O&M Manual for 40-1200A (480/600 Vac) ATC-900 3-Position, 

Open/Closed Transition Contactor Based Transfer Switch

Figure 4A. Open Transition Contactor Based ATS (1200A).

Each panel is independently mounted with interconnecting wiring 

terminated at the connector receptacles on the ATC-900 Control-

ler.

For open transition contactor based transfer switch, enclosure 

mounting is simplified by utilizing mounting flanges with elon-

gated (teardrop) mounting holes on top and floor mount (wall 

supported) flanges with two standard mounting holes on the bot-

tom. 

For close transition contactor based transfer switch, enclosure is 

free standing and is seismic approved. Refer to Section 4 for spe-

cific mounting and modification details.

1.3 ATS Catalog Number Identification

Transfer switch equipment catalog numbers provide a significant 

amount of relevant information that pertains to a particular piece 

of equipment.  The Catalog Number Identification Table (Table 2) 

provides the required interpretation information.  An example is 

offered here to initially simplify the process.

The catalog number ATC9C3X31200XRU describes an ATS with 

a 3 pole, 3 position Power Contactor mounted on a baseplate 

within the enclosure.  The intelligence represented by the logic 

panel is ATC-900 controller.  The continuous current rating of 

this equipment is 1200A and applicable at 480 Vac, 60 Hz.  The 

transfer switch equipment is enclosed in a NEMA 3R enclosure 

and is listed for UL applications.
