The Schneider Electric TA10D2S0803TPE is an automatic transfer switch from the TransferPacT range, rated 80 A at 230 V AC 50/60 Hz with 2 poles. It is classed as a PC-type transfer switch per IEC 60947-6-1, meaning it is designed for full-rated switching without overcurrent protection built in — the upstream breaker handles fault clearing. The 80 A rating at 60 °C free-air thermal current (Ith) means it carries continuous load at that temperature without derating, which is the real-world number for panel builders sizing the feeder. The front face carries IP40 in auto mode; inside the enclosure the live parts are IP20. The rotary selector switch gives local manual override, and the mechanical interlock prevents both sources closing simultaneously.
The TA10D2S0803TPE is rated AC-32B utilization category — that is the standard for mixed resistive and motor loads under 100 A. It is not a general-purpose contactor; it is a source-transfer switch, so the AC-32B rating means it handles the inrush of small motors and lighting loads when transferring between normal and standby sources. Short-circuit making capacity (Icm) is 15 kA at 400 V AC for the switch-disconnector alone, and 75 kA with an upstream circuit breaker. That 75 kA figure tells the panel designer the ATS can be coordinated with a high-interrupting-capacity breaker upstream — common in services where fault current exceeds 25 kA. The short-time withstand (Icw) is 5 kA for 0.1 s, enough for the upstream breaker to clear a bolted fault without welding the switch contacts. The 6 kV impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) on both switch and controller confirms it survives surge events on a 230 V AC supply without flashover.
