Reliable Automatic Source Transfer Technology
The GLCMB0160E110 uses a motor-driven break-before-make operating mechanism to safely transfer electrical loads between two independent power supplies. During every switching sequence, the connected load is disconnected from the active source before the alternative source is connected, preventing both supplies from being connected simultaneously.
Its 110–125 V AC/DC motor supply makes it suitable for installations using either AC or DC control circuits, while its robust switching performance and long mechanical endurance ensure dependable operation in critical power applications.
Typical Applications
- Automatic transfer switch (ATS) panels.
- Standby generator systems.
- Industrial power distribution.
- Commercial buildings.
- Critical infrastructure.
- Data centres.
- Healthcare facilities.
- Manufacturing plants.
