7000 SERIES POWER TRANSFER SWITCHES – OVERVIEW
ASCO Power Transfer Switches are the standard of the industry. High speed transfer of loads between alternate sources of power, regardless of ampacity, is achieved using a reliable, field-proven solenoid operating mechanism. When combined with a programmable microprocessor controller with keypad and LCD display, they offer the most advanced method of transferring all types of loads, such as motors, electronic drives, UPS’s and microprocessor-based systems. 7000 Series Power Transfer Switches are available open or enclosed, in ampacities ranging from 30 through 4000 amps with the largest selection of optional accessories offered anywhere. All switching configurations are available with an integrally mounted bypass-isolation switch. Configurations are also available for service entrance applications.
Typical Applications
- Healthcare Facilities
- Enterprise / Colocation / Cloud Data Centers

Automatic & Non-Automatic Transfer Switching
ASCO Transfer Switches are available in both automatic & non-automatic initiation types. Both types are electrically operated. For automatic transfer switches, the controller initiates transfer. For non-automatic transfer switches, the user initiates switching transfer between power sources using switches mounted locally or at remote locations. Non-automatic switches have the following features:
- Sizes from 30 through 4000 amps.
- Microprocessor-based controller provides for addition of optional accessories.
- Controller prevents inadvertent operation under low voltage conditions.
- Low control circuit operating currents allow for long distances between remotely mounted manual control switches and the transfer switch.
- Source acceptability lights inform operator when sources are available to accept load.
- Standard inphase monitor can be activated for transferring motor loads.
