ASCO Power Technologies’ new soft load transfer system for its 7000 Series automatic switches integrates on-site generators with the utility grid almost seamlessly. Serving as a true interconnect device, the system is especially helpful in distributed generation applications, because it provides a gradual power shift as loads transfer from one source of power to another, thereby facilitating net metering, peak shaving and sharing, and power resale to the utility. The system is also designed for ease of use, with ASCO’s graphical user interface allowing use of a simple, intuitive touch screen to accomplish all control, protective, and permissive settings. The transfer system is customizable to each site, with four user-configurable operating modes. Available in 200, 400, 800, 1200, 2000, 3000, and 4000 amps, the system can be integrated into almost any power application. Companies can use the ASCO system in either manual or automatic mode for base loading, peak shaving, or emergency supply. For more information visit ASCO on the web.
