Transfer To Emergency
The sequence for load transfer to the emergency source begins when you turn the
When the Transfer Control switch is operated to Transfer To Emergency, the voltage and frequency sensor begins monitoring the emergency source. The sensor will accept the emergency source only when both voltage and frequency reach preset pickup points. If the emergency source is available immediately, the sensor may accept it as soon as the Transfer Control switch is operated.
When the emergency source is accepted by the sensor, relay ER picks up to transfer the load to the emergency source.
ER relay energizes, the TS coil is energized, the transfer switch operates, and all switch contacts (mains, controls, auxiliaries) reverse position. The transfer switch is now supplying the load from the emergency source.
The transfer switch will remain in the Emergency position until the Transfer Control switch is operated to the Transfer To Normal position.

When the Transfer Control switch is operated to Transfer To Normal, the voltage sensor begins monitoring the normal source.
The SE relay energizes when the sensor accepts the normal source voltage.
SE relay energizes. The TS coil is energized, the transfer switch operates, and all switch contacts (mains, controls, auxiliaries) reverse position. The transfer switch is now supplying the load from the normal source again.

The transfer switch will remain in the Normal position until the Transfer Control switch is operated to the Transfer To Emergency position.
Note
Activation of standard control features shown in Section 5 will alter the sequence of operation and introduce additional time delays during transfer operations.
