E. Installing 240 Volt Circuits
Reliance Controls 6-Circuit Transfer switch (In Kit) is shipped from
the factory with one installed handle tie on two adjacent circuits.
Let’s assume that, according to your set-up plan, Switches C & D
on the 6-Circuit transfer switch will be used to supply power to your
well pump, a 240 Volt appliance. (Figure 6)
1.
Find the two red and the two black wires marked C & D.
2.
Turn off the double pole breaker for the well pump in the load
center.
3.
Disconnect the two installed wires on the double pole breaker.
4.
Cut the two red wires from Switches C & D at a length
convenient for them to reach to the double pole breaker. Strip
5/8” from the end of each red wire. Connect both red wires to
the double pole circuit breaker in place of the wires you just
removed from that breaker. It doesn’t matter in what order.
5.
Cut the black wires marked C & D to a length convenient to
reach to the wires you removed from the double pole breaker in
#3. Strip 5/8” from the end of each wire.
6.
Connect one of the wires you removed from the double pole
breaker in #3 with one of the black wires (either C or D) with a
yellow wire connector. Similarly, connect the other wire you
removed with the remaining black wire with a wire connector.
F. Completing the Installation of the
Transfer Switch
When you have wired all of the circuits from the transfer switch into
your load center and have properly installed the green and white
wires to ground the unit, you have finished the installation. (Figure
7) Just a few more steps to wrap things up.
1.
Replace the cover of the load center.
2.
If you have not already done so, fill in the chart on the top of the
transfer switch to identify your emergency circuits and the
toggle switches they correspond to.
3.
Do not turn the main and individual circuit breakers in your load
center back on until you have installed all other transfer switch
components in Sections G, H and I which follow.
When Installing 240 Volt Circuits
The transfer switch circuits with 20 Amp breakers must be con-
nected only to branch circuits with 20 Amp breakers in the load
center. Do not connect transfer switch circuits to any branch cir-
cuits greater than 20 Amps.
NOTE: The transfer switch circuits with 15 Amp breakers can be
connected to branch circuits with either 15 or 20 Amp breakers
in the load center.
