General precautions
When operating electrical equipment, place a rubber insulation mat upon the dry wooden
platform on the metal or cement base.
Forbid wet dress (especially wet shoes) or wet skin surface exposed in electrical
equipment operation.
Jewelries are good conductors of electricity. Remove them when operating the electrical
equipment.
Do wear the safety glasses when maintaining the ATS. Forbid smoking around the battery.
1.2 Applications
(1) Switch between the grid and standby power supply (i.e. generator set)
Applicable to the system of standby power supply (i.e. generator set) or one-way power grid. The
transfer switch can automatically detect power fault of the grid, send start signal to standby
generator set and switch the load.
(2) Switch between generators
Applicable to the system with several generator sets as the main power supply. If the main
generator set goes wrong, the transfer switch will send start signal to the second generator set and
switch the load.
(3) Switch between the grids
Applicable to the multiple power grids without a standby generator set. If one grid goes wrong, the
transfer switch will automatically connect the load to the second one.
(4) Triplicate power supply
A. Applicable to the single standby power supply and dual grid system.
The grid transfer switch controls the power supplied by dual grid according to the predetermined
order. If power supply of both the grids goes wrong, the transfer switch will send start signal to
standby generator set and switch the load.
B. Applicable to the single grid and dual standby power supply system.
If the grid goes wrong, the transfer switch will send start signal to the main standby generator set
and switch the load. If the main standby generator set goes wrong, the transfer switch will send
start signal to the second standby generator set and switch the load.
1.5 ATS
ATS is classified into two types: PC grade (integrated type) and CB grade (breaker type).
(1) PC grade: integrated type. It is the special switch for dual power switching, features the benefits
of compact structure, self interlock, rapid switching speed (within 0.3s), safety and reliability, but
requires a short circuit to protect the electric appliance.
(2) CB grade: equipped with over-current tripper. The main contact can be connected and used for
breaking the short circuit current, featuring the function of overload and short circuit protection.
(3) Contactor-type: applies reversible contactor with mechanical interlocking, more economical,
without short circuit protection.

Incorrect calibration or regulation may cause death, serious personal injury and/or equipment
damage. The one who calibrates or regulates must be qualified technicians.
There is electric shock hazard in the cabinet and behind the door. Opening the door may cause
serious personal injury. So special attention must be paid that body, tools, jewelries, clothes, hair
etc. should be away from the electric contactor.
Standard components:
A. KPD100 intelligent controller
KPD100 intelligent controller (fig.3-11) is installed on the ATS cabinet. ATS switching is controlled
by KPD100 intelligent controller obtaining the built-in ATS controlling function (with default
installation on the generator set). Green light on the display panel indicates the state of transfer
switch as following:
Grid power indicator – it turns light when the grid voltage is normal and turns red when abnormal.
Grid power supply indicator – it turns light when the grid is supplying power to load.
Generator power indicator– it turns light when the generator is normal and turns red when
abnormal.
Generator power supply indicator - it turns light when the generator is supplying power to load.
17
There is electric shock hazard if operate at load bearing state, which may cause serious personal
injury or even death. Do not try to manually operate switches when there is load. Cut off both the
power supplies before manual operation.
1. Make sure there is no load on the transfer switch.
2. Open the door of ATS cabinet.
3. Remove fuse F2, F5 to cut off the power supply (fig.3-14).。
Switch to A side
a. Place the handle on converting axle.
b. Rotate the axle until the switch is locked.
c. Status window on the transfer switch indicates “ON”
(Fig.3-12). Fig.3-12
Switch to B side
a. Place the handle on converting axle.
b. Rotate the axle until the switch is locked.
c. Status window on the transfer switch indicates “ON”
(Fig.3-13). Fig.3-13
Attentions: Remember to convert the load of transfer switch to effective power supply (if both the
power supplies are effective, convert to grid).
Remove the hand operated handle before switching to auto mode, otherwise the operation of ATS
may make the handle throw away at high speed, which may cause serious personal injury. Place
the hand operated handle at safe position (e.g. at the bottom of the cabinet).

Optional components:
Surge protector (SPD)
Surge protecting system applies combined SPD, which is composed of voltage switching type
component and voltage limiting type component. The protection mode can be optional differential
mode (phase to phase and phase to midline) and common mode (phase to grounding and midline
to grounding) according the customer’s need. It complies with:
Lightning protection and grounding design standard of mobile communication base (YD5068-98)
Lightning protection technology standard of communication program power system (YD5078-98)
Thunder and lightning overvoltage protection program design standard of communication bureau
(YD5098-2001)
3.4. Installation
3.4.1 Overview
These installation suggestions apply for typical installation. They contain almost all the options or
adjustable options of the factory design. However, as there are various installation methods, it is
impossible to provide suggestion for all the situations. If you can not find solution in this manual,
please contact the nearest KIPOR distributor for support.
The electric arc generated from converting may ignite flammable gas and lead serious personal
injury or even death. Do not place ATS cabinet at positions closed to battery, fuel tank, solvent,
other flammable liquid or gas or the relevant ventilation area for emission.
Incorrect lifting may cause serious personal injury, so there should be sufficient manpower to lift and
mount the cabinet.
E. Fix the two bolts at the bottom without screwing them down.
F. Have the cabinet closed to the wall. If it is not close enough, adjust with shim.
G. Screwing down all the fixing bolts.
¾ Discretional vertical mounting
Large-sized (630A-1600A) and outdoor (IP54) ATS cabinets apply the ground mounting way.
A. Please observe the local law and regulation.
B. Make sure there is enough room for wiring under and behind the cabinet.
C. Keep the cabinet stable through having the four corners of cabinet fixed on the mounting bracket.
21
3.4.4 Wiring
Locate the parts according to figure 3-7 ~ 3-10.
AC voltage and current may bring hazard of electric shock and cause serious personal injury or
even death. Only well-trained and experienced person can exercise the following operation.
While mounting the wiring conduit, pay attention to the following precautions:
A. Cover the transfer switch to avoid unexpected enter of metal chips before mounting the
conduit.
B. If rigid tube is applied to connect the generator set and transfer switch, it is suggested to mount
flexible pipe between the rigid pipe and generator set to absorb vibration. Waste generated from
mounting may cause the equipment failure or damage.
Pay special attention not to have the drilling debris or filings into ATS, connection terminal block,
contactor or other parts. Additionally, pay attention not to damage the parts when using a
screwdriver.
¾ Connection of AC main circuit
Please wire according to the following order:
A. Test the operation of generator set with generator set controller.
B. Shut off the generator set and cut off the negative terminal to avoid start.
Do cut off the battery of generator set (first cut off the negative wire) before wiring to prevent electric
shock caused by the start of generator which may cause serious personal injury or even death..
C. Current carrying capacity of the connection lead should be wide enough to bear the rated current
required by connection between transfer switch terminal and gird, load and generator set. Phase of
the grid and the generator set should be exactly the same (refer to Fig.3-15~3-18).
D. Connect the power cord to load output terminal.
AC voltage and current may bring electric shock hazard and cause serious personal injury or even
death. Please make sure both the AC power supply have been cut off.
