WAUKEHSA, Wis., June 11, 2020
/PRNewswire/ -- Generac Industrial Power is proud to introduce the
first of its new, best in class TX Series Transfer Switches. This
innovative product joins the full line of Generac transfer switches
and is designed to meet varying needs, from commercial applications
all the way to the most demanding critical installations. The TX
Series switches are Generac-designed and built in-house, with
exceptional features that meet or exceed any application needs.
"This is the most versatile switch Generac has designed and
engineered to date," said Nikhil
Nagpal, product manager, Generac Power Systems. "Between its
withstand rating, field selectable voltage and ease of
installation, the TX Series is the ideal solution for an array of
applications."
Generac has decades of experience in the design, development and
manufacturing of transfer switches. Seeing an opportunity in the
market space, Generac sought to introduce a family of products
offering best in class features, all in an accelerated time
frame.
"We constructed multi-million dollar laboratories, focusing on
engineering transfer switches," said Erik
Wilde, executive vice president industrial – Americas,
Generac Power Systems. "These facilities, gave us the ability to
innovate and iterate quickly, driving optimized solutions at an
accelerated pace, allowing us to introduce a rich product line at a
competitive price."
The transfer switches are available in contactor type, which are double-throw and
interlocked with an over-center design to ensure safe, positive
transfer between power sources. A modular design with removable
back, top and bottom plates makes installation and mounting easy,
and it can be completed by one person, saving time and money. It
also makes replacing a part or sub-system in the event of a desired
upgrade, or part failure, quick and simple. Available for sale now
are Generac's TX Series 100-400 Amp models.
"Originally, we based a project design around a different
switch, but when introduced to the TX Series, we brought it to the
engineer and owner," said Matt Edly,
senior power solutions consultant, National Power. "The engineer
quickly recognized the added features that improved the electrical
design and the owner was pleased with the added value to his
project."
The TX Series switches are voltage agnostic (excluding the 40 V
Delta and 600 V applications). This revolutionary capability means
that a switch can operate on any voltage as is required at the site
and can be easily configured in the field. Additionally, this means
that Generac and our dealers can easily stock these switches to be
used in any project irrespective of the voltage. The switches are
also UL 1008 certified through ETL and meet all relevant NEC codes.
The series of switches all have high withstand and closing ratings
(WCR) with optional 3 cycle rating available. The common sizes of
200 Amp and 400 Amp have WCR of 42 kA and 65 kA respectively.
Service entrance models are 100% rated to carry full rated
current.
A USB port access point makes for easy data retrieval and onsite
firmware updates. Built-in battery backup increases switch
reliability and reduces switch transition time to an alternate
source, with the battery backup able to provide power to the
controller for up to 60 minutes in the event of no source
availability. NEMA 1 or NEMA 3R enclosures are available for these
units.
"I am extremely excited about the launch of this new line of
transfer switches," said Patrick
Forsythe, executive vice president global engineering,
Generac Power Systems. "The delivered product is innovative and
market leading, and is the result of decades of experience and
years of innovative product development."
