1.0 Introduction

Hubbell’s non-automatic, LX-440, and automatic, LX-450, transfer switches are available in 2, 3, and 4
pole models with ampere ratings of 100 to 1250 A. The transfer switches are available as open type or
in an individual cabinet.

The automatic transfer switch has a Solid State Transfer Control Module, LX-301, that monitors voltage
and controls the transfer to and from the normal and emergency sources. The non-automatic transfer
switch has a selector switch to manually initiate transfer. A handle is included with all transfer switches
to manually close the normal or emergency contacts.
