Product catalog summary
Overview
The GTEC transfer switches are engineered for transferring electrical loads between a utility and a generator set or between two generators. They incorporate a microprocessor control system that monitors power sources and automatically transfers loads as needed. These switches are versatile, suitable for both utility-to-generator and genset-to-genset applications, with programmable intervals for alternating between generators.
Certifications
The switches comply with IEC 60947-6-1 AC31A standards and are CE marked. They also hold CCC certification from the China Quality Certification Centre and are produced in ISO9001 certified facilities.
Key Features
  • Microprocessor control with LED indicators and digital push-buttons.
  • Programmed transition for safe load disconnection.
  • Advanced transfer switch mechanism with break-before-make action.
  • Manual operation capability with a removable handle.
  • Multi-voltage rating from 110V to 277V.
  • Positive interlocking to prevent source-to-source connection.
  • Silver alloy main contacts for 100% load interruption.

GTEC Transfer switch Open transition-1

GTEC Transfer switch Open transition 40 - 2000 amp Description GTEC transfer switches combine reliability and flexibility in a small, economical package for transferring loads between a utility and a generator set, or between two generators. The microprocessor control monitors utility and emergency standby generator power. When utility power fails or is unsatisfactory, the control starts the generator, then transfers the load from the utility to the generator. When stable utility power returns, the switch automatically transfers the load back to the utility. For genset-to-genset applications, the generator set that is connected to the utility side of the control is the lead genset. If the lead generator set goes down or is taken offline, the transfer switch starts the second generator set and transfers the load. The control can be programmed to alternate between the two generator set at a set interval up to 300 hours. The fully integrated controller is designed for practical functionality, with LED indicators and digital push-buttons for ease of operator use. 40-1250 amp switches are third-party certified as meeting IEC 60947-6-1 AC31A. All switches bear the CE mark. 40-1250 amp switches are CCC certified by the China Quality Certification Centre. This transfer switch is designed and manufactured in facilities certified to ISO9001. Features Microprocessor control: Easy-to-use, standard control. LED displays indicate transfer switch status. Pushbuttons allow operator to activate test, exercise timing and transfer mode. Programmed transition: Open transition timing can be adjusted to completely disconnect the load from both sources for a programmed time period. Recommended for inductive loads to prevent nuisance tripping. Advanced transfer switch mechanism: True transfer switch mechanism with break-before-make action. Manual operation: Standard removable handle can be used to manually operate the switch after the power source has been completely disconnected. Multi-voltage rating: The multiple selectable voltage setting is field adjustable, and allows GTEC to be applied to voltage ranging from 110V to 277V without using external transformers. Positive interlocking: Mechanical and electrical interlocking prevent source-to-source connection through the power or control wiring. Main contacts: Silver alloy contacts with multi-leaf arc chutes are rated for 100% load interruption. They require no routine contact maintenance and provide 100% continuous current ratings. Easy to service: Single-plug harness connection and compatible terminal markings simplify servicing. Access space is ample. Door-mounted controls are fieldprogrammable; no tool is required. Complete product line: Cummins Power Generation offers a wide range of equipment, accessories and services to suit virtually any backup power application. Warranty and service: Products are backed by a comprehensive warranty and a worldwide network of distributors with factory-trained service technicians. ©2011 Cummins Power Generation | All rights reserved.

GTEC Transfer switch Open transition-2

Transfer switch mechanism • A powerful, economical AC solenoid operates GTEC transfer switches. • Independent break-before-make action is used for 2-pole, 3-pole and 4-pole switches. On 4-pole/switched neutral switches, this action prevents the objectionable ground currents and nuisance ground fault tripping that can result from overlapping designs. • A mechanical interlock prevents simultaneous closing of normal and emergency contacts. • Electrical interlocks prevent simultaneous closing signals to normal and emergency contacts and interconnection of normal and emergency sources through the...
