TRANSFER SWITCH REMOVAL

This procedure explains how to remove the Transfer

Switch for inspection and maintenance.

1. Bypass and Isolate the Automatic Transfer Switch by

carefully following directions on page 3–1. Be sure

that the ATS POSITION

DISCONNECTED

light is

on. Then remove the Isolation Handle.

Hazardous voltage capable of causing

electrical shock, burns, or death.

Do not touch isolation contact fingers.

2. Open the ATS cabinet doors all the way. Remove the

bottom louvered enclosure pan.

3. Separate the in–line disconnect plugs (P2 and P5) by

grasping and squeezing the plugs. Do not pull on the

harness wires.

4. Remove the Transfer Switch from the enclosure:

The enclosure tracks and floor in front must be free of

debris. Grasp the Transfer Switch carriage frame and
roll it out of the enclosure. See Figure 3-6.

Figure 3-6 Transfer Switch removed.

5. Close the cabinet doors.

TRANSFER SWITCH REINSTALLATION

This procedure explains how to install the Transfer Switch

after inspection and maintenance.

Hazardous voltage capable of causing

electrical shock, burns, or death.

Do not touch isolation contact fingers.

1. Open the ATS cabinet doors all the way. Remove the

bottom louvered enclosure pan (if not already

removed).

All arc chutes and interphase barriers must be in

place on the Transfer Switch. The enclosure

tracks and floor in front must be free of debris.

!

The Transfer Switch contacts must be closed

on the same source that is feeding the load

(use the maintenance handle – see page 1–6).

!

NOTE

: Be sure to install the correct Transfer

Switch into the enclosure. If more than one is

supplied, each will be labeled.

2. Install the Transfer Switch into the enclosure:

Grasp the Transfer Switch carriage frame and

roll it into the enclosure (isolation contacts

facing inward). Align the rollers between the

floor guides and push the carriage in until its

crank pins engage the latch plates on both

sides.

3. Reconnect the in---line disconnect plugs by grasping

and pressing them together. Be sure to connect the
correct plugs.

4. Close the cabinet door and install the enclosure pan.

5. Install the Isolation Handle.

Carefully follow

directions on page 3–3 to put the Isolation Handle in

the

TEST

position, then the

CLOSED

position.

Finally, follow directions on page 3–3 to put the

Bypass Handle in the

AUTOMATIC POS

(position).
