Automatic Transfer Switch Equipment
GE Zenith’s ZTX Series switches are built for
residential and light commercial applications
requiring the dependability and ease of opera-
tion found in a power contactor switch.
• Ratings 40 to 400 amps (2, 3 and 4 pole)
• UL 1008, CSA and IEC
listed to 480 VAC 50/60Hz
• Double throw, mechanically interlocked
contactor mechanism
• Electrically operated, mechanically held

80% dropout) of the utility source
• Voltage and frequency sensing of
the generator source (90% voltage/ • Selectable 7, 14, 21 or 28 day (factory set
95% frequency pickup) 28 days) generator exerciser timer
• Time Delay Engine Start - 5 seconds (P) • Diagnostic LED indications
• Time Delay Engine Warmup -
Transfer to Generator - 20 seconds (W) Additional options include:
• Time Delay Utility Stabilization/ A3/A4 Auxiliary contacts (1 each) closed

Technical Specifications
Engine Cranking Limiter Lug Configuration
Amp Size Standard Lugs
The ZTX Series is available with an engine cranking module.
This accessory allows the engine to cycle crank 3 times with 40-150 1 - #8 to 3/0 AWG per pole
2 rests (10 seconds each), then it disconnects the engine start
function at the transfer switch if the engine fails to start. 200-225 1 - #6 to 250 MCM per pole

300-400 1 - #4 to 600 MCM per pole

Start signal disconnect also takes place on: overcrank, over-
speed, high temperature, low oil pressure and if the generator
circuit breaker is tripped or open.
