40-400A (480/600Vac) ATC-300+ 3-Postion 

Contactor Based Transfer Switch

23K. Plant Exerciser Selectable – Disabled/1/7/14/28 Day Inter-

val

This feature provides for automatic test operation of the 

generator.  Available test cycles are daily, 7, 14, or 28 

days with duration equal to the programmed engine test 

time.

Programmable setpoints allow for selection of three test 

cycles:

Engine Start/Run Only (No Load);

Exercise with Load Transfer; or

Disabled

This is a “Failsafe” operation.

26.

Source 1 - Monitoring and Protection

This feature provides Source 1 monitoring and protection 

functions.  If the Source 1 power supply fails, then the 

Automatic Transfer Controller will begin the sequence of 

operations necessary to transfer the load circuit to the 

Source 2 power supply.  All Feature 26 monitoring and 

protection functions are Failsafe operations.

26D. Go to Source 2

This feature provides the capability for an external contact 

opening to initiate a load circuit transfer to the Source 2 

power source.  This includes starting the engine/generator, 

performing the programmed time delays, and the transfer 

operation.  Re-transfer will occur when the external con-

tact is closed or under a Failsafe condition.  

26H. Phase Reversal Protection

For a 3-phase wye source, this feature monitors the phase 

sequence of the sources.  If a source does not have the 

same ABC or CBA sequence as the phase reversal set-

point, the source will be considered “Unavailable”.

For a 3-phase delta source, this feature should be turned 

off via the PHASE REV setpoint.

26J. All Phase Undervoltage and Underfrequency Protection

Adjustable Undervoltage:

Dropout: 78 - 97% of nominal

Pickup: (D2%) to 99% of nominal

Adjustable Underfrequency:

Dropout: 90 - 97% of nominal

Pickup: (D1Hz) to 99% of nominal

26K. All Phase Overvoltage/Overfrequency

Adjustable Overvoltage:

Dropout: 105 - 110% of nominal

Pickup:103% to (Dropout –2%) of nominal

Adjustable Overfrequency:

Dropout: 103 - 105% of nominal

Pickup: 101% to (Dropout -1Hz) of nominal

26L. Source 1 3-Phase Voltage Unbalance

.For a 3-phase wye source, this feature monitors phase 

voltage ratios.  Voltage unbalance (%) is calculated as the 

difference between the maximum and minimum phase 

voltage, divided by the minimum phase voltage.  User-

selectable setpoints are available for dropout and pickup 

unbalance settings (minimum 2% differential).  Dropout is 

adjustable from 5 to 20%.  Pickup is adjustable from 3 to 

(Dropout –2%)).  A setpoint for user-selectable time delay 

from 10 to 30 seconds is provided.  The factory default 

setpoints are: 5% dropout, 3% pickup, and 30 seconds 

time delay.  A user-selectable setpoint for enable and dis-

able is also provided.

When an unbalance condition is detected on Source 1, the 

Unbalance Timer (TD UNBAL) starts timing.  After TD 

UNBAL times out, Source 1 is declared “failed”.

For a 3-phase delta source, this feature should be turned 

off via the VOLT UNBAL setpoint.

29.

Alternate Transfer Modes of Operation

Provides standard or optional transfer modes, mode selec-

tion devices, and operational methods for ATSs.

29J. Type of Operation (MANTR) Operation (new feature)

This feature provides for a selection between an automatic 

transfer and re-transfer mode or a manual pushbutton re-

transfer to Normal from the Emergency Source mode. If 

this option is not selected the factory default selection is 

automatic.

32.

Delayed Transition Transfer Modes for Open Transition 

Transfer Switches

This feature provides delayed transition transfer modes 

for an open transition transfer switch.  Often used in sys-

tems with inductive loads, a delayed transition transfer 

switch may prevent or reduce in-rush currents due to out 

of phase switching of inductive loads.

32A. Time Delay Neutral

This feature provides a time delay in the neutral position 

during the transfer and re-transfer operations during 

which both Source 1 and Source 2 are disconnected from 

the load circuit.  The time delay is programmable and is 

the same for both transfer and re-transfer operations.

Adjustable 0 - 120 Seconds

35.

Pre-Transfer Signal

This feature provides a signal to a remote device prior to a 

re-transfer operation.  It provides one Form “C” contact 

(NO/NC) for interface with other equipment (typically ele-

vator controls).  The contacts close/open on a timed basis 

prior to transfer in either direction.  After TDNE/TDEN 

times out, this relay closes and the Pre-transfer Timer 

(TPRE) starts timing.  After the TPRE times out, the trans-

fer proceeds by starting the TDN timer if enabled.  The 

pre-transfer relay opens after the transfer is complete.

Adjustable 0 - 120 Seconds

35A. Pre-Transfer Signal with 1 N.O. and 1 N.C. Contacts

This feature provides pre-transfer signal and includes 1 

N.O. and 1N.C. contacts.
