Other Range of Bypass Switches ZBTSD
In critical applications such as those of hospitals and airports, power cannot be interrupted for maintenance of automatic transfer switches (ATSs). In such circumstances, a bypass-isolation switch is essential and is often required by code.
GE Zenith Controls ZBTS Series Bypass-Isolation Transfer Switches are the solution when interruption of power during service or testing is not acceptable.
Consisting of two major modules-the ATS and bypass-isolation switch-the ZBTS Series incorporates the rugged construction of all our ZTS Series switches with a quick-make/quick-break manual load transfer handle and our control/interlock system, which consists of both mechanical and electrical interlocks.
The bypass uses normal failure sensing and a time delay to start the engine automatically if a failure occurs when the ATS has been removed for service, which can be done without disturbing the load.

- High close-in and withstand capability
- Temperature rise test per UL 1008 conducted after overload and endurance tests in unventilated enclosure?2014exceeds UL requirements
- Available in ZBTS (utility-generator), ZBTSU (utility-utility), ZBTSG (generator-generator) and ZBTSM (manual) configurations; models include standard, delayed and closed transition
Design and Construction Features
- Transfer switch is located on a draw-out mechanism to facilitate maintenance
- Emergency power systems can be electrically tested without disturbing the load
- Power cables do not have to be disconnected to remove transfer switch
- Bypass to any available source with ATS removed
- Engine start circuit maintained during bypass operation; normal power failure causes engine start contact closure even with the ATS removed
