The Schneider Electric WATSNB‑800/800‑4CBR is a heavy‑duty low‑voltage dual power transfer switch designed for industrial and commercial electrical systems requiring reliable manual or automatic switching between two power sources. It provides safe and efficient switching of three‑phase power feeds to ensure continuity of supply when transitioning between primary and standby power. This model is configured for 800 A rated current on both input sources and features a 4‑pole switching arrangement to accommodate three phases and neutral in three‑phase systems. It is engineered for robustness, ease of operation, and integration into power distribution panels.
