Winning products—selected by the print and digital audience of Consulting- Specifying Engineer—were culled from a large field of finalists by qualified engineers and building professionals who specify products and systems for nonresidential facilities. Products were released in the 2016 calendar year, nominated in February 2017, and voted on by readers starting in April 2017.

Below is the announcement as it appears on the CSE website.

Automatic transfer switch

The contactor-based, UL 1008-listed automatic transfer switch (ATS) is specifically engineered for applications up to 3,000 amps. The contactor-based ATS is simple to operate and available in a broad selection of configurations and features to meet a wide array of application types. The ATS is engineered for enhanced safety and uptime, with the front door of the switch forming an isolated compartment. Upon opening the front door, service personnel can turn the maintenance-isolation switch and electrically isolate the control compartment while the transfer switch is energized. This design enhances safety in the working environment when performing inspection or routine maintenance.
