THE CAT CTS SERIES OF AUTOMATIC
This ruggedly built family of power contactor
TRANSFER SWITCHES
switches has been specifically designed for
transfer switch duty with dependability, versatility
The Cat CTS Series power contactor and user friendliness of prime concern.
Type transfer switch makes use of a fully
programmable/configurable microprocessor-based
controller to allow the utmost in application flexibility.
Further, the CTS Series is offered in a wide array of
configurations enabling it to meet the needs of even
the most highly critical load.
The CTS power panel components, consisting
of power switching contacts, drive mechanism
and terminal lugs, are mounted on a specially
formed backplane. Logic devices including
microprocessor control auxiliary time delays and
special accessory equipment are assembled on
the door for ease of maintenance and separation
Available configurations include: from the power section. They are connected
40-4000 Amps:
with a numbered wiring harness equipped with
CTS Automatic Transfer Switches a disconnect plug that allows isolation of the
CTSD Delayed Transition Transfer Switches control panel for maintenance.

emergency source. After the drive solenoid has
completed its electrical stroke and is seated, the
emergency coil control relay opens to disconnect
it. The transfer switch is now mechanically locked
in the emergency position. When normal voltage is
restored to a predetermined point (usually 90% of
nominal), the control voltage sensing energizes.
The normal side coil relay closes, and after the
drive solenoid has completed its electrical stroke
and is seated, the coil control relay opens to
disconnect it. The transfer switch is now
mechanically locked in the normal position.

DRIVE MECHANISM
EN61000-4-4
EN61000-4-5, IEEE C62.41 All CTS switches employ the simple “over-center”
principle to achieve a mechanically locked position
in either normal or emergency and a high speed
drive assures contact transfer in 100 ms or less.
High contact pressure and positive mechanical
lock allow for high withstand and closing ratings,
far exceeding UL requirements.
