Commercial Duty Service Entrance Rated Transfer Switches
Russelectric, a Siemens Business, has announced the release of the RTSCD-SE Commercial Duty Service Entrance Transfer Switches. These new transfer switches are designed to provide a cost-effective service entrance option for commercial spaces, including educational campuses, high-rise complexes, industrial plants, and manufacturing facilities.
The RTSCD-SE combines automatic power switching with the necessary disconnecting, grounding, and bonding for service entrance equipment. It features a user-friendly operator interface panel with a keypad displaying text and icons, and an historical event log. The switches are available in 2, 3, and 4 pole models with solid or fully rated switched neutral options.
The RTSCD-SE offers rapid and reliable arc quenching with manual transfer, a permanently affixed manual handle, and a mechanically held contactor. The front-connected design allows for easy access to contacts for inspection. The switches utilize preloaded springs and an electric operator-driven over-center mechanism for quick switching operation, providing full arc interruption and reducing contact erosion to extend the switch's life.
The RTSCD-SE switches comply with UL1008 up to 480 VAC, NFPA 110, NEC Articles 700, 701, and 702, Enclosure UL Type 1, and IBC 2018 and CBC 2019 seismic standards. Optional accessories include a power monitoring package, auto/load test key switch, load shed relay, selector switch for auto/manual operation, pushbuttons for manual transfer, and a space heater/thermostat.
