3 – Electrical Operation

This procedure will check the electrical operation of the Automatic Transfer Switching Equipment.

Close the automatic transfer switching equipment enclosure door and tighten the screws before you test electrical operation.

Transfer Test

Both normal and emergency sources must be available and the emergency source generator (if used) must be capable of being started in this procedure.

Perform steps 1 through 8 at the right. Observe the status lights. See Figure 1–8.

OBlack circle means light is on. P White circle means light is off.

NOTE: If Motor Load Transfer feature is activated, then transfer may not occur immediately after the respective time delays. Transfer will only occur when the phase relationship between sources is correct.

NOTE: The operating transfer time of the transfer switching device is 0,17 second maximum, which is measured from the time that power is applied to the operating coil of the transfer switching device until the main contacts close on the alternative source.

This completes the Functional Test of the ASCO Series 200 Automatic Transfer Switching Equipment. Leave the engine–generator starting control in the automatic position.

 

The normal source must be

 

 

available and the generator
