Section 1: Introduction

1.1 Preliminary Comments and Safety Precautions
This technical document is intended to cover most aspects associ­ated 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 quali­fied personnel only. Please refer to the specific WARNING and CAUTION in Section 1.1.2 before proceeding. If further informa­tion is required by the purchaser regarding a particular installation, application, or maintenance activity, contact an Eaton representa­tive. For information associated with the control, refer to the sep­arate 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 fit­ness for a particular purpose of merchant-ability, or warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade, are made regard­ing 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 con­tained herein.
WARNING
THE CLOSED TRANSITION PRODUCT CONTAINS A SPECIAL CON­TACT ARRANGEMENT (OVERLAPPING CONTACTS). MISUSE CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
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 con­nected to both the Source 1 and Source 2 power sources and sup­plies 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 trans­ferred 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 inter­ruptions. 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-before­break transfer is performed during a transfer test or retransfer operation.
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.

1.2.1 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 con­dition 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 con­tacts from source to source.

Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches
Basic Transfer Switch (Power Panel)
The basic transfer switch is designed for use with customer fur­nished 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.
Source 2
Source 1
The switching devices are in a compact vertical arrangement. The logic can be easily disconnected from the switching device with­out 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.
Load
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 dis­cussed 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 trans­fer essential loads from one power source to another. Open tran­sition 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 inte­gral thermal and short circuit protection in either or both switching devices.

Figure 6. The Magnum Drawout Switching Device.
The Magnum transfer switches are available in the following con­figurations:
Table 2. Magnum Transfer Switch Configurations
NUMBER OF
SWITCHING DEVICES
2Fixed 2 Drawouts 4 Drawouts
All Magnum switching devices are 100% rated, Underwriters Lab­oratories (UL) listed, and are built and tested in an ISO 9002 certi­fied 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.

In addition, a fixed switching device does not have a standard fea­ture 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 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.
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 pro­cess.

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 exer­cised, 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 thor­ough 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 ship­ping 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.

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.
2.2 Handling
As previously mentioned, the transfer switch equipment is pack­aged 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 protec­tive packaging material in place. Protect the equipment at all times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive condi­tions, 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 trans­fer switch equipment enclosure, whether packaged or not.
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:

Instructional Booklet
Effective: March 2007 Page 11
The components comprising the three panels are installed in accor­dance with the specific requirements of the circuit being controlled. Each transfer switch is, therefore, tailor-made to a specific appl ica­tion.
3.2 Power Panel
The power panel consists of a means for making load, power, and neutral connections. The main contacts and the transfer mecha­nism are all on one steel frame (Figure 12). The actual power con­nections are shown in Figure 13.
3.2.3 Drawout Interlocks
The standard closed transition ATS is not provided with a mechanical interlock. All bypass 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 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.
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 capabili­ties, and high interrupting capacity.
3.2.2 Switch Interlocks (Open Transition Only)
Eaton transfer switches are mechanically and electrically inter­locked to prevent the two sets of main contacts from being closed simultaneously.

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.

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 quick­change 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 pre­sented in a separate document:

3.7 Enclosure
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 dura­ble 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 require­ments 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 pro­gram 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 pro­gram 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 proce­dures 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 electri­cal checks are outlined in Section 8.1 of this instruction manual.
WARNING
BE CERTAIN THAT THE SOLID STEEL POWER PANEL SHIELDS ARE PROPERLY INSTALLED BEFORE THE TRANSFER SWITCH EQUIP­MENT IS PUT INTO SERVICE. THE SHIELD PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM DANGEROUS VOLTAGES AT THE LINE AND LOAD TERMI­NALS WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS IN OPERATION. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DE ATH.
4.2 Mounting Location
Choose a location that offers a flat, rigid mounting surface capa­ble of supporting the weight of the enclosed transfer switch equipment. Avoid locations that are moist, hot, or dusty. How­ever, 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 haz­ards in the immediate area that could create a problem. The pan­els 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 protec­tion is integral to the switch.
The dimensions of the transfer switch are an important consider­ation in determining proper location selection.

5.1 General
WARNING
THE CLOSED TRANSITION PRODUCT CONTAINS A SPECIAL CON­TACT ARRANGEMENT (OVERLAPPING CONTACTS). MISUSE CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
A transfer switch provides main contacts to connect and discon­nect the load to and from the Source 1 and Source 2 power sources. A stored-energy type transfer me ch an ism pr o vide s th e mechanical motion required to open and cl ose the ma in cont acts (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).
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 con­nections 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.
Figure 23. Pumping Handle Charges Stored Energy Mechanism (Closed Transition Shown).
In the closed transition product, a single switching device can be manually closed by following the instructions detailed in Figure

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.
CAUTION
IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN PLACING A DRA­WOUT SWITCHING DEVICE ON ITS EXTENDED RAILS. IF THE SWITCHING DEVICE IS NOT PROPERLY SEATED ON THE EXTEND­ABLE RAILS, IT COULD FALL FROM THE RAILS CAUSING EQUIP ­MENT DAMAGE AND/OR BODILY INJURY.
Carefully lower the switching device onto the extended rails. Be certain that the switching device’s four molded drawout rail sup­ports 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).
Figure 27. Drawout Rail Supports Fully Seated in the Rail Cutouts.

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.
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.
NOTICE
THE SWITCHING DEVICE MECHANISM IS INTERLOCKED SUCH THAT CHARGED CLOSING SPRINGS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DIS­CHARGED IF THE SWITCHING DEVICE IS LEVERED INTO OR OUT OF THE CELL. DISCHARGE TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE DISCONNECT AND TEST POSITION.
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 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.
For more information visit: www.Eaton.com IB01602011E
Figure 34. Typical Magnum Fixed Switching Device.
Fixed switching device terminals have holes for making bolted hor­izontal primary bus connections. Adapters are available for mak­ing 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.

Effective: March 2007 Page 25
The fixed switching device frame has two mounting feet, one on each side, to permit the fixed switching device to be securely mounted. Each mounting foot has two slotted mounting holes which are used to bolt the switching device securely in place. Use either 3/8” or M 10 bolts for this purpose. Refer to the dimen­sional drawings supplied with the transfer switch for switching device and bus stab dimensions.
6.3 Switching Device Operation
Switching devices should be operated manually and/or electrically before they are put into service. This can be done during the installation process or some later date prior to start-up. To check the switching device operation, follow the operational procedures outlined in switching device manual supplied with the transfer switch for both manually operated and electrically operated switching devices.

Section 7: Operation of the Bypass Isolation Transfer Switch

7.1 Operator Panel
The design of this transfer switch allows quick removal of the dif­ferent switching devices for inspection or maintenance or, if required, quick replacement.
The bypass isolation switch has two operator panels with switches and lights (Figure 35). The following descriptions are for those features that are standard with the bypass isolation switch. Additional features are described in the options section.
Figure 35.Bypass Isolation Switch.
The left door control panel has the following standard features:
1. Light to indicate if the Source 1 power source is available.
2. Light to indicate if the Source 2 power source is available.
3. Light to indicate if the Source 1position is energized, that is, the Source 1 switching device in the automatic transfer switch is closed.
4. Light to indicate if the Source 2 position is energized, that is, the Source 2 switching device in the automatic transfer switch is closed.
5. The Push-To-Test button allows testing of the transfer switch. Pushing the button two times will simulate a power failure, causing the transfer switch to start the transfer sequence. Pressing the button again will restore regular power.
Three-position selector switch to control the generator:
AUTO - The intelligence circuit of the transf er switch will start the generator if the Source 1 power source is not available.
OFF - The intelligence circuit of the transfer switch will not be able to start the generator, which eliminates nuisance starts during maintenance.
RUN - The generator will run regardless of the availability of the Source 1 power source.

The right door control panel has the following standard features:
1. Light to indicate if the Source 1 switching device is isolated (only if the Source 1 switching device is racked out).
2. Light to indicate if the Source 2 switching device is isolated (only if the Source 2 switching device is racked out).
3. Light to indicate if the Source 1 bypass switching device is closed.
4. Light to indicate if the Source 2 bypass switching device is closed.
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 immedi­ate 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.

Section 9: Maintenance

9.1 Introduction
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN AND AROUND TRANSFER SWITCH EQUIPMENT. BEFORE INSPECTING OR MAINTAINING THI S EQUIPMENT, DISCONNECT THE LINE POWER FROM THE EQUIP­MENT BEING SERVICED BY OPENING AND LOCKING OUT, IF POSSI­BLE, THE NEXT HIGHEST DISCONNECT DEVICE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL I NJURY AND/ OR DEATH.
WARNING
THE CLOSED TRANSITION PRODUCT CONTAINS A SPECIAL CON­TACT ARRANGEMENT (OVERLAPPING CONTACTS). MISUSE CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Table 6. Periodic Maintenance Procedures.
STEP ACTION
a. Make the transfer switch equipment safe for inspection and/or mainte-
nance.
b. Inspect the structure area for any safety hazards or potential mainte
nance problems.
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
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.
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 keep­ing 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.
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.
d. Check for material integrity, uneven wear, discoloration, or loose hard-
ware.
e. Check all terminals and connectors for looseness or signs of overheat-
ing.
f. Exercise the switching devic es if they are not often exercised while in
operation. This will permit a wiping action by the contacts.
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.
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.
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.
Severe material cracking will require replacement and loose hardware will need to be tightened.
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. If a switching device is used for frequent switching during normal operation, this step can be disregarded.
Replace the filters as necessary.
