer switches generally are
installed at facilities that have a single utility feed and
a single emergency power source. Acircuit breaker serves
as the utility disconnect
and links are provided to
connect both neutral and
ground conductors.
The ASCO 300SE Service
Entrance Automatic Transfer
Switch uses the same
reliable transfer switching
mechanism and controller
as the series 300 product
platform, and also includes
a utility circuit breaker as
a disconnect device.
Product Features:
lSuitable for use as service entrance equipment.
lThe ASCO Series 300SE is listed to UL891 standard
for Dead-Front Switchboards, and meets all NEC
requirements for service entrance equipment.
lAutomatic Transfer Switch is listed to UL1008 for total
system loads.
lSizes available from 70 through 3000 amps.
lAvailable to 600 VAC, 50 or 60Hz, single or three phase.
lCircuit Breaker disconnect on the normal for isolation of
transfer switch and other electrical equipment.
lDisconnect link on Neutral and Ground.
lSilver plated copper ground and neutral bus.
lSolderless screw type terminals for External Power
Connections.
lGround fault trip protection provided on sizes of 1000
amperes and above.
lULapproved Type 1 enclosure.
lAvailable with solid or switched neutral.
lOptional TVSS Available on Normal, Emergency and/or Load.
