Russelectric, a Siemens Business, Highlights RTSCD Commercial Duty Service Entrance Rated Transfer Switches

Cost-effective service entrance option with Russelectric quality and reliability

Hingham, MA – Russelectric, A Siemens Business, a leading manufacturer of power control systems and automatic transfer switches, announces its new RTSCD-SE Commercial Duty Service Entrance Transfer Switches, a cost-effective option ideal for commercial spaces. Industrial plants and manufacturing facilities can rely on the RTSCD-SE to combine automatic power switching with the necessary disconnecting, grounding, and bonding required for use as service entrance equipment. 

Built to the same exacting standards around reliability and ease of operation for which Russelectric is well known throughout the industry, RTSCD-SE offers a superior product at an attractive price point. 

The RTSCD-SE transfer switches incorporate a user-friendly operator interface panel that features a keypad with text and icons and comes standard with an historical event log. The product is available in 2, 3 and 4 pole models, with solid or fully rated switched neutral. Featuring rapid and reliable arc quenching, the front connected RTSCD-SE offers manual transfer with rapid arc interruption, as well as a permanently affixed manual handle and mechanically held contactor. Contacts are easily accessible for convenient inspection. 

Like all Russelectric transfer switches, the RTSCD-SE switches feature preloaded springs and electric operator-driven over-center mechanism that result in extremely quick switching operation. This unique design instantaneously opens and closes the contacts, providing rapid full arc interruption, even under maximum voltage and amperage. This design considerably reduces contact erosion and effectively increases the switch’s useful life.

The RTSCD-SE switches meet UL1008 up to 480 (VAC) and comply with NFPA 110, NEC Articles 700, 701, 702, Enclosure UL Type 1 and IBC 2018 and CBC2019 seismic standards.

Optional accessories include a power monitoring package, auto/load test key switch and load shed relay, selector switch for auto/manual, pushbuttons for manual transfer, and a space heater/thermostat.
