TS 870 TRANSFER SWITCH
9.TRANSFER SWITCH MECHANISM –1000A-1200A, T-Style
The transfer mechanism consists primarily of the transfer motor, a hub assembly, two operating rods and two power switching device operating yokes.
The reversible transfer motor drives the hub assembly, which in turn moves the operating rods that are connected to the power switching device operating yokes. The power switching device toggles are set inside the yokes and are moved by them. There are two limit switches, which are contacted by the operating yokes (one for each direction of travel), which disconnect the transfer motor power supply when the power switching devices have attained full travel. The adjuster screws, located on the yokes determine the operating point of these limit switches. Should adjustment be required, it is advisable to consult Thomson Technology for further information.
The transfer switch mechanism has three possible positions:
a)Utility power switching device closed and generator power switching device open;
b)Generator power switching device closed and utility power switching device open;
d)Both utility and generator power switching devices open, but NEVER both utility and generator power switching devices closed at the same time.
