Transfer Switch


Woodward’s ATS (automatic transfer switch) controllers help you reduce complexity in terms of hardware, spacing, and component cost for new builds and retrofits. This is feasible, because our configurable software allows these applications to run from one controller:
Utility-to-Generator
Generator-to-Generator
Utility-to-Utility

This also includes delayed and closed transition modes, among other typical ATS-specific features. By using Woodward products, you can handle all ATS-relevant features by ordering one single device, which provides maximum value for your ATS application. For more simple applications, Woodward provides a basic version of an ATS controller.

Feature overview:

Configurable for open, delayed, and closed transition transfer
