Schneider Electric TA80D3S8004TPE TransferPacT 3P 800 A 400 V Rotary Automatic Transfer Switch

The TA80D3S8004TPE is a Schneider Electric TransferPacT automatic transfer switch rated 800 A at 400 V AC, 3-pole, built on the 800 A frame and fitted with a rotary controller. It switches a load between two independent AC sources without an external controller, holding 800 A continuously at 60 degrees C ambient inside a distribution panel.

Selection Notes

The rotary controller on the TA80D3S8004TPE sets source priority and timers through a rotary/dip switch on the front, a simpler interface for panels where the switch position rarely needs reconfiguration. At 800 A, the TA80D3S8004TPE runs its 800 A frame at full rated current with no spare capacity margin. The 3-pole configuration switches the phase conductors only, with the neutral left solid, a choice that follows the earthing arrangement (TN-C-S vs TN-S) of the installation it serves. The 400 V AC rated Icm of 40 kA alone (330 kA backed by an upstream protective device) sets how much fault current the switch can close onto without welding its contacts, a figure to check against the available short-circuit current at the installation point.

Applications

TransferPacT automatic transfer switches of this type change the power source for life-safety and continuity loads such as fire-fighting equipment, smoke extraction fans, sprinkler pumps and emergency lighting, and are used in industrial and commercial buildings, data centers, healthcare facilities and transportation infrastructure where an uninterrupted supply between two sources is required.
