ATC-900 Magnum Tranfer Switch O & M Manual

Section 5: Operation

5.1 General

A transfer switch provides main contacts to connect and discon-

nect the load to and from the Source 1 and Source 2 power 

sources.  A stored-energy type transfer mechanism provides the 

mechanical motion required to open and close the main contacts 

(Paragraph 3.2.1). 
Each switch can be manually operated.  Before a switching device 

can be closed, the stored energy mechanism must be charged by 

pumping the handle (Figure 24). 

Figure 24. Pumping Handle Charges Stored Energy Mechanism
(Closed Transition Shown).

In the 

closed transition product

, a single switching device can be 

manually closed by following the instructions detailed in Figure 

26.  An indicator window shows whether the switch is open or 

closed.
The open transition switching device can be closed by pushing the 

close button (Figure 25).  The other switching device is prevented 

from closing through a rigid mechanical interlock (Paragraph 

3.2.2).  An indicator window shows whether the switch is open 

or closed.

Figure 25. Close Switch by Pushing Close Button.

 

5.2 Automatic Transfer Switch

The operating sequence of an ATS is dictated by the switch’s 

standard features and selected options.  Operation of an ATS dur-

ing Source 1 power source failure, Source 1 power source restora-

tion, and testing is described in the associated Controller 

Instruction Booklet.

 

WARNING

THE CLOSED TRANSITION PRODUCT CONTAINS A SPECIAL CON-
TACT ARRANGEMENT (OVERLAPPING CONTACTS). MISUSE CAN
RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.

 

NOTICE

IF A TRANSFER SWITCH WITH ANY TYPE OF ELECTRICAL OPERAT-
ING CAPABILITIES IS TO BE OPERATED MANUALLY UTILIZING THE
MANUAL OPERATING HANDLE, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
THAT THE TRANSFER CONTROL CIRCUIT FIRST BE ISOLATED. THIS
IS ACCOMPLISHED BY DISCONNECTING THE S7/P7 PLUG ON THE
TRANSFORMER PANEL. AN AUTOMATIC ENGINE START WILL
OCCUR UNLESS THE GENERATOR RUN SWITCH SET TO “OFF.” I

F

,

HOWEVER, A TRANSFER SWITCH IS SUPPLIED WITH A FOUR-POSI-
TION SELECTOR SWITCH (OPTION 6H), IT CAN BE TURNED TO THE
OFF POSITION, MAKING IT UNNECESSARY TO UNPLUG THE LOGIC.
IN THE CASE OF THE ATS DESIGN, ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE
THE MANUAL HANDLE WITHOUT FIRST ISOLATING THE CONTROL
CIRCUIT CAUSES AN AUTOMATIC TRANSFER.
