WITHSTAND AND CLOSING RATINGS

FOR
TRANSFER SWITCH EQUIPMENT
ASCO products comply with all mandatory UL 1008 withstand

and closing ratings.
By using the information in this publication and calculating

available short circuit currents, the system designer can be assured
the transfer switches will be properly rated for the electrical system.
Internal
Introduction
This publication provides information on withstand and closing ratings (WCRs) for ASCO transfer switches and
related products, including compliance with the optional short time ratings and other revisions to UL 1008. Also
included are guidelines for special WCR applications and typical methods for specifying WCR requirements.
Guidelines for using the information in this publication

to verify suitability of switches for specific applications
based on withstand and closing ratings (WCR).
1. Determine the prospective fault current available (from each source) at the
location of the switch.
2. Determine the overcurrent protective devices (OPDs) that will be located ahead
of the switch.
3. If the OPD is a circuit breaker, refer to the “Time Based” rating column on
Table II of page 4. Select the switch rating necessary to handle the full load
current. Compare the fault current available at the switch source terminals to the
WCR shown in Table II for the applicable switch ampere size and voltage. If the
prospective fault current is equal to or less than the Time Based WCR from
Table II, the switch selected is suitable for the application.
4. If the prospective fault current is greater than the Time Based WCR obtained
from Table II, refer to the “Specific Breaker” list on Table III on pages 5-7.
Compare the fault current to the WCR shown in Table II. If the fault current is
equal to or less than the WCR shown in Table II, the switch is suitable for the
application when protected by any of the circuit breakers shown. If the specific
circuit breaker being used is not shown in the table, contact ASCO Power
Technologies.
5. If the prospective fault current is greater than the WCR listed in Table III, refer
to Special Application Considerations on page 8.
6. When the overcurrent protective devices are fuses refer to the “Current Limiting
Fuses” column of Table II on page 4. If there are any questions about the
suitability of the switch when protected by current limiting fuses contact ASCO
Power Technologies.

Emergency Codes often require equipment to be approved for its
Generator intended use. For example, one of the most common
applications for automatic transfer switches is in

Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA 70. Section 700-3
Automatic and 700-6 require that all transfer equipment be

3. Taxes. Unless otherwise set out in Seller’s proposal or quotation, prices do not include taxes, duties or any other governmental levies, all of which are payable by
Purchaser. Except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant Purchase Order, the price excludes all present or future sales taxes, revenue or excise taxes, value-added
taxes, import and export duties and any other taxes, surcharges or duties now existing or hereafter imposed by governmental authorities upon equipment and/or services
quoted by Seller. The Purchaser shall be responsible for all such taxes, duties and charges resulting from these Conditions of Sale or any associated purchase. Seller is
required to impose taxes on orders and shall invoice the Purchaser for such taxes and/or fees according to applicable law, statutes, or regulations, unless Purchaser furnishes
the Seller at the time of order with a properly completed exemption certificate(s) acceptable to the authorities imposing the tax or fees. Any changes in foreign exchange rates,
sales taxes, customs tariffs or other taxes shall be chargeable to the Purchaser.
4. Terms of Payment. Terms are net 30 days from date of invoice. Late payments will be subject to interest charges at the rate of two percent (2%) per month. If at
Purchaser’s request, shipments are delayed beyond the scheduled date, payments for the Products and Services completed to date will be invoiced to the Purchaser, as a
percentage of the total Purchase Order price when Seller was originally prepared to ship. Products held for the Purchaser shall be at the risk and expense of the Purchaser. If
shipment of Products and/or completion of Services is delayed more than 30 days after originally scheduled delivery date and not caused solely by Seller, Seller reserves the
right to ship all Products to the Purchaser who will accept responsibility for Products including payment. Failure to pay any applicable payment on its due date shall
automatically cause all installment amounts to become payable and in addition to Seller’s other lawful remedies, Seller reserves the right to suspend or cancel the PO. If
Purchaser fails to pay Seller for the Products and Services, Seller reserves the right to file in its sole discretion any liens, charges, security interests, or similar encumbrances
against the applicable property, building, land, or Products and Services and Purchaser consents to such filings and registrations. Purchaser shall be liable for all expenses,
including attorneys' fees, relating to the collection of past due amounts.
5. Delivery and Schedule. While Seller will use all reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the delivery date(s) and/or performance dates acknowledged or quoted by
Seller, all shipping dates and/or performance dates are approximate and not guaranteed.
6. Risk of loss. Unless otherwise specifically agreed by the Parties, the Products are delivered FCA Seller’s shipping point (Incoterms 2010) with Purchaser responsible for
all official export formalities, authorizations, risks and expenses as may be applicable for export from the country of shipment, and title and risk of loss or damage shall pass to
the Purchaser upon collection of the Products by the first carrier at Seller’s premises, plants or warehouses. Delivery of Products by Seller will be deemed to be made to the
Purchaser upon obtaining a signed receipt from the carrier showing receipt of the Products in good order.
7. Substitutions. Seller may furnish suitable substitutes for Products unobtainable because of priorities or regulations established by governmental authority or non-
availability of materials from suppliers, provided such substitutions do not adversely affect the technical soundness of the Products. Seller assumes no liability for deviation
from published dimensions and descriptive information not essential to proper performance of the Products.
8. Shortage. Claims for shortages or errors must be submitted to Seller within 30 days after invoice date, and failure to give such notice shall constitute unqualified
acceptance and a waiver of all such claims by the Purchaser.
9. Installments. Seller reserves the right to make shipments in installments, unless otherwise expressly stipulated in a specific Purchase Order; and all such installments
when separately invoiced shall be paid for when due per invoice without regard to subsequent shipments. Delay in shipment of any installment shall not relieve Purchaser of
its obligation to accept remaining shipments.
10. Force Majeure. Seller will be excused from and not be liable for any non-performance of a Purchase Order if such delay or non- performance is due to any cause
beyond the reasonable control of Seller, or which Seller could not reasonably foresee or reasonably provide against, and which prevents Seller from carrying out the terms of
the Purchase Order. This includes but is not limited to the following: war, revolution, insurrection or hostilities (whether declared or not), riot, economic upheaval, civil
commotion or uprising, flood, earthquake, tempest, hurricane, lightning or other natural disaster; fire or explosion; strike, lockout or other industrial disturbance whether at
Seller or one of its suppliers; sabotage, accident, embargo, car shortage, wrecks or delays in transportation, non-delivery of materials or order or action of government
authority. Any delay resulting from such cause shall extend the date of delivery accordingly. Seller reserves the right to cancel a Purchase Order, if in its opinion such
circumstances threaten or cause extended delay in the performance thereof.

to any Products or Services furnished by Seller to Purchaser and manufactured or provided in accordance with designs proposed by Purchaser, the Purchaser shall indemnify
Seller against any award made against Seller for patent, trademark, or copyright infringements.
14. Software. Any software or computer information, in whatever form that is provided with Products manufactured by Seller or as part of Services, is licensed to Purchaser
solely pursuant to standard licenses of Seller or its supplier of such software or computer information which licenses are hereby incorporated by reference and are available upon
request. Seller does not warrant that such software or computer information will operate error-free or without interruption, and warrants only that during the warranty period
applicable to the Products that the software will perform its essential functions. If such software or computer information fails to conform to such warranty, Seller will, at its
option, provide an update to correct the non-conformance or replace the software or computer information with the latest available version containing a correction. Seller shall
have no other obligation to provide updates or revisions.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENT TO THE
CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY FORM OF INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PRODUCTION, LOSS OF PRODUCT, LOSS OF
REVENUE, PROFITS OR LOSS OF DATA DAMAGES WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE IN CONTRACT OR TORT, IRRESPECTIVE OF FAULT, NEGLIGENCE OR
STRICT LIABILITY OR WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER
PROVISION OF THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENT TO THE CONTRARY, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF SELLER FOR DAMAGES HEREUNDER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY THE PURCHASER TO

PERFORMANCE AND THE REMEDIES OF PURCHASER SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXCLUSIVE.
16. Insurance. Seller shall maintain reasonable insurance coverage (e.g., commercial general liability, worker’s compensation, automobile) in such amounts as Seller
deems appropriate in accordance with industry practice. Certificate of insurance evidencing this may be provided on request.
17. Import and Export. Purchaser agrees that all Products and Services require proper compliance with import and export laws and administrative requirements including
the payment of all associated duties, taxes and fees.
18. Health and Safety; Compliance. Seller employees shall not perform Services that, in their sole opinion, are not free of reasonably foreseeable harm. This includes
working on any equipment, whether provided by Seller, Purchaser or otherwise, that in such Seller employees’ sole opinion has not been placed in an electrically safe working
condition. Purchaser warrants that site and working conditions shall meet or exceed those specified by applicable Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations.
Purchaser shall inform Seller of: (a) Known hazards, or reasonably foreseeable hazards, that are related to Seller’s scope of Services and the site where the Services will be
performed; and (b) Information about the worksite necessary to identify hazards and assess risk for the protection of the health and safety of Seller personnel. This information
might include, but is not limited to: (i) Providing an accurate up-to-date single line diagram of the electrical distribution system; (ii) Providing relevant Workplace Hazardous
Materials Information System (WHMIS) information such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and floor plans indicating areas where hazardous materials are located and
emergency exits for service rooms and other areas of operation; and (iii) Other site specific information relative to the Purchaser’s operation, process and safety systems. Any
hazardous materials requiring remediation in Seller’s sole opinion will be separately chargeable to Purchaser and will be a condition precedent to Seller’s performance of such
Services. If the Purchaser has concerns related to ethics, compliance or ASCO Power/Schneider Electric’s Principles of Responsibility, and/or any potential violations of
these policies, Purchaser is welcome to make use of Schneider Electric’s GreenLine. The GreenLine is Schneider Electric’s global helpline for external stakeholders. It is a

19. Witness of Tests & Factory Inspections. Normal production schedules do not provide the opportunity for Purchaser to witness routine factory tests on Products or
make factory inspections. Witnessing of tests or factory inspections by the Purchaser may result in delays of production for which Seller will not be responsible and which may
result in additional charges and delayed scheduling to Purchaser. Witness testing and factory inspections must be requested at time of quotation, are subject to additional
costs and must be confirmed at Purchase Order entry. Standard Seller factory testing and inspection will apply. Seller will notify Purchaser fourteen (14) calendar days prior to
scheduled witness testing or inspection. In the event Purchaser is unable to attend, the Parties may mutually agree on a rescheduled date. However, Seller, at its sole option,
may consider the witness tests or inspection waived, and ship and invoice the Products and the witness testing charges. Purchaser will be responsible for paying for all
scheduled witness testing, whether or not Purchaser attends.
20. Patterns and Tools. Notice will be given if special patterns or tools are required to complete any Purchase Order. Charges for such patterns or tools do not convey title
thereto or the right to remove them from Seller’s plant. If patterns or tools are not used for a period of two years, Seller shall have the right to scrap them without notice.
21. Nuclear Applications. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by a duly authorized representative of Seller, Products sold hereunder are not intended for use in or in
connection with any nuclear facility or activity. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that such Products shall not be used in or in connection with any nuclear facility or
activity. If so used, Seller disclaims all liability for any damage, injury or contamination; and Purchaser agrees and indemnifies Seller against any such liability, whether arising
as a result of breach of contract, warranty or tort (including negligence) or otherwise.
22. Nature of Relationship. Purchaser agrees that Seller is an independent contractor and nothing in these Conditions of Sale creates between Seller and Purchaser a
relationship of partners, joint venturers, or agents of each other, and no Party may so represent itself any of these manners.
23. Termination. Any Purchase Order may be terminated by the Purchaser only upon 30 days’ notice to Seller and upon payment of reasonable and proper termination
charges based on the price of the terminated Purchase Order and reimbursement of all costs and expenses associated with the order caused by such termination and shall
include a reasonable profit. Special or custom ordered Products is not cancelable after final acceptance or approval of drawings for the commencement of manufacturing.
24. Cancellation. Seller shall have the right to cancel any Purchase Order at any time by written notice for any material breach of these Conditions of Sale by the
Purchaser, including material delays by Purchaser or its authorized representatives in releasing Products for manufacture or approval drawings and excessive changes to
specifications or drawings.
25. Amendments. No amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination of the Purchase Order or these Conditions of Sale is binding unless executed in writing
by both parties.
26. Applicable Laws. All matters arising out of or relating to the execution, construction, interpretation or breach thereof, are to be governed by the laws of the
state of New Jersey, excluding (i) such jurisdiction’s rules regarding conflicts of laws, and (ii) the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods. Seller agrees to bring any action claims or legal proceedings in any way pertaining to this Purchase Order, or the execution, construction, interpretation or
breach thereof in the courts of the jurisdiction specified above and in no other court or tribunal whatsoever. No action, regardless of form, arising out of transactions relating
to this contract, may be brought by either party more than two (2) years after the cause of action has accrued.
27. Indemnity. Each party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from loss, damage, liability or expense resulting from damage to personal property of a third
party, or injuries, including death, to third parties to the extent caused by a negligent act or omission of the party providing indemnification or a party’s subcontractors, agents
or employees during performance of services hereunder. Such indemnification shall be reduced to the extent damage or injuries are attributable to others. The indemnifying
party shall defend the other party in accordance with and to the extent of the above indemnification, provided that the indemnifying party is: (i) promptly notified by the other
party, in writing, of any claims, demands or suits for such damages or injuries; (ii) given all reasonable information and assistance by the other party; (iii) given full control over
any resulting negotiation, arbitration or litigation, including the right to choose counsel and settle claims, or the indemnifying party’s obligations herein shall be deemed waived.
DISCLAIMER: The Purchaser acknowledges that the products or part thereof are produced in, or otherwise sourced from, or will be installed areas already affected by, or that
may be affected in the future by, the prevailing COVID-19 epidemics/pandemic and that the situation may trigger stoppage, hindrance or delays in Seller’s (or its
subcontractors) capacity to produce, deliver, install or service the products, irrespective of whether such stoppage, hindrance or delays are due to measures imposed by
authorities or deliberately implemented by the Seller (or its subcontractors) as preventive or curative measures to avoid harmful contamination exposure of Seller’s (or its
subcontractors’) employees. The Purchaser therefore recognizes that such circumstances shall be considered as a cause for excusable delay not exposing the Seller to
contractual sanctions including without limitation delay penalties, liquidated or other damages or termination for default.
