HINGHAM, Mass. — Russelectric, a Siemens business, a manufacturer of power control systems and automatic transfer switches, highlights the External Manual Operator (E.M.O.), a standard feature of the Russelectric® RTS-03 Series and RTS-30 Series of open-transition automatic transfer switches, a rugged and complete line of 480 VAC 30-cycle and 3-cycle UL tested switches. The unique EMO feature enables easy, safe, and quick manual transfer with the door fully closed, significantly reducing downtime and the risk of arc flash injuries.
With the EMO, the manual transfer process is much easier and faster for both the preferred and the alternative power sources, and no special procedures are required to ensure the system is de-energized during the transfer operation. That means less downtime because the cabinet door remains closed.
