Overview
The Cat® CTG Series Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) are pre-configured for applications requiring the dependability and ease of operation found in a full feature power contactor type transfer switch.
CTG switches are equipped with the next generation MX150 microprocessor panel, which controls the operation and displays the status of the transfer switch’s position, timers and available sources. As an embedded digital controller, the MX150 offers high reliability and ease of unattended operation across a range of applications.

Optional Equipment:
Options
+
-
Service entrance configuration
Auxiliary Contacts: Closed when the transfer switch is in Source 1 position
Elevator Pre-Signal Auxiliary Contacts: Open 0-60 seconds prior to transfer to either direction, re-closes after transfer
Space heater and thermostat
Auxiliary Contact, operates on Source 1 line failure
Note:For applications requiring additional options or other configurations, see the CTS Series fully configurable transfer switch.
Auxiliary Contact, operates on Source 2 availability
Plant Exerciser, clock type (load/no load): Allows the generator to start and run unloaded or to simulate a power failure, start generator and run under load (7-14-28-365 days, user selectable)
