ATC-900 Magnum Tranfer Switch O & M Manual

Figure 33.Carriage Label Showing DISCONNECT, TEST, and
CONNECT Positions of the Recessed Cover.

6.1.2 Levering the Switching Device

The switching device is now ready to be levered.  With the 

switching device OPEN, the levering device access door can be 

raised.  The levering device is hand operated using a standard 

3/8” square drive and ratchet, which is not provided (Figure 34).  

As long as the access door is raised, the switching device is held 

in the “trip free” condition.  Begin by rotating the levering-in screw 

to the full counter clockwise (DISCONNECT) position.

Figure 34.Levering and Position Indication.

Close the compartment door and begin levering the switching 

device into its different positions using a clockwise ratcheting 

motion.  When the switching device is levered fully to the 

DISCONNECT or CONNECT position, the levering shaft hits a hard 

stop.  Do NOT exceed 25 ft lb (33.9 Nm) of torque or the levering 

mechanism may be damaged.

The position of the switching device within its compartment is 

indicated by color coded position indicators (See 

Figure 30 through 33):

Red=Connect;

Yellow=Test; and

Green=Disconnect.

To remove the switching device from its compartment, follow the 

procedure just described using a counter clockwise ratcheting 

motion.

6.2. Fixed Switching Device

The Magnum fixed type switching device differs from the drawout 

version in that it has no levering device, primary disconnects, and 

secondary disconnects (Figure 35).  In addition, a fixed switching 

device does not have a standard feature to hold the switching 

device in a “trip free” position

Figure 35. Typical Magnum Fixed Switching Device.

Fixed switching device terminals have holes for making bolted hor-

izontal primary bus connections.  Adapters are available for mak-

ing vertical primary bus connections.  Secondary connections can 

be made through standard terminal blocks or a special connector 

compatible with the drawout switching device’s type secondary 

connector.  Both secondary connection devices are mounted at 

the top front of the switching device.

NOTICE

THE SWITCHING DEVICE CAN BE LEVERED WITH THE COMPART-
MENT DOOR OPEN OR CLOSED, BUT IT IS ADVISABLE TO CLOSE
THE DOOR PRIOR TO LEVERING.

 

NOTICE

THE SWITCHING DEVICE MECHANISM IS INTERLOCKED SUCH
THAT CHARGED CLOSING SPRINGS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DIS-
CHARGED IF THE SWITCHING DEVICE IS LEVERED INTO OR OUT OF
THE CELL. DISCHARGE TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE DISCONNECT
AND TEST POSITION.
