Section 2: General Information

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the transfer switch. Inspect closely for

any damage that might have occurred during shipment.

The purchaser must file with the carrier any claims for

loss or damage incurred while in transit.

Check that all packing material is completely removed

from the switch prior to installation.

Equipment Description

This automatic transfer switch is used for transferring

electrical load from a utility (normal) power source to a

generator (standby) power source. Transfer of electrical

loads occurs automatically when the utility power source

has failed or is substantially reduced and the generator

source voltage and frequency have reached an

acceptable level. The transfer switch prevents electrical

feedback between two different power sources (such as

the utility and generator sources) and, for that reason,

codes require it in all standby electric system installations.

The transfer switch consists of a transfer mechanism,

utility service disconnect circuit breaker (if equipped), and

a Smart A/C module incorporating fuses and two terminal

blocks for transfer switch connections.

This UL/CUL listed transfer switch has locking provisions

for the utility entry cabinet. In addition, it has a lockout/

tagout provision for the service entrance circuit breaker.

Transfer Switch Mechanism

See Figure 2-1. This switch is used with a single-phase

system when the single-phase neutral line is to be

connected to a neutral lug and is not to be switched.

Solderless, screw-type terminal lugs are standard.

The conductor size range is as follows:

This transfer switch is suitable for control of motors, electric

discharge lamps, tungsten filament and electric heating

equipment where the sum of motor full load ampere ratings

and the ampere ratings of other loads do not exceed the

ampere rating of the switch and the tungsten load does not

exceed 30 percent of the switch rating.

This UL/CUL listed transfer switch is for use in optional

standby systems only.

A 100A rated switch is suitable for use on circuits capable

of delivering not more than 10,000 RMS symmetrical

amperes, 250 VAC maximum, when protected by a 100A

maximum circuit breaker (Siemens types QP or BQ) or

150A maximum circuit breaker (Square D Q2,

Westinghouse CA-CAH, General Electric TQ2 and

Siemens QJ2).

A 200A rated switch is suitable for use on a circuit

capable of 22,000 RMS symmetrical amperes, 240 VAC

when protected by a circuit breaker without an adjustable

short time response or by fuses.

– Load - ATS: 275 in-lbs. (31 Nm)

Transfer Switch Data Decal

See

Figure 2-2

. A data decal is permanently affixed to the

transfer switch enclosure. Use this transfer switch only

with the specific limits shown on the data decal and on

other decals and labels that may be affixed to the switch.

This will prevent damage to equipment and property.

When requesting information or ordering parts for this

equipment, make sure to include all information from the

data decal.

For future reference, record the Model and Serial numbers

in the space provided on the front cover of this manual.

Figure 2-2. Data Decal Location

Transfer Switch Enclosure

The standard switch enclosure is a National Electrical

Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) and UL/CUL 3R

type. UL/CUL and NEMA 3R (indoor/outdoor rated) type

enclosures primarily provide a degree of protection

against falling rain and sleet; are undamaged by the

formation of ice on the enclosure.

Safe Use of Transfer Switch

Before installing, operating or servicing this equipment,

read the Safety Rules carefully. Comply strictly with all

Safety Rules to prevent accidents and/or damage to the

equipment. The manufacturer recommends that a copy

of the Safety Rules be posted near the transfer switch.

Also, be sure to read all instructions and information

found on tags, labels and decals affixed to the

equipment.

Two publications that outline the safe use of transfer

switches are the following:

•Canadian Electrical Code CE; CSA C22.1

•NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety In The

Workplace

•UL/CUL 1008: Standard for Safety—Automatic

Transfer Switches

NOTE: It is essential to use the latest version of any

standard to guarantee correct and current information.

Load Management Options

Load management systems are designed to work

together to prevent a generator from being overloaded by

large appliance loads. A Smart A/C Module (SACM) is

provided as standard equipment with this switch. An

optional Smart Management Module (SMM) is also

available.
