Section 1 Specifications
1.1 Purpose
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) transfers critical
electrical loads from a normal (preferred) source of
electrical power to an emergency (standby) source
when the normal source fails to maintain a minimum
voltage level.
When the normal source fails, the ATS signals the
generator set(s) to start. When the emergency source
reaches a minimum voltage level, the ATS transfers the
load from the normal source to the emergency source.
The ATS continuously senses the normal source and
transfers the load back to the normal source when the
normal source returns. After transfer of the load back to
the normal source, the ATS removes the generator set
start signal, allowing the generator set(s) to shut down.
1.2 Component Overview
The ATS components include the power switching
device (contactor), the electrical controls, and the
exerciser. See Figure 1-1.
The power switching device transfers power from the
normal or emergency sources to the load. See
Figure 1-2. The electrical controls electrically actuate
the switch to select a power source, and the switch
mechanically latches into the selected position. The
switch also includes a provision for manual mechanical
operation in emergency nonpowered conditions.
The electrical controls monitor power sources, control
the contactor, and signal the generator to start when
needed. The exerciser runs the generator set weekly if
enabled.

Figure 1-1 ATS Components
The power switch contains two sets of multipole
contacts. One set of contacts selects power from the
normal source and the other set selects power from the
emergency source. Mechanical interlocks within the
switch ensure that only one set of contacts is closed at a
time ensuring load servicing without cross-coupling of
power sources.

TP-5990 11/03 5Section 2 Operation
Section 2 Operation
2.1 Automatic Operation
The ATS controller monitors the normal and emergency
power sources and determines when a power source
has failed or is acceptable and controls the system
accordingly. Built-in time delays ensure that the power
source is stable before the load is transferred.
Failure of a power source occurs when its voltage on
one or more phases falls below the dropout voltage
level. A power source is acceptable when its voltage on
one ormore phases rises above the pickup voltage level
and stays above the dropout voltage level. A power
source is restored when it becomes acceptable again
after failure. SeeSection 1.5, Specifications, for voltage
sensing and pickup and dropout voltage specifications.
Typical ATS operation occurs in two separate automatic
sequences.
Failure of normal power and the resulting transfer to
emergency power.
Restoration of normal power and the resulting
transfer back to normal power.
2.1.1 Failure of Normal Power
When the normal power source fails, the controller
starts a time delay called Time Delay Engine Start
(TDES). See Figure 2-1 for ATS time delays. TDES
prevents unnecessary generator start-up during short
normal power interruptions. If the normal power source
is restored before TDES ends, the controller resets the
time delay. If the normal power failure persists and
TDES ends, the controller issues a signal to start the
standby (emergency) generator to produce the
emergency power source.
After signalling the generator to start, the controller
monitors the emergency power source. When the
controller determines that the emergency source is
acceptable, the controller starts a time delay called Time
Delay Normal to Emergency (TDNE). TDNE allows
emergency power source stabilization before load
connection. When TDNE ends, the controller signals
the contactor to connect the load to the emergency
source.
After load transfer the switchmechanically latches in the
emergency position, supplying emergency source
power to the load until normal power source restoration
and stabilization.
2.1.2 Restoration of Normal Power
When the normal power source is restored, the controller
starts a time delay called Time Delay Emergency to
Normal (TDEN). If the normal source fails before TDEN
ends, the time delay resets. TDEN ensures normal
power source stabilization before load reconnection.
When the controller determines that the normal power
source has maintained an acceptable level and TDEN
ends, the controller signals the contactor to reconnect
the load to the normal source.
After load transfer the switchmechanically latches in the
normal position and the controller starts a 2-minute time
delay called Time Delay Engine Cooldown (TDEC).
TDEC allows the engine and generator to run unloaded
and cool down before shutdown. When TDEC ends, the
controller signals the generator set to shut down.
Time Delay Duration
Engine Start (TDES) 3 seconds
Normal to Emergency (TDNE) 2 seconds
Emeergency to Normal (TDEN) 12 seconds
Engine Cooldown (TDEC) 2 minutes
Figure 2-1 Time Delays
TP-5990 11/036 Section 2 Operation
2.2 Exerciser Function
The exerciser function, when enabled, automatically
starts and runs the generator set unloaded (the ATSdoes
not transfer the load to the emergency source) for
20 minutes once a week. Exercising the generator set
helps to ensure that the generator set starts when
emergency power is needed. An exerciser switch selects
exerciser functions. Automatic operation overrides the
exerciser function. The loss of all power sources for an
extended period can result in the loss of the exerciser set
time. See Section 2.2.2, Exerciser Power Requirements.
2.2.1 Exerciser Switch
An exerciser switch is located inside the ATS enclosure.
See Figure 1-1 and Figure 2-2.

Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
DANGER
Short circuits. Hazardous voltage/current can cause
severe injury or death. Short circuits can cause bodily injury
and/or equipment damage. Do not contact electrical
connections with tools or jewelry whilemaking adjustments or
repairs. Remove all jewelry before servicing the equipment.
Note: The exerciser switch is set during installation and
normally does not require adjustment. Line
voltage is present on some components inside
the ATS enclosure when power sources are
applied. Only trained and qualified personnel
should open the ATS enclosure when power is
present. Read and follow all safety decals inside
the enclosure and avoid contact with line voltage.
The exerciser switch selects the following exerciser
functions when power is available. See Section 2.2.2,
Exerciser Power Requirements.
Set ( ). Placing the switch in the set position and
releasing the switch sets the exerciser: the
exerciser’s internal one-week timer is reset and the
exerciser starts and runs the generator set for a
20-minute period. Subsequent weekly 20-minute
exercise periods start at the same day and time the
exerciser was set.
Run ( ). Returning the switch to the run position
enables the exerciser. The controller starts and runs
the generator set unloaded for 20 minutes on the
same day and time each week the exerciser was set.
Disable ( ). Placing the switch in the disable
position prevents the exerciser from starting and
running the generator. The exerciser’s internal
one-week timer continues to run and the exerciser’s
set day and time are not lost. The ATS, however,
starts the generator automatically when the normal
power source fails.
Replace the enclosure cover on the ATS enclosure and
tighten the screws that hold it in place after viewing or
making changes to the exerciser switch setting.
2.2.2 Exerciser Power Requirements
An internal one-week timer for the exerciser function
maintains its setting for up to 90 seconds after power
loss on both the normal and emergency sources. When
the normal power source fails, the generator must start
and run to provide emergency power within
approximately 90 seconds or the system loses the
previously set day and time for the exerciser.
When power loss on both the normal and emergency
power sources lasts longer than approximately
90 seconds, the exerciser is set to the day and time that
either power source returns. Then, if the exerciser
switch is in the Run ( ) position, the controller starts
and runs the generator set unloaded for 20 minutes one
week from the day and time of power source return and
on subsequent weeks at the same day and time.
TP-5990 11/03 7Section 2 Operation

for installing the transfer switch outdoors.
Cable sizes are shown in Section 1.6, Application Data,
and on the transfer switch specification sheet.
Before connecting wiring cables to terminal lugs,
remove surface oxides from cables by cleaning with a
wire brush. If using aluminum conductors, apply a joint
compound to cables. After tightening terminal lugs,
carefully wipe off excess joint compound.
Connection points for the normal power, emergency
power, and load are clearly marked on the transfer
switch and drawings. See Section 4. Be sure to heed
the phase markings (A, B, C, and N).
Note: Connect source and load phases as indicated by
the markings and drawings. Improper
connections may cause short circuits or cause
phase-sensitive load devices to malfunction or
operate in reverse.
Note: When making power connections to the power
switching device, leave sufficient slack in the
power leads to reach all of the power connecting
lugs.
Connect the normal, emergency, and load conductors to
the clearly marked terminals on the contactor. Verify
that all connections are consistent with drawings before
tightening the contactor terminal lugs. Tighten the
connections to the torque values shown in Figure 5-3.

5.5 Initial Startup and Setup
Perform the following procedures before placing the
transfer switch into normal service.
5.5.1 Manually Select the Normal
Position
Manually operate the contactor to the normal position by
following steps 1 through 3 in Section 2.3.
5.5.2 Select the Exerciser Function and
Close the Enclosure
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
DANGER
Move the exerciser switch to the Run ( ) position to
enable the weekly generator exerciser. Move the
exerciser switch to the Disable ( ) position to disable
the weekly exerciser. See Section 2.2. Replace the
transfer switch enclosure cover and tighten the screws
that hold it in place.
5.5.3 Prepare the Generator Set for
Operation
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
are in place.
Moving rotor.
WARNING
Prepare the emergency power source generator set for
operation. Check the oil level, coolant level, fuel supply,
batteries, and items specified by the generator set
installation or operation checklist or manual.
Reconnect generator engine start battery cables,
negative (--) leads last; reconnect power to the
generator engine start battery chargers, if installed; and
move the generator set master switch to the AUTO
(automatic) position. The generator set should start.
5.5.4 Connect the Power Sources
Note: Close and secure the transfer switch enclosure
cover before applying power.
Connect the normal and emergency power sources to
the transfer switch by closing upstream circuit breakers
or switches.
When power is applied to the transfer switch, the engine
start contacts remain closed and the generator set
continues to run at least until Time Delay Engine
Cooldown (TDEC) ends.
If the transfer switch determines that the normal power
source is acceptable, the transfer switch runs the
generator set for TDEC and then signals the generator
set to shut down by opening the engine start contacts.
The Engine Start LED lights.
If the transfer switch determines that the normal power
source is unacceptable at any time, the transfer switch
begins an automatic sequence to transfer the load to the
emergency source as if TDES had ended. The engine
start contacts remain closed and the generator set
continues to run. See Section 2.1.1.
The transfer switch sets the exerciser function when
power is first applied. If the exerciser switch is in the
Run ( ) position, the first exercise period occurs one
week after power is first applied and on subsequent
weeks at the same day and time. See Section 2.2.
5.5.5 Perform a System Test
With normal power present, test the system by
disconnecting the normal power source and verifying
that the system responds as described in Section 2.1.1,
starting the generator set automatically and transferring
the load to the emergency power source. When the
transfer switch has transferred the load to the
emergency source, reconnect the normal power source
and verify that the system operates as described in
Section 2.1.2, retransferring the load to the normal
source and shutting down the generator set after TDEC.
5.5.6 Complete the Installation
Ensure that the normal and emergency power sources
are connected to the transfer switch. To set the
exerciser to a different day and time, see Section 2.2.
Replace the cover on the transfer switch enclosure and
tighten the screws that hold it in place.
TP-5990 11/0324 Section 5 Installation
5.5.7 Ensure Warranty Registration
The transfer switch seller must complete a Start-up
Notification Form and submit it to the manufacturer
within 60 days of the initial start-up date. The Start-up
Notification Form covers all equipment in the standby
