3.1 APPLICATION
The TS 910 Transfer Switch is designed and is Listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to
TS 910 TRANSFER SWITCH
DANGER!!!!
Safety Standard UL 1008 for Transfer Switches for Optional Standby applications only. This
product is not intended for installation or operation on legally required standby
applications for emergency power systems as defined by the National Electrical Code.
3.2 CHECK EQUIPMENT DELIVERY
Upon delivery of the transfer switch, remove the product packaging and verify the product
has not been damaged.
WARNING:Damaged Transfer Switch equipment: Do not install or operate the transfer
switch if it appears damaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
serious injury, or equipment damage.
Check that the model number printed on the inside cover of the transfer switch is the same
as on the delivery note corresponding to the purchase order.
3.3 CHECK LINE VOLTAGE/AMPERAGE
The transfer Switch is designed for a maximum voltage of 120/240V, Single Phase 3 wire
with neutral or 120/208V, three phase 4 wire with neutral. Verify the line voltage and
amperage of the transfer switch matches the site requirements. Note: The tr ansfer switch
can be configured for operation on 208V sources by way of configuration jumper. Ref er to
Section 18.15CONFIGURATION JUMPERS of this manual for further information.
PM140 REV 2 14/01/23 2Thomson Power Systems
TS 910 TRANSFER SWITCH
WARNING: Do not install the transf er switch if either voltage or amperage does not match.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
3.4 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Before installing the transfer switch, review the following requirements:
3.4.1 Installation Codes/Permits and ATS Sizing
Suitable permits are typically required by local jurisdictions having authority prior to
installing standby generator sets and automatic transfer switches. Per NEC Article
702, Automatic transfer switches shall be sized for either a) entire load whole house,
load calculation per NEC 220, or b) Pre-selected “EM” panel(s) of load being served
or optional standby panel and transfer switch, or c) automatic load shedding feature
to reduce total load imposed on the generator, not to exceed the capacity of the
generator. The TS 910 transfer switch has automatic load shedding capabilities builtin when load shedding control contact is connected. Refer to Load Shedding sec tion
of this manual for further details.
3.4.2 Installation Location
The standard TS 910 transfer switch is designed for indoor wall mounting. For
applications requiring outdoor wall mounting, a NEMA 3R door kit is optionally
available. The transfer switch must be installed in an environment where the
temperature range is within +5° to +122° Fahrenheit (-15° to +50° Celsius) and
humidity range not exceeding 5%-95% non-condensing.
3.4.3 Power Cabling
All power cabling entering/exiting the enclosure must be installed in suitably sized
conduit per NEC requirements. Ampacity, type and voltage rating of current carrying
conductors must also comply with NEC requirements and local jurisdictions having
authority.
Refer to
Section 16ENCLOSURE DIMENSIONS/CABLE TERMINALSof this
manual for further details.
3.4.4 SYSTEM PHASING-HIGH LEG DELTA SYSTEMS
When the transfer switch is connected to 3 phase 4 wire delta systems, the “High” leg, must
be connected to Phase B of the Utility and/or Generator supply inputs to the ATS (Phase B,

to ground). This will ensure the ATS control power that is internally connected between
phase A and neutral is maintained at 120VAC. Refer to figure below for further details.
WARNING
Failure to match correct system phasing will result in serious
damage to the Transfer Switch.
Note: For correct voltage sensing operation on High Leg Delta systems, the TSC 9
controller must have the configuration jumpers set at “240V” and “3PH” settings.
Refer to Section 18.15TSC 9 CONFIG URATION I NSTRUCTI ONS of this manual
for further details.
3.4.5 Control Wiring
PM140 REV 2 14/01/23 4Thomson Power Systems
All control wiring for engine start, load shed, alarm and remote test must be installed
in separate conduits from all power cabling and must utilize suitably sized conduits
per NEC requirements. All control wiring shall be sized for minimum #14 AWG.
TS 910 TRANSFER SWITCH
Control wiring type and voltage rating must also comply with NEC requirements and
local jurisdictions having authority.
3.4.6 Generator Set Automatic Operation
The standard T S 910 transfer switch operates in conjunction with any generator set
with remote automatic starting capabilities utilizing a 2 wire, remote start control
contact input. A dry contact is provided for remote generator starting control (contact
closes to start generator and opens to stop generator).
Optionally available is a Universal Generator Interface kit (UGI) which allows the TS
910 transfer switch to be applied to multiple types of generator sets utilizing 240V
remote starting control systems. Additional information on the Universal Generator
Interface kit can be obtained from our Website (
Non-Service Entrance Rated TS 910 transfer switch models do not contain any
integral over current protection and require upstream over current protection devices
for both Utility and Generator sources. The standard TS 910 series Automatic
Transfer Switch is rated for 100% system load and is suitable for control of motors,
electric discharge lamps, tungsten filament lamps, and electric heating equipment
where the sum of motor full-load ampere ratings and the ampere ratings of other
loads do not exceed the ampere rating of the switch and the tungsten load does not
exceed 30 percent of the switch rating. Refer to
Service Entrance rated TS 910 transfer switch models contain integral over current
protection for the Utility source as standard. Service Entrance rated TS 910 transfer
switches do not
contain any integral over current protection f or the generator source
and requires upstream generator source over current protection. The Service
Entrance rated TS 910 is rated for 80% maximum continuous loading of all load
types. Refer to
PROTECTIVE DEVICESof this manual for further details.

4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TS 910 Automatic Transfer Switches employ a power contactor switching unit with a m icroproces sor
based controller to automatically start a generator and transfer system load to a generator supply in
the event of a utility supply failure. System load is automatically re-transferred back to the utility
supply following restoration of the utility power source to within normal operating limits. All load
transfer sequences are “Open Transition” (i.e. “break-before-make”) utilizing an in-phase transfer
detection control sequence.
The TS 910 series transfer switches use a type TSC 9 microprocessor based controller. All
necessary control functions for fully automatic operation are provided by the TSC 9 transfer
controller. The TSC 9 controller is mounted inside the transfer switch enclosure and operating
status is provided via LED indicators that are visible though a fr ont panel opening on NEMA 1 rated
enclosures. For detailed information on the TSC 9 Transfer Switch controller, refer to
Section 18 of
this manual.
The standard TS 910 series Automatic Transfer Switch is rated for 100% system load and is suitable
for control of motors, electric discharge lamps, tungsten filament lamps, and electric heating
equipment where the sum of motor full-load ampere ratings and the ampere ratings of other loads do
not exceed the ampere rating of the switch and the tungsten load does not exceed 30 percent of the
switch rating.
Service Entrance Rated TS 910 Automatic Transfer Switch models are supplied with a utility supply
circuit breaker with over current protection. Refer to
Section 17 of this manual for detailed
information on over current protection.
