INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
ASCO Series 165 Automatic Transfer Switches are Listed
under the Underwriter’s Laboratories Standard for Transfer
Switch Equipment, UL–1008. They are intended for use only
in optional standby systems in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, NEC/NFPA 70, Article 702.
This automatic transfer switch is intended for standby power
applications in residential or light commercial use only.
The Series 165 Automatic Transfer
Switch is not for emergency or
life–support systems.
!
This product is not intended for emergency or
life–support systems.
If you have more stringent application requirements contact
ASCO for other products suitable for critical applications.
The automatic transfer switch helps provide safe
connection of the alternate source (generator) to the
electrical load after disconnecting the preferred source
(utility). It contains a double–throw, electromechanical
switching device for inherent isolation of the preferred and
alternate sources. This isolation prevents the danger of
connecting the utility to the generator which could cause
damage or personal injury. The automatic transfer switch’s
digital controller provides continuous monitoring of both
power sources and a start/stop signal to the generator.
