ZTS

The Zenith ZTS Series of automatic transfer switches (ATS) are built for business and industrial critical applications requiring the reliability and enhanced operation. The ZTS Series uses the MX250 microprocessor control system, which includes features specified for use in business and industrial critical applications. It also provides an intuitive user interface, communications capability and self diagnostics.

The ZTS Series is available in a full range of ampere, voltage and pole configurations, along with an extensive list of options and features.

Configurations

• ZTS - Standard (Open) Transition
The Zenith ZTS transfer switch is used in general and mixed load applications.

• ZTSD - Delayed Transition
The Zenith ZTSD transfer switch is used to transfer of motor loads, and transformers.

• ZTSCT - Closed Transition
The Zenith ZTSCT transfer switch is used to transfer critical loads where a "no break" transfer is desired with this switch 100msec parallel capability.
