Section 1 Product Description
1.1Purpose
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) transfers electrical
loads from a normal (preferred) source of electrical
power to an emergency (standby) source when the
normal source falls outside the acceptable electrical
parameters.
When the normal (preferred) source fails, the ATS
signals the emergency (standby) source generator set
to start. When the emergency (standby) source reaches
acceptable levels and stabilizes, the ATS transfers the
load from the normal (preferred) source to the
emergency (standby) source. The AT S continuously
monitors the normal (preferred) source and transfers
the load back when the normal (preferred) source
returns and stabilizes. After transferring the load back to
the normal (preferred) source, the ATS removes the
generator start signal, allowing the generator set to shut
down.
Figure 1-2 shows a typical installation block diagram.

2.7Electrical Wiring
All internal electrical connections are factory-wired and
tested. Field installation includes connecting the
sources, loads, generator start circuit(s), and auxiliary
circuits, if used.
Note: A protective device such as a molded-case circuit
breaker or fused disconnect switch MUST be
installed on both sources of incoming power for
circuit protection and use as a disconnect device.
Refer to the wiring diagrams provided with the transfer
switch. Observe all applicable national, state, and local
electrical codes during installation.
Install DC, control, and communication system wiring
in separate conduit from AC power wiring.
It is not necessary to remove pole covers from the
transfer switch for cabling. If you do remove them,
reinstall them carefully.
WARNING
Accidental starting.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect the battery cables before
working on the generatorset.
Remove the negative (- ) lead first
when disconnecting the battery.
Reconnect the negative (- ) lead last
when reconnecting the battery.

from a remote computer. Before servicing any components
inside the enclosure: (1) Remove all jewelry. (2) Stand on a
dry,approved electrically insulated mat. (3) Test circuits with a
voltmeter to verify that they are deenergized.
DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
Making line or auxiliary connections. Hazardous voltage
will cause severe injury or death. To prevent electrical
shock deenergize the normal powersource before making any
line or auxiliary connections.
Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage will
cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible
whenever electricity is present. Ensure you comply with all
applicable codes and standards.Electrically ground the
generator set and related equipment and electrical circuits.
Turn off the main circuit breakers of all power sources before
servicing the equipment. Never contact electrical leads or
appliances when standing in water or on wet ground because
these conditions increase the risk of electrocution.
NOTICE

2.7.1Source and Load Connections
Determine the cable size. Refer to the transfer switch
dimension drawing to determine the cable size and
number of cables required for the transfer switch. Make
sure that the cables are suitable for use with the transfer
switch lugs. Watertight conduit hubs may be required for
outdoor use.
Drill the entry holes. Cover the transfer switch to
protect it from metal chips and construction grit. Then
drill entry holes for the conductors at the locations
shown on the enclosure drawings. Remove debris from
the enclosure with a vacuum cleaner.
Note: Do not use compressed air to clean the switch.
Cleaning with compressed air can cause debris
to lodge in the components and damage the
switch.
TP-7191 4/2121Section 2 Installation
Install and test the power cables. Leave sufficient
slack in the power leads to reach all of the power
connecting lugs on the power switching device. Test the
power conductors before connecting them to the
transfer switch. Installing power cables in conduit, cable
troughs and ceiling-suspended hangers often requires
considerable force. Pulling cables can damage
insulation and stretch or break the conductor’s strands.
Test the cables after pulling them into position and
before they are connected to verify that they are not
defective and that they were not damaged during
installation.
Install the cable spacers provided with 150- 230 amp
switches as shown in Figure 2-12.

or other batteries to provide 12 VDC power to the ATS
controller. The external battery supply module kit is
required for the following applications:
D Systems using extended engine start time
delays. The EBSM provides power to the ATS
controller during extended time delays longer than 15
seconds, whenneitherthe Normalnorthe
Emergency source is available.
D Installations with frequent utility power outages.
The EBSM provides power to the ATS controller when
neither source is available, preserving the controller’s
backup battery.
D Transferswitchesequippedwithmultiple

voltmeter to verify that they are deenergized.
An anti-condensation heater kit is available. The strip
heater is controlled by a hygrostat to raise the
temperature inside the enclosure above the dew point to
prevent condensation. Figure 3-22 shows a typical
location of the heater kit components inside the
enclosure.
The installer must connect 120 VAC power to the
terminal block near the hygrostat. See Figure 3-23 and
Figure 3-24. The heater and hygrostat are connected to
power through a 15-amp circuit breaker.
The relative humidity setting on the hygrostat is
adjustable from 35% to 95%. A setting of 65% is
recommended.
Because of space limitations in the smaller enclosures,
30- 225 Amp Model KSS switches can include either an
enclosure heater or a surge protection device (SPD),
but not both.
