Figure 2.4 — 3-Pole Transfer Mechanism

These switches (Figures 2.2 and 2.3) are used with a single phase system, when the single phase NEU- TRAL line is to be connected to a Neutral Lug and is not to be switched.

◆2.4.2 3-POLE MECHANISMS

This switch (Figure 2.4) is also used with a single phase system, when the single phase NEUTRAL line is to be connected to a Neutral Lug and is not to be switched.

Solderless, screw-type terminal lugs are standard. Conductor sizes must be adequate to handle the max- imum current to which they will be subjected; based on the 75°C column of tables, charts, etc. used to size conductors. The installation must comply fully with all applicable codes, standards and regulations.

Before connecting wiring cables to terminals, remove any surface oxides from the cable ends with a wire brush. If ALUMINUM conductors are used, apply cor- rosion inhibitor to conductors. After tightening ter- minal lugs, carefully wipe away any excess corrosion inhibitor.

All power cables should enter the switch next to transfer mechanism terminals. Standard terminal lugs on the transfer mechanism are solderless, screw-type.

Connect power source load conductors to clearly marked transfer mechanism terminal lugs as follows (Figure 2.5 on page 5):

1.Connect NORMAL (utility) power source cables to switch terminals N1, N2, N3, etc.

2.Connect STANDBY source power cables to trans- fer switch terminals E1, E2, E3, etc.

3.Connect customer LOAD leads to switch termi- nals T1, T2, T3, etc.

Conductors must be properly supported, of approved insulative qualities, protected by approved conduit, and of the correct wire gauge size in accordance with applicable codes.

Tighten terminal lugs to the following torques:

100 Amp Switch: 50 INCH-POUNDS

200 Amp Switch: 250 INCH-POUNDS

Make sure to maintain proper electrical 1/2-inch clearance between live metal parts and grounded metal.
