It combines a limited-service controller and an automatic transfer switch in one assembly, for motors of 30 HP or less driving booster pumps or special fire service pumps where acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. Every FT20 is built to order, so we quote each one to your motor, voltage, enclosure and options.

The integrated automatic transfer switch moves the fire pump to an alternate power source, such as a generator, when the normal source fails, and the EPCT Fire touchscreen manages both the controller and the transfer switch from one display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e FT20 limited-service transfer switch controllers do not carry FM approval.
