ASCO SERIES 230 Automatic Transfer Switch

The Recognized Leader in Power Transfer Switch Technology Offers the Most Advanced Transfer Switches in the World. Application Product Overview The Series 230 automatic transfer switch consists of an intelligent controller and a modular load break switch which automatically transfers the load to the emergency power source when it detects the normal power source under/over voltage, under/over frequency, or phase loss. The switch has three operational positions (Source I, Center-off, Source II). The series 230 is available in 5 different frame sizes up to 800A and can operate in multiple control modes including automatic, remote and manual operation. The Series 230 transfer switch is available in single and three phase configurations up to 80A, and for higher power applications in three phase configurations up to 800A, up to 415 volts and for both 50 and 60 Hz. Typical applications include commercial and residential buildings, hospitals, telecom, subway and transportation, data centers, military and fire pumps.

Critical Loads Demand ASCO Surge Suppression Every facility depends on electronics to run everything from computers to security to production lines. Transfer switches provide an essential level of protection against power anomalies or total loss of a power source. However, disturbances other than a loss of power can disrupt or damage equipment, resulting in loss of data and an increase in downtime. Terms used to describe power disturbances vary: surges, transients, spikes, swells, or noise. These high-energy events last for only microseconds, and differ based on how they are generated or where they occur in the facility. Such disturbances can flow through the facility and put downstream equipment at risk, including robust and sophisticated transfer switch controls. ASCO offers Surge Suppression solutions to address power transients of various severity and frequency. With over 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing world-class surge protection products, we have established a comprehensive and cost effective product set for both IEC and UL market applications. For critical power applications, Advanced Transient Detection and Power Quality Analysis provide monitoring of surge conditions, enabling real-time power quality measurements, logging of transient events, statistical summaries, and protection of your Series 230 transfer switch controls and other downstream equipment. Understanding the severity, type and timing of disruptive power events allows analysis of trends to better manage the electrical system needs. Contact your regional ASCO sales professional or distribution partner for detailed information. 15
