SWITCH

General characteristics
The automatic transfer switch ATK is used for the
automatic changeover of the load from the main line to
a secondary line.
It is made of a single unit in an insulated housing and
has two outgoings for the automatic and/or manual
control of contactors or circuit breakers.
MANUAL CHANGEOVER
This mode consents to the manual changeover from one
source to another and viceversa.
AUTOMATIC CHANGEOVER
This mode automatically enables the switching of two
lines within a time period, adjustable between 0.5 and
120 seconds.
The control of the two line contactors or circuit breakers
is achieved in a safe and reliable manner by means of a
safety system with internal electromechanical interlock
of the ATK unit.
