ASCO Power Control Center Upgrades
Which Power Control Center Does Your Equipment Have?
ASCO Group 5
Power Control Center
Power Control Center microprocessor power and logic PC
boards. The boards are separated to help protect against
the severe voltage transients
that can occur in industrial
distribution systems.
Rapid, ongoing advances
in power control technology can leave older
controllers outdated.
Today’s ASCO Power
Transfer Switch controllers
are more accurate, faster and
offer broader functionality
than previous models.
That’s good. Better
performing controllers can
satisfy the increasing requirement for critical information
on power transfer switching
equipment. More sophisti-

cated controllers can provide
access to data, such as power
source, voltage and frequency, contact position, time
delays and diagnostics.
ASCO Controllers also
can be integrated into a
connectivity network that
enables both on-site and
remote monitoring and
control.
The growing importance
of reliable on-site power
makes it worthwhile to
consider upgrading controllers for automatic transfer
switches.
Upgrades are comparatively simple to install and
require minimal downtime.
For relatively little Investment, older transfer switch-
ing equipment with properly
maintained electro-mechanical infrastructure can be
upgraded to take advantage
of additional functionality
and avoid controller obsolescence.
What capabilities do the
controllers on your power
switching and controls equipment have? More importantly, what capabilities don’t
they have?
It’s easy to compare
the monitoring and control
capabilities of ASCO Power
Transfer Switches.
Just determine which
controllers are on your equipment by using the chart on
this page. Then compare its
features to those of the latest
controller in the chart on
the opposite side of this data
sheet.
Upgrading to the latest
controller provides multiple
advantages for monitoring and controlling transfer
switches.
New features include a
user interface display and key
pad, engine exerciser, real
time clock, event log, voltage
unbalance sensing, communications and multiple
plug-in accessories, such as
the Power Manager.

Ribbon cable separates
and isolates the microprocessor logic board from the
power board, improving
electrical noise immunity and
helping assure compliance
with rigorous transient suppression standards.
