connection of service cables (or bus) and control circuit
wires. An experienced licensed electrician should install
the RC Switch.
Each ASCO 920 RC Switch has a ratings / identification
label defining load types and maximum voltage ratings.
Use the switch only within the limits shown on this label.
Do not exceed the values on the rating label.
Exceeding the rating can cause personal injury
or serious equipment damage.

    What to do if Asco RC Switch tries to open or close, but cannot?
    • R
      Richard JonesJul 26, 2025
      If your Asco RC Switch attempts to open or close but fails, verify the voltage to ensure the control line voltage is at least 90% of the nameplate coil voltage. Additionally, check the control line size and distance to confirm they meet the specified requirements. If a transformer is used, ensure it can handle the VA burden.

    Why does my Asco RC Switch open and close repeatedly?
    • A
      antonio63Aug 11, 2025
      If your Asco RC Switch is opening and closing repeatedly, examine the wiring to ensure that the control stations are not simultaneously signaling the ASCO 920 to open and close. Also, check the control station to make sure it does not have overlapping contacts.
