Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches

Section 2: Receiving, Handling, and Storage

2.1 Receiving

Every effort is made to ensure that the transfer switch equipment arrives at its destination undamaged and ready for installation. Crating and packing is designed to protect internal components as well as the enclosure. Transfer switch enclosures are skid mounted and suited for fork lift movement. Care should be exer- cised, however, to protect the equipment from impact at all times. Do not remove the protective packaging until the equipment is at the installation location and ready for installation.

When the transfer switch equipment reaches its destination, the customer should inspect the shipping container for any obvious signs of rough handling and/or external damage incurred during transportation. Record any external and internal damage observed for reporting to the transportation carrier and Eaton, once a thor- ough inspection is completed. All claims should be as specific as possible and include the Shop Order and General Order numbers.

A shipping label is affixed to the top of the shipping container which includes a variety of equipment and customer information, such as General Order Number (GO #) and Catalog Number (Cat #). Make certain that this information matches other ship- ping paper information.

Each transfer switch enclosure is bolted to a rigid wooden pallet. The pallet is open at two ends for movement by a fork lift. The shipment is secured and further protected with shrink wrap. Do not discard the packing material until the equipment is ready for installation.

A plastic bag of documents will be found within the enclosure, usually attached to the inside of the door. Important documents, such as test reports, wiring diagrams, and appropriate instruction leaflets, are enclosed within the bag and should be filed in a safe place.

2.2 Handling

As previously mentioned, the transfer switch equipment is pack- aged for fork lift movement. Protect the equipment from impact at all times and DO NOT double stack. Once the equipment is at the installation location and ready for installation, the packaging material can be removed. Once the enclosure is unbolted from the wooden pallet, it can be installed using the lifting provision located on the top of the structure. Be careful not to damage the top or bottom enclosure mounting flanges. Refer to Section 4 of this manual for specific installation instructions.

2.3 Storage

Although well packaged, this equipment is not suitable for storage outdoors. The equipment warranty will not be applicable if there is evidence of outdoor storage. If the equipment is to be stored indoors for any period of time, it should be stored with its protec- tive packaging material in place. Protect the equipment at all times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive condi- tions, and other contaminants.

It is strongly suggested that the package-protected equipment be stored in a climate controlled environment of -20° to 85°C (-4° to 185°F) with a relative humidity of 80% or less. DO NOT, under any circumstances, stack other equipment on top of a trans- fer switch equipment enclosure, whether packaged or not.

Section 3: Equipment Description

3.1 General

This Eaton transfer switch equipment is available in four different configurations:

•ATS (Closed and Open transition);

•Non-Automatic (Electrically Operated) (Open Transition Only);

•Bypass Isolation Transfer Switch (Open and Closed Transition); and

•Power Panel.

Refer to Section 1 for a discussion of all four types. Each transfer switch is usually supplied in an enclosure, although unmounted sub-assemblies can be supplied for mounting by the customer. The enclosed ATS is the only specific type that will be discussed in this section.

Figure 11. Typical Power Panel (Open Transition Shown).

The enclosed ATS consists of three basic panels interconnected through connector plugs and mounted in an enclosure:

•Power Panel;

•Voltage Selection Panel; and

•Logic Panel

•ATC-600 (open transition only)

•ATC-800 (closed transition only).
