Up to 3000 A
System Voltage Rating
Up to 600 Vac
System Frequency Rating
50/60 Hz

Core features

  • Available in open delayed, open in-phase, and closed transition types
  • Automatic and non-automatic modes of operation 
  • Includes an interlocked, double-throw power switch driven by a robust solenoid operating mechanism
  • Service entrance rated option available with Eaton’s Arcflash Reduction Maintenance System to reduce the incident energy levels for downstream equipment during periods of maintenance
  • Indoor and outdoor enclosure types
  • Listed to UL 1008 and CSA 22.2 No. 178, Seismic certified
  • Integrated Cam-Lok receptacle power panel that serves as a docking station for quick connection of a portable or temporary generator 

What is WCR in a transfer switch?

A Withstand Closing Current Rating (WCR) represents a transfer switch's capability to ride out a fault condition until the overcurrent protection device clears the fault. View the video for more information.
