All switches comply with NEMA ICS 10. panels rated from 250 to 500 Amps, this option helps
prevent fuse blowing and circuit breaker tripping when
transferring inductive loads such as large motors and
This transfer switch is designed and
manufactured in facilities certified to transformers. Extends transfer time of the transfer

decay prior to connection to the oncoming source.
Battery chargers - 2, 12 or 15 Amp battery chargers
are available as factory installed options to reduce field
wiring expense.
Three-wire start module - This option modifies the
standard LC two-wire start circuit to a three-wire start
system required by some generator sets.
Manual override switch - This key selector switch
provides a manual transfer capability. The manual
override switch uses the power from the source to
which the switch will transfer, in order to bypass the
control and transfer load.

Control
A choice of two control packages allows flexibility for determining the most suitable level of control for a given
application:
Control package A Control package B
Time delay start: 3 seconds (fixed) Time delay start: 0 to 15 seconds (adjustable)
Transfer time delay: 3 seconds (fixed) Transfer time delay: 2 to 120 seconds (adjustable)
Retransfer time delay: 5 minutes (fixed) Retransfer time delay: 6 seconds to 30 minutes
Stop delay: 5 minutes (fixed) (adjustable)
Undervoltage sensing: Stop delay: 2 seconds to 10 minutes (adjustable)
Single phase normal and emergency Undervoltage sensing:
- Pickup: 85% of nominal (fixed) Three phase differential sensing on normal
- Dropout: 75% of pickup (fixed) Single phase emergency
Remote test terminals - Pickup: 85 to 100% of nominal (adjustable)
- Dropout: 75 to 98% of pickup (adjustable)
LED status indicators: for source available and
switch position on both normal and emergency
Remote test terminals
Momentary test switch
Instant retransfer switch
7 day exerciser clock: with or without load
Auto/manual retransfer switch
Time-delay functions
Engine start: Prevents nuisance genset starts in the event of momentary power system variation or loss.
Transfer normal to emergency: Allows genset to stabilize before application of load. Prevents power interruption
if normal source variation or loss is momentary.
Retransfer emergency to normal: Allows the utility to stabilize before retransfer of load. Prevents needless
power interruption if return of normal source is momentary.
Engine stop: Maintains availability of the genset for immediate reconnection in the event that the normal source
fails shortly after retransfer. Allows gradual genset cool down by running unloaded.
Enclosures
The transfer panel and control are mounted in a single door, key locking, general purpose enclosure (similar to IP30).
