GE MX150

Product Overview

The GE MX150 is a microprocessor-based controller designed for GE Zenith ZTG/ZTGD/ZTGSE/ZTGDSE series automatic transfer switches (ATS), serving as the core control unit for emergency and standby power systems. It replaces the legacy MX100 controller and integrates a microprocessor board, LCD/keypad interface, and isolated I/O for seamless interaction with dual power sources (S1: normal, S2: emergency). The controller monitors voltage, frequency, and phase synchronization of both sources, automatically transferring loads to the backup source when the normal source fails, and retransferring once the normal source stabilizes within preset parameters.
