Automatic Transfer Switches: Types, Transitions and Application
An automatic transfer switch moves a load between a normal source and an alternate source, usually a generator, and the way it makes that move decides what the load experiences. This article covers ATS construction and ratings, the three transition types, bypass-isolation and service-entrance variants, and the timing and code context that govern application.
