2.4.2. AC CONTROL POWER INPUT
The TSC 80e is factory supplied for 120VAC (nominal) control power input voltage.
Independent AC control power is required from both utility and generator supplies. AC
control power is utilized for internal TSC 80e control circuits and external control
device loads. The TSC 80e requires approximately 6 VA power for internal control
circuits. The maximum external load is limited by output contact ratings (i.e. 10A
resistive, 120VAC). Total AC control power requirements for each supply must be
determined by adding both internal and external load requirements.
2.4.3. OUTPUTS
The TSC 80e provides the following types of output circuits:
Engine Start Contact Isolated Form B contact (10A, 120VAC Resistive)
Transfer to Utility Output 120VAC, 10A (Resistive) powered output contact
Transfer to Generator Output 120VAC, 10A (Resistive) powered output contact
The TSC 80e provides the following additional output circuits:
Programmable Output Contact #1
Programmable Output Contact #2
Programmable Output Contact #3
Programmable Output Contact #4
Programmable Output Contact #5
Isolated Form C contact (10A, 120VAC/250VAC Resistive)
Isolated Form C contact (10A, 120VAC/250VAC Resistive)
Isolated Form C contact (10A, 120VAC/250VAC Resistive)
Isolated Form C contact (10A, 120VAC/250VAC Resistive)
Isolated Form C contact (10A, 120VAC/250VAC Resistive)
Interposing relays are required between the TSC 80e outputs and the end device if
loads exceed the output current rating.

TSC 80e TRANSFER SWITCH CONTROLLER
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To operate the TSC 80e controller and associated transfer switch using the front faceplate
pushbuttons, refer to the following detailed operating instruction sub-section descriptions.
3.1. AUTOMATIC SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
3.1.1. NORMAL OPERATION
Under normal operating conditions, the transfer switch operates automatically during a
failure and restoration of utility power and does not require operator intervention.
When utility supply voltage drops below a preset nominal value (70 - 95% of rated
adjustable) on any one phase, an engine start delay will be initiated and the transfer to
utility supply signal will be removed (i.e. contact opening). Following expiry of the
engine start delay period (0 - 60 sec. adjustable) an engine start signal will be given
(contact closure, relay drops out to initiate start sequence).
Once the engine starts, the transfer switch controller will monitor the generators
voltage and frequency levels. When the generator voltage and frequency rises above
preset values (70 - 95% nominal adjustable) the Engine Warm-up timer will be
initiated. After the Engine Warm-up timer expires (0-60 sec. Adjustable), the transfer to
generator supply signal (contact closure) will be given to the transfer switch
mechanism. The load will then transfer from the utility supply to the generator supply
via motor driven mechanism (Neutral Delay is bypassed on utility failure detection).
The generator will continue to supply the load until the utility supply has returned and
the retransfer sequence is completed as follows: When the utility supply voltage is
restored to above the present values (70 - 95% of rated adjustable) on all phases, a
transfer return delay circuit will be initiated. Following expiry of the utility transfer
return timer (0 - 30 min. adjustable), the transfer to generator supply signal will be
removed (contact opening), then the transfer to utility supply signal (contact closure)
will be given to the transfer switch mechanism. The load will then be transferred from
the generator supply back to the utility supply. During the utility re-transfer sequence a
neutral positioning delay circuit will cause the transfer mechanism to pause in the
“neutral position (i.e. with both transfer power switching devices open) for the duration
of the neutral delay timer (0-30 seconds adjustable) setting. Once the neutral delay
expires, the re-transfer sequence will be completed.
PM091 Rev 1 09/02/27 Thomson Technology
14
TSC 80e TRANSFER SWITCH CONTROLLER
An engine cooldown timer circuit will be initiated once the load is transferred from the
generator supply. Following expiry of the cooldown delay period (0 - 30 min.
adjustable) the engine start signal will be removed (contact opening) to initiate
stopping of the generator set.
3.1.2. ABNORMAL OPERATION
3.1.2.1.TEST CONDITION
A test pushbutton on the transfer switch shall signal a simulated utility power
fail signal to the transfer switch controller. The transfer switch shall operate as
per a normal utility power fail condition. The neutral delay circuit logic will be
active during transfer to and from the generator supply (i.e. when both sources
of power are available).
The transfer switch shall remain on generator supply until the test mode is
terminated. It will then retransfer back to the utility supply following expiry of
the transfer return timer and then continue to operate the generator set for its
cooldown period then stop.
3.1.2.2.GENERATOR FAILURE ON LOAD
Should the generator set fail while on load, the transfer switch shall retransfer
the load back to the utility supply if within nominal limits. The utility return and
neutral delay timers will be bypassed in this condition.
NOTE
This operating condition shall apply to a normal utility failure as
well as any test condition.
3.1.2.3.TRANSFER SWITCH FAIL ALARM LOGIC
The TSC 80e controller contains logic to detect a transfer mechanism failure.
Should a failure be detected, a forced transfer to the alternate supply will be initiated. Detailed logic operation is as follows:
NOTE
Disabling of the “TRANSFER SWITCH FAIL” feature is possible
by selecting the “Disconnected” position on “Service Entrance
Models” or by a closure between terminals 38 & 42 on the TSC
80e. In these situations the TSC 80e controller will not verify
that the transfer mechanism has operated correctly to provide
power to the load bus.
