Cummins OTEC Spec C 277/480V 3-Phase 4-Pole 225A Transfer Switch
225A, 277/480V, 4-pole open-transition ATS for commercial and light industrial standby power. Electrically operated, mechanically held, break-before-make switching with dual mechanical and electrical interlocking. 4-pole design switches all three phase conductors plus neutral — required for separately derived systems. NEMA 3R enclosure rated for indoor and outdoor installation. Not service rated.
Breaker Rating Update — September 2025: Cummins issued revised Withstand Closing Breaker Ratings for the Spec C family. UL and CUL listing confirmed August 14, 2025. AHJ documentation available in PDFs below.
Features & Benefits
PC40-11 Controller Microprocessor-based. Backlit LCD. Soft-touch keypad. Front panel or PC configuration. Ships with Modbus RTU and TCP. Configurable I/O. Programmable exercise scheduler included.
Voltage Imbalance Sensing Monitors all three phases on both sources. Catches imbalance conditions beyond standard over/under voltage limits.
Phase Rotation Monitoring Confirms correct phase sequence on both sources before every transfer. Blocks transfer to a miswired or out-of-sequence source.
4-Pole Switching Switches neutral and all three phase conductors simultaneously. Meets NEC 700, 701, and 702 requirements for separately derived systems.
Contact Assembly Silver alloy main contacts under high closing pressure. Dedicated arcing contacts protect main contacts from switching wear. Multi-layer arc chutes extinguish arcs after each operation. UL 1008 certified — contacts included.
NEMA 3R Enclosure Rated for rain, sleet, and external ice. Suitable for rooftops, outdoor generator pads, and exposed mechanical spaces.
Field-Install Options Remote annunciator — Load shedding — Integral control power supply — Ethernet/Modbus TCP module — Anticondensation heater — Auxiliary contact expansion (8 or 16 configurable contact sets)
