The B-Series bypass-isolation transfer switches combine a draw-out automatic transfer switch with isolation mechanism and a manual bypass transfer switch, to provide redundant power transfer and re-transfer capability where reliable power is paramount to the safety and vitality of our communities. These products are specifically designed to provide a convenient and robust means to satisfy the NFPA 70 Article 700 and 708 requirements for redundant transfer equipment.
The B-Series transfer switches are designed for operation and switching of electrical loads between primary and alternate power sources. They can be used in utility-generator set, utility-utility, generator set-generator set, or three- source system (dual standby) application types.
The B-Series transfer switches are suitable for use in emergency, legally required and optional standby applications. The integral automatic transfer switch control monitors both power sources, signals the generator set to start and automatically transfers the load to the alternate power source. When the preferred power source returns and has stabilized, the load is automatically transferred back.
The B-Series integral automatic transfer switches are available in closed transition operations. By briefly paralleling the two sources (for 100 ms or less), the transfer from the alternate source back to the normal source occurs without power interruption to the loads.
