DC CONTROL

UTILITY VOLTAGE RESTORED / RE-

TRANSFER TO UTILITY

The "Load" is powered by the "Standby" power supply. The circuit board continues to seek an acceptable "Utility" source voltage. On restoration of "Utility" source voltage, the

following events will occur:

 

On restoration of utility source voltage above

 

80 percent of the nominal rated voltage, a

 

"retransfer time delay" on the circuit board

 

starts timing. The timer will run for about

 

fifteen (15) seconds.

 

At the end of fifteen (15) seconds, the

 

"retransfer time delay" will stop timing and

 

circuit board action will open the Wire 23

 

circuit to ground. The transfer relay (TR) will

 

then de-energize.

 

When the transfer relay (TR) de-energizes, its

 

normally-closed contacts close. "Utility"

 

source voltage is then delivered to the utility

 

closing coil (C1), via Wires N1A/N2A, the

 

closed TR contacts, Wire 126, limit switch

 

XA1, and a bridge rectifier.

 

The utility closing coil (C1) energizes and

 

moves the main current carrying contacts to

 

their "Neutral" position. The main contacts

 

move to an over center position past "Neutral"

 

and spring force closes them to their "Utility"

 

side. "Load" terminals are now powered by

 

the "Utility" source.

 

Movement of the main contacts to ’Utility"

actuates limit switches XA1/XB1. XA1 opens

 

and XB1 actuates to its "Standby" source

 

side.

 

The generator continues to run.
