    Why ASCO POWER TECHNOLOGIES Switch does not transfer the load to emergency source after the gen-set starts?
    • T
      Troy MolinaJul 31, 2025
      The ASCO POWER TECHNOLOGIES Switch may not transfer the load to the emergency source if the generator output circuit breaker is not closed or if the generator frequency is below 57 Hz. Allow the Transfer to Emergency Delay (0 to 5 min.) to expire. If you need an immediate transfer, press the BYPASS TIME DELAY button.

      If the ASCO POWER TECHNOLOGIES Switch gen-set does not start, hold the TRANSFER SWITCH TEST button for 15 seconds, or ensure the outage lasts long enough to account for the 1 or 3 second Momentary Normal Source Outage Delay, plus engine cranking and starting time.
