Section 1: Introduction

1.1 Preliminary Comments and Safety Precautions

This technical document is intended to cover most aspects associ-

ated with the installation, application, operation, and maintenance

of transfer switch equipment with ratings from 800 through

3200 amperes (A), except for the specific logic used to control

the equipment. It is provided as a guide for authorized and quali-

fied personnel only. Please refer to the specific WARNING and

CAUTION in Section 1.1.2 before proceeding. If further informa-

tion is required by the purchaser regarding a particular installation,

application, or maintenance activity, contact an Eaton representa-

tive. For information associated with the control, refer to the sep-

arate instruction book pertaining to the logic package installed in

the switch.

1.1.1 Warranty and Liability Information

No warranties, expressed or implied, including warranties of fit-

ness for a particular purpose of merchant-ability, or warranties

arising from course of dealing or usage of trade, are made regard-

ing the information, recommendations and descriptions contained

herein. In no event will Eaton be responsible to the purchaser or

user in contract, in tort (including negligence), strict liability or

otherwise for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential

damage or loss whatsoever, including but not limited to damage or

loss of use of equipment, plant or power system, cost of capital,

loss of power, additional expenses in the use of existing power

facilities, or claims against the purchaser or user by its customers

resulting from the use of the information and descriptions con-

tained herein.

1.1.2 Safety Precautions

All safety codes, safety standards, and/or regulations must be

strictly observed in the installation, operation, and maintenance of

this device.

.

1.2 General Information

Transfer switches are used to protect critical electrical loads

against loss of power. The Source 1 power source of the load is

backed-up by a Source 2 power source. A transfer switch is con-

nected to both the Source 1 and Source 2 power sources and sup-

plies the load with power from one of these two sources. In the

event that power is lost from the Source 1 power source, the

transfer switch transfers the load to the Source 2 power source.

This transfer can be automatic or manual, depending upon the

type of transfer switch equipment being used. Once Source 1

power is restored, the load is automatically or manually trans-

ferred back to the Source 1 power source, again depending upon

the type of transfer equipment being used (Figure 2).

In addition, the Eaton closed transition transfer switch may be

applied where it is desirable to avoid any momentary power inter-

ruptions. Although the closed transition switch is not a substitute

for an uninteruptable power source (UPS), it does eliminate power

interruptions to loads except to those caused by power sources or

equipment external to the transfer switch. If both sources are

acceptable as determined by the IQ Transfer logic, a make-before-

break transfer is performed during a transfer test or retransfer

operation.

1.2.1 Transfer Switch Types

There are four types of transfer switch equipment.

Automatic Transfer Switch

Automatic transfer switches (ATSs) automatically perform the

transfer function. They consist of three basic elements:

1. Main contacts to connect and disconnect the load to and from

the source of power.

2. Intelligence/supervisory circuits to constantly monitor the con-

dition of the power sources and thus provide the intelligence

necessary for the switch and related circuit operation.

3. A transfer mechanism to effect the transfer of the main con-

tacts from source to source.

Basic Transfer Switch (Power Panel)

The basic transfer switch is designed for use with customer fur-

nished logic. It is similar in design to the automatic version,

except the intelligence circuit (logic panel) and voltage selection

panel are omitted. All control devices are the customer’s

responsibility.

Figure 2. Typical Load Transfer Switch (Switching Device Type)

Schematic.

Non-Automatic Transfer Switch (Electrically Operated)

Non-automatic transfer switches are manually initiated, electrically

operated devices for applications where automatic load transfer is

not required.

Bypass Isolation Transfer Switch

The bypass isolation switch is designed for applications where

maintenance, inspection, and testing must be performed while

maintaining continuous power to the load (Figures 3 and 4). This

is typically required in critical life support systems and standby

power situations calling for safe system maintenance with no

power disruptions. Such a design allows for the quick removal of

the different switching devices for inspection, maintenance, or

replacement.

The ATS, non-automatic transfer switch (electrically operated),

and bypass isolation transfer switch are the available types for the

configuration described in this manual.

Operation of the ATS and the bypass isolation switch only are dis-

cussed in this manual (Sections 5 and 7 respectively).

1.2.2 Design Configuration

The Eaton transfer switch is a rugged, compact design utilizing

insulated case switches or insulated case circuit breakers to trans-

fer essential loads from one power source to another. Open tran-

sition switching devices are interlocked to prevent both switching

devices from being closed at the same time. The versatile design,

in addition to standard transfer functions, offers an optional inte-

gral thermal and short circuit protection in either or both switching

devices.

The switching devices are in a compact vertical arrangement. The

logic can be easily disconnected from the switching device with-

out disturbing critical connections. The enclosure is free standing,

and, by using the specially supplied cleats, the switch is seismic

approved (Option 42). The terminals are mounted in the rear of

the switch, permitting rear, top, bottom, or side cable or bus bar

entrance.

The switching devices have a high withstand rating (Table 1). The

high-speed, stored-energy switching mechanism guarantees a

transfer time of less than 5 cycles.

1.3 Magnum Fixed and Drawout Switching Devices

1.3.1 General Magnum Switching Device

The Magnum switching devices used in the Magnum transfer

switches are air switching devices utilizing an electronic tripping

system. They are available in both fixed and drawout versions,

both of which are used in the Magnum transfer switch depending

on the specific transfer switch ordered.

Figure 5. The Magnum Fixed Switching Device.

Figure 6. The Magnum Drawout Switching Device.

The Magnum transfer switches are available in the following con-

figurations:

Table 2. Magnum Transfer Switch Configurations

All Magnum switching devices are 100% rated, Underwriters Lab-

oratories (UL) listed, and are built and tested in an ISO 9002 certi-

fied facility to applicable NEMA, ANSI, IEEE, and UL standards.

For more information on Magnum switching devices, consult the

Magnum switching device manual supplied with the transfer

switch.

The main difference between the fixed and drawout versions of

the Magnum switching devices used in the Magnum transfer

switch is the mounting method. Fixed switching devices are

bolted directly into the transfer switch frame while drawout

switching devices are mounted in an extendable carriage within

the transfer switch, allowing the switching device to be “drawn

out” for service, maintenance, and/or replacement.

1.3.2 Magnum Drawout Switching Devices

The Magnum drawout switching device is a design having three

positions with the compartment door closed (CONNECT, TEST,

DISCONNECT) and one position out of its compartment on the

extendable carriage rails (REMOVE). The Magnum drawout

switching device is equipped with both primary and secondary dis-

connects to provide for the drawout functioning. The operating

mechanism is a two-step, stored energy mechanism, either manu-

ally or electrically operated. When withdrawn on the extendable

carriage rails, Magnum switching devices can be inspected, acces-

sory items added, and minor maintenance performed. The inside

of the compartment can also be inspected with the switching

device withdrawn on the extendable carriage rails.

Figure 9. Drawout Switching Device Fully Extended from the

Magnum Transfer Switch.

1.3.3 Magnum Fixed Switching Devices

The Magnum fixed type switching device differs from the drawout

version in that it has no levering device, primary disconnects, and

secondary disconnects.

Page 8Effective: March 2007 Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches

In addition, a fixed switching device does not have a standard fea-

ture to hold the switching device in a “trip-free” position.

Magnum fixed switching device terminals have holes for making

bolted horizontal primary bus connections. Adapters are available

for making vertical primary bus connections. Secondary connec-

tions can be made through standard terminal blocks or a special

connector compatible with the drawout switching device’s type

secondary connector. Both secondary connection devices are

mounted at the top front of the switching device.

The Magnum fixed switching devices have two mounting feet,

one on each side, to permit the switching device to be securely

mounted to the transfer switch frame. Each mounting foot has

two slotted mounting holes to facilitate mounting.

1.4 Transfer Switch Catalog Number Identification

Transfer switch equipment catalog numbers provide a significant

amount of relevant information that pertains to a particular piece

of equipment. The catalog number identification table (Table 3)

provides the required interpretation information. An example for

an open transition switch is offered to initially simplify the pro-

cess.

Example: Catalog Number (circled numbers correspond to position

headings in Table 3).

The catalog number ATVIMGB33200XRU describes an ATS with

the switching devices mounted vertically in the enclosure. The

intelligence, represented by the ATC-400/ATC-600/ATC-800, is a

microprocessor-based logic package. The Magnum Breaker is used

as the switching device and is a 3-pole molded case breaker for

each source. The continuous current rating of this equipment is

3200 A and is applicable at 480/277 Vac, 60 Hz. The transfer

switch equipment is enclosed in a NEMA 3R enclosure and is

listed for Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards

Association (CSA) applications.

Section 2: Receiving, Handling, and Storage

2.1 Receiving

Every effort is made to ensure that the transfer switch equipment

arrives at its destination undamaged and ready for installation.

Crating and packing is designed to protect internal components as

well as the enclosure. Transfer switch enclosures are skid

mounted and suited for fork lift movement. Care should be exer-

cised, however, to protect the equipment from impact at all times.

Do not remove the protective packaging until the equipment is at

the installation location and ready for installation.

When the transfer switch equipment reaches its destination, the

customer should inspect the shipping container for any obvious

signs of rough handling and/or external damage incurred during

transportation. Record any external and internal damage observed

for reporting to the transportation carrier and Eaton, once a thor-

ough inspection is completed. All claims should be as specific as

possible and include the Shop Order and General Order numbers.

A shipping label is affixed to the top of the shipping container

which includes a variety of equipment and customer information,

such as General Order Number (GO #) and Catalog Number

(Cat #). Make certain that this information matches other ship-

ping paper information.

Each transfer switch enclosure is bolted to a rigid wooden pallet.

The pallet is open at two ends for movement by a fork lift. The

shipment is secured and further protected with shrink wrap. Do

not discard the packing material until the equipment is ready for

installation.

A plastic bag of documents will be found within the enclosure,

usually attached to the inside of the door. Important documents,

such as test reports, wiring diagrams, and appropriate instruction

leaflets, are enclosed within the bag and should be filed in a safe

place.

2.2 Handling

As previously mentioned, the transfer switch equipment is pack-

aged for fork lift movement. Protect the equipment from impact

at all times and DO NOT double stack. Once the equipment is at

the installation location and ready for installation, the packaging

material can be removed. Once the enclosure is unbolted from the

wooden pallet, it can be installed using the lifting provision located

on the top of the structure. Be careful not to damage the top or

bottom enclosure mounting flanges. Refer to Section 4 of this

manual for specific installation instructions.

2.3 Storage

Although well packaged, this equipment is not suitable for storage

outdoors. The equipment warranty will not be applicable if there

is evidence of outdoor storage. If the equipment is to be stored

indoors for any period of time, it should be stored with its protec-

tive packaging material in place. Protect the equipment at all

times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive condi-

tions, and other contaminants.

It is strongly suggested that the package-protected equipment be

stored in a climate controlled environment of -20° to 85°C

(-4° to 185°F) with a relative humidity of 80% or less. DO NOT,

under any circumstances, stack other equipment on top of a trans-

fer switch equipment enclosure, whether packaged or not.

Section 3: Equipment Description

3.1 General

This Eaton transfer switch equipment is available in four different

configurations:

•ATS (Closed and Open transition);

•Non-Automatic (Electrically Operated) (Open Transition Only);

•Bypass Isolation Transfer Switch (Open and Closed Transition);

and

•Power Panel.

Refer to Section 1 for a discussion of all four types. Each transfer

switch is usually supplied in an enclosure, although unmounted

sub-assemblies can be supplied for mounting by the customer.

The enclosed ATS is the only specific type that will be discussed

in this section.

Figure 11. Typical Power Panel (Open Transition Shown).

The enclosed ATS consists of three basic panels interconnected

through connector plugs and mounted in an enclosure:

•Power Panel;

•Voltage Selection Panel; and

•Logic Panel

•ATC-600 (open transition only)

•ATC-800 (closed transition only).

IB01602011E For more information visit: www.Eaton.com

Instructional Booklet

Effective: March 2007 Page 11

Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches

The components comprising the three panels are installed in accor-

dance with the specific requirements of the circuit being controlled.

Each transfer switch is, therefore, tailor-made to a specific applica-

tion.

3.2 Power Panel

The power panel consists of a means for making load, power, and

neutral connections. The main contacts and the transfer mecha-

nism are all on one steel frame (Figure 12). The actual power con-

nections are shown in Figure 13.

Figure 12. Insulated Case Switching Device.

3.2.1 Main Contacts

The main contacts connect and disconnect the load to and from

the different power sources. High withstand insulated case

switches are the main contacts for the Source 1 and Source 2

power sources in standard, unmodified ATSs. Optional integral

thermal and short circuit protection in either or both switching

devices is available (Section 3.6). These continuous duty devices

are rated for all classes of loads. In addition, they have high

dielectric strength, heavy-duty switching and withstand capabili-

ties, and high interrupting capacity.

3.2.2 Switch Interlocks (Open Transition Only)

Eaton transfer switches are mechanically and electrically inter-

locked to prevent the two sets of main contacts from being closed

simultaneously.

3.2.3 Drawout Interlocks

The standard closed transition ATS is not provided with a

mechanical interlock. All bypass switching devices are mechani-

cally interlocked to the drawout mechanism to ensure that the

switching device is always open when connecting or disconnect-

ing it from the line and load stabs when in the bypass mode.

All open transition switching devices are mechanically interlocked

to the drawout mechanism to ensure that the switching device is

always open when connecting or disconnecting it from the line

and load stabs.

The switching device will close only in the DISCONNECT, TEST,

and CONNECT positions.

Page 12 Effective: March 2007 Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches

3.2.4 TRANSFER MECHANISM

The transfer switch uses Eaton Magnum insulated case switching

devices and insulated case switches with a stored-energy mecha-

nism. An electrical operator automatically recharges the mecha-

nism after the switching device has been closed, and an indicator

on the switch shows whether it is in the OPEN or CLOSED posi-

tion and the status of the stored energy mechanism.

The switching device is closed by energizing a solenoid that

releases the spring mechanism. A shunt trip will open the switch-

ing device if energized.

3.2.5 Drawout Mechanism

The drawout mechanism is described in detail in Section 6

(Figure 14).

Figure 14. Drawout Mechanism (Closed Transition Shown)

3.3 Voltage Selection Panel

3.3.1 North American Voltage Selection (120, 208, 240, 480,

and 600 V, 60 Hz)

The North American market voltage selection panel consists of

multi-tap transformers, contained in a steel case mounted in the

transfer switch enclosure (Figure 15). The cover has “teardrop”

holes for the screws to allow easy access to the transformers.

The voltage is selected by simply removing the wires from the

default primary taps of both transformers and installing them on

the primary taps for the desired voltage. Taps are provided for

120 to 600 Vac to satisfy any required North American market

application voltage. The factory default position is 600 Vac.

Figure 15. Voltage Selection Panel

Figure 16. North American Market Voltage Selection Terminals

(Shown Connected to the 120 Vac Taps).

3.3.2 International Voltage Selection (208, 220, 240, 380, 415,

and 600 V 50-60 Hz).

The international market voltage selection panel is a multi-tap,

enclosed transformer mounted in the transfer switch enclosure.

Seven front accessible voltage taps from 208 to 600 Vac satisfy

any required international market application voltage. A quick-

change capability from one voltage to another is provided by a

small disconnect plug. The factory default position is 600 VAC.

3.4 Logic Panel

The logic panel provides the intelligence and supervisory circuits

which constantly monitor the condition of both the Source 1 and

Source 2 power sources, thus providing the required intelligence

for transfer operations (Figure 17). Detailed information is pre-

sented in a separate document:

•ATC-600 Instruction Book (IB ATS-I005 - open transition only)

•ATC-800 Instruction Book (IB ATS-CI03 - closed transition only)

WARNING

WHEN CHANGING THE SELECTED VOLTAGE, THE POWER MUST BE

REMOVED FROM THE TRANSFER SWITCH AND THE WIRES MUST

BE MOVED ON THE TAPS OF BOTH TRANSFORMERS.

The rugged steel switch enclosure is supplied with four door

hinges, regardless of enclosure size, to insure proper support of

the door and door mounted devices. The hinges have removable

hinge pins to facilitate door removal. The doors are supplied as

standard with thumbscrew and padlock latches. Cable entry holes

are the customer’s responsibility.

The door is used to mount a variety of lights, switches, and push

buttons, depending upon the options required for a particular

switch. All switch doors are supplied with a heavy duty plastic

accessory panel in place, whether or not external devices are

required. When lights, pushbuttons, or switches are required,

they are normally mounted in the plastic door mounted panel.

Transfer switch enclosures and some internal steel mounting

plates, such as the transformer panel mounting plate, go through

a pre-treatment cleaning system prior to painting to insure a dura-

ble finish. Should the enclosure become scratched and in need of

touch up paint, use ANSI 61. All remaining steel is galvanized.

The standard switch enclosure is NEMA Type 1 for general indoor

use (Table 4).

3.8 Standards

Eaton transfer switch equipment is listed for application by UL and

CSA. In addition, Eaton ATSs are listed in File E38116 by

UL, Inc., under Standard UL 1008. This standard covers require-

ments for ATSs intended for use in ordinary locations to provide

for lighting and power as follows:

a. In emergency systems, in accordance with articles 517 and

700 in the National Electrical Code (NEC), American National

Standards Institute/National Fire Protection Association

(ANSI/NFPA) 70 and the NFPA No. 76A and/or

b. In stand-by systems, in accordance with article 702 of the

NEC and/or

c. In legally required stand-by systems in accordance with article

701 of the NEC.

Eaton ATSs are available to meet NFPA 110 for emergency and

stand-by power systems, and NFPA 99 for health care facilities

when ordered with the appropriate options.

Since Eaton ATSs utilize specially designed switches and/or

switching devices as the main power switching contacts, these

devices must also be listed under the additional UL Standard

1066. UL utilizes two basic types of listing programs: a) Label

Service and b) Re-examination. UL1066 employs a label service

listing program which requires an extensive follow-up testing pro-

gram for listed devices. Standard UL1008 for ATSs lists devices

under the re-examination program which only requires a continual

physical re-examination of the components used in the product to

insure consistency with the originally submitted device. Follow-up

testing IS NOT required by UL1008.

Representative production samples of switches and switching

devices used in Eaton ATSs are subjected to a complete test pro-

gram identical to the originally submitted devices on an ongoing

periodic basis per UL1066. The frequency of such a re-submittal

can be as often as every quarter for a low ampere device.

Section 4: Installation and Wiring

4.1 General

Eaton transfer switches are factory wired and tested. Installation

requires solidly mounting the enclosed unit and connecting the

power cables and auxiliary pilot circuits. Physical mounting proce-

dures and power cable connections are covered in this section.

All other required wiring or electrical connection references are

covered in a separate Customer Wiring Diagram packaged with

the transfer switch.

Locate the wiring booklet, review it, and keep it readily available

for reference purposes during installation and testing. Once a

transfer switch is properly installed and wired, it should be

mechanically and electrically checked for proper installation and

operation. The procedures for these initial mechanical and electri-

cal checks are outlined in Section 8.1 of this instruction manual.

4.2 Mounting Location

Choose a location that offers a flat, rigid mounting surface capa-

ble of supporting the weight of the enclosed transfer switch

equipment. Avoid locations that are moist, hot, or dusty. How-

ever, Eaton offers enclosure designs that can be used in special

environments. If there are any doubts as to the suitability of the

location, discuss it with your Eaton representative.

Check to make certain that there are no pipes, wires, or other haz-

ards in the immediate area that could create a problem. The pan-

els provide ample room for rear cable entry from top, bottom, and

sides. At no time should cable be routed to retard the action of

relays or cover the logic in a way that restricts adjustments.

Maintain proper electrical clearances between live metal parts and

grounded metal.

For installation and maintenance purposes, the Source 1 and

Source 2 power sources must have an overcurrent protective

device upstream of the transfer switch, unless overcurrent protec-

tion is integral to the switch.

The dimensions of the transfer switch are an important consider-

ation in determining proper location selection.

WARNING

BE CERTAIN THAT THE SOLID STEEL POWER PANEL SHIELDS ARE

PROPERLY INSTALLED BEFORE THE TRANSFER SWITCH EQUIP-

MENT IS PUT INTO SERVICE. THE SHIELD PROVIDES PROTECTION

FROM DANGEROUS VOLTAGES AT THE LINE AND LOAD TERMI-

NALS WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS IN OPERATION. FAILURE TO DO

SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

4.5 Power Cable Connections

Proceed with the following steps:

Step 1: Verify that the line and load cables comply with applica-

ble electrical codes.

Step 2: Verify that the transfer switch rated current and voltage

(see identification plate on the door of the transfer

switch) agree with system current and voltage.

Step 3: After the transfer switch is mounted, provide the conduit

or cable openings as required. Ensure that no metal filings

contaminate the transfer switch components.

Step 4: Test all power cables before connecting them to the unit

to insure that the conductors or the cable insulation have

not been damaged while being pulled into position.

Step 5: Carefully strip the insulation from the power cables.

Avoid nicking or ringing of the conductor strands. Pre-

pare the stripped conductor termination end by cleaning

it with a wire brush. If aluminum conductors are used,

apply an appropriate joint compound to the clean conduc-

tor surface area. Refer to Figure 13 for the approximate

locations of the power connections.

Power cables are to be connected to solderless screw type lugs

located on the transfer switch switching devices. Refer to the

separate Customer Wiring Diagrams supplied with the transfer

switch equipment for power termination. Verify that the lugs sup-

plied will accommodate the power cables being used. Also verify

that the cables comply with local electrical codes. Standard trans-

fer switch equipment, as supplied from the factory, will accommo-

date the wire sizes shown in Table 5.

yoke is removed, proceed with the rest of the circuit breaker

installation.

4.8 Wiring

Power sources, load conductors, and control wiring should be

connected to locations as indicated in the Customer Wiring Dia-

grams supplied with the transfer switch equipment.

4.8.1 Engine Start Connection

The engine control contact connections are located on the

ATC-600/ATC 800 Controller. The engine control contact con-

nections of bypass isolation units are located in the door of the

enclosure

Note: Prior to making the engine start connection to the switch on bypass

isolation units, set the engine generator controls selector switch in the OFF

position to prevent an unwanted engine start. A contact closes between

these terminal blocks when an engine start signal is provided by the ATS

logic.

4.8.2 ALARM CONTACTS (CLOSED TRANSITION ONLY)

Closed transition only ATSs are provided with an extra shunt trip

on the Source 1 device. This shunt trip is energized when the

Time Delay Utility Parallel (TDUP) times out (preset by user), thus

opening the source device. The TDUP timer starts timing when

both sources are paralleled. Refer to the IQ Transfer instruction

book for additional alarms.

Section 5: Operation

5.1 General

A transfer switch provides main contacts to connect and discon-

nect the load to and from the Source 1 and Source 2 power

sources. A stored-energy type transfer mechanism provides the

mechanical motion required to open and close the main contacts

(Paragraph 3.2.1).

Each switch can be manually operated. Before a switching device

can be closed, the stored energy mechanism must be charged by

pumping the handle (Figure 23).

Figure 23. Pumping Handle Charges Stored Energy Mechanism

Section 6: Drawout and Fixed Switching

Devices

6.1 Installing a Drawout Switching Device

In transfer switches equipped with drawout switching devices,

bolted-in carriages with extendable rails support the switching

devices.

Figure 26. Switching Device Drawn Out from the Transfer Switch.

To install a drawout switching device, the extendable rails must

first be pulled all the way out. Once the rails are fully extended,

the switching device can be carefully placed on the rails.

Figure 27. Drawout Rail Supports Fully Seated in the Rail

Cutouts.

Carefully lower the switching device onto the extended rails. Be

certain that the switching device’s four molded drawout rail sup-

ports are fully seated in the extendable rail cutouts on both sides

(Figure28). Do not remove the lifting yoke from the switching

device until it is properly seated on the rails.

Figure 28. Switching Device in the REMOVE Position.

Once the switching device is properly seated on the extended

rails, the lifting yoke can be removed and the rest of the switching

device installation procedure can be completed.

6.1.1 Switching Device Positioning

The Magnum drawout switching device has four normal positions:

•REMOVE (Withdrawn) (Figure 28)

•DISCONNECT (Figure 31)

•TEST (Figure 30)

•CONNECT (Figure 29)

The REMOVE position is a position outside the compartment on

the carriages drawout rails where the switching device is not

engaged with the levering mechanism. The DISCONNECT, TEST,

and CONNECT, positions are reached by means of the levering

mechanism.

With the switching device solidly positioned on the carriage’s

extendable rails and the levering-in mechanism in the

DISCONNECT position, carefully and firmly push the switching

device into the compartment as far as it will go. The outer

(recessed) portion of the switching device face plate should align

with the GREEN target line (labeled DISC) on the inside top left

wall of the carriage (Figure 32).

CAUTION

IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN PLACING A DRA-

WOUT SWITCHING DEVICE ON ITS EXTENDED RAILS. IF THE

SWITCHING DEVICE IS NOT PROPERLY SEATED ON THE EXTEND-

ABLE RAILS, IT COULD FALL FROM THE RAILS CAUSING EQUIP-

MENT DAMAGE AND/OR BODILY INJURY.

CAUTION

MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE SWITCHING DEVICE IS FULLY INSERTED

INTO ITS COMPARTMENT BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO

LEVER THE SWITCHING DEVICE. ATTEMPTING TO LEVER THE

6.1.2 Levering the Switching Device

The switching device is now ready to be levered. With the

switching device OPEN, the levering device access door can be

raised. The levering device is hand operated using a standard

3/8” square drive and ratchet, which is not provided (Figure 33).

As long as the access door is raised, the switching device is held

in the “trip free” condition. Begin by rotating the levering-in screw

to the full counter clockwise (DISCONNECT) position.

Figure 33.Levering and Position Indication.

Close the compartment door and begin levering the switching

device into its different positions using a clockwise ratcheting

motion. When the switching device is levered fully to the

DISCONNECT or CONNECT position, the levering shaft hits a hard

stop. Do NOT exceed 25 ft lb (33.9 Nm) of torque or the levering

mechanism may be damaged.

The position of the switching device within its compartment is

indicated by color coded position indicators (See

Figure 29 through 32):

•Red=Connect;

•Yellow=Test; and

•Green=Disconnect.

To remove the switching device from its compartment, follow the

procedure just described using a counter clockwise ratcheting

motion.

6.2. Fixed Switching Device

The Magnum fixed type switching device differs from the drawout

version in that it has no levering device, primary disconnects, and

secondary disconnects (Figure 34). In addition, a fixed switching

device does not have a standard feature to hold the switching

device in a “trip free” position

Figure 34. Typical Magnum Fixed Switching Device.

Fixed switching device terminals have holes for making bolted hor-

izontal primary bus connections. Adapters are available for mak-

ing vertical primary bus connections. Secondary connections can

be made through standard terminal blocks or a special connector

compatible with the drawout switching device’s type secondary

connector. Both secondary connection devices are mounted at

the top front of the switching device.

7.2 Automatic Operation

The intelligence/supervisory circuits on Eaton transfer switches

constantly monitor the condition of both the Source 1 and Source

2 power sources. These circuits automatically initiate an immedi-

ate transfer of power from the Source 1 to the Source 2 power

source when the power source fails or the voltage level drops

below a preset value. Transfer back to the Source 1 power

source is automatic upon return of the Source 1 power source.

Monitoring the power source is always performed on the line side

of the power source to which the switch is connected. The

Source 1 power source is the preferred source and the transfer

switch will always seek this source when it is available.

7.3 Bypassing the Transfer Switch

planned outages, the installation should be tested to ensure that all

equipment operates properly. This attention to detail will help to

avoid unexpected malfunctions. Mechanical and/or electrical tests

should be performed.

The frequency of subsequent testing should be based on recom-

mendations of the generator set manufacturer. Use the test push-

button to check the electrical operation of the switch. IF A TEST

SWITCH IS PROVIDED, ALWAYS RETURN THE SWITCH TO THE

AUTO POSITION AFTER THE TEST IS COMPLETE.

8.2 Problem Solving

A basic problem solving effort is the first step to take prior to call-

ing for assistance. Frequently, the effort will successfully address

most problems encountered. Most problem solving procedures

are outlined in the instruction manual unique to the type of logic

being used. In addition, several problem solving procedures are

presented here which are specific to the type of switches or

switching devices used in this equipment.

Section 9: Maintenance

9.1 Introduction

In general, transfer switch equipment is designed to be relatively

maintenance free under normal usage. How-ever, because of the

variability of application conditions and the importance placed on

dependable operation by this type of equipment, inspection and

maintenance checks should be made on a regularly scheduled

basis. Since equipment maintenance will consist mainly of keep-

ing the equipment clean, the frequency of maintenance will

depend, to a large extent, on the cleanliness of the surroundings.

If a significant amount of dust or foreign matter is present, a more

frequent maintenance schedule should be followed.

It is suggested that visual inspections of the equipment be made

on a regular basis, not just during regularly scheduled periods.

Always be alert for an accumulation of dirt in and around the

structure, loose parts and/or hardware, cracks and/or discoloration

to insulation, and damaged or discolored components.

9.2 Maintenance Procedures

A suggested maintenance procedure to follow is outlined in

Table 6.

Table 6. Periodic Maintenance Procedures.

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN AND AROUND TRANSFER

SWITCH EQUIPMENT. BEFORE INSPECTING OR MAINTAINING THIS

EQUIPMENT, DISCONNECT THE LINE POWER FROM THE EQUIP-

MENT BEING SERVICED BY OPENING AND LOCKING OUT, IF POSSI-

BLE, THE NEXT HIGHEST DISCONNECT DEVICE. FAILURE TO

FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/

OR DEATH.

WARNING

THE CLOSED TRANSITION PRODUCT CONTAINS A SPECIAL CON-

TACT ARRANGEMENT (OVERLAPPING CONTACTS). MISUSE CAN

RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY

DAMAGE.

STEP ACTION

a. Make the transfer switch equipment safe for inspection and/or mainte-

nance. Disconnect the line power from the equipment being serviced by opening next highest disconnect device. Make

certain that any accessory control power is switched off and the logic plugs are disconnected

b. Inspect the structure area for any safety hazards or potential mainte

nance problems. Inspect the area, especially where switching devices are installed, for any safety hazards, including personnel

safety and fire hazards. Exposure to certain chemical vapors can cause deterioration of electrical connections.

Inspect for accumulated dirt, loose hardware, or physical damage.

Examine the primary insulation for evidence of cracking or overheating. Overheating will show as discoloration,

melting or blistering of conductor insulation, or as pitting or melting of conductor surfaces due to arcing.

Inspect the secondary control connections for damage and the control wiring for insulation integrity

c. Inspect the switching devices for dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, or

corrosion. Remove the dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, and corrosion contamination from the surface of the switching

device using a dry, soft lint-free cloth, dry, soft bristle brush, and vacuum cleaner. Do not blow debris into the

switching device or nearby breaker structure. If contamination is found, look for the source and fix the problem.

d. Check for material integrity, uneven wear, discoloration, or loose hard-

ware. Severe material cracking will require replacement and loose hardware will need to be tightened.

e. Check all terminals and connectors for looseness or signs of overheat-

ing. Overheating will show as discoloration, melting, or blistering of conductor insulation.

Connections that do not have signs of looseness or overheating should not be disturbed.

f. Exercise the switching devices if they are not often exercised while in

operation. This will permit a wiping action by the contacts. If a switching device is used for frequent switching during normal operation, this step can be disregarded.

g. Inspect NEMA 3R filters for blockage or contamination. For NEMA 3R enclosed transfer switches with venting, check that the air filters are clean and uncompromised.

Replace the filters as necessary.

h. Return the transfer switch equipment to service. Make certain that all barriers are in place and the doors are closed. Reapply the Source 1 and Source 2 power.
