S&C Instruction Sheet 663-500    7

Overview

The following instructions are for installation of S&C 
Source-Transfer PMH Pad-Mounted Gear equipped with 
the Micro-AT Source-Transfer Control. This switchgear is 
a totally self-contained switching and protection package 
providing fault protection and fully automatic two-way 
source transfer for critical loads requiring a high degree 
of service continuity. Source-Transfer PMH models that 
include the S&C Micro-AT Source-Transfer Control provide 
programmed control of all switching functions associated 
with automatic source transfer.

Refer to S&C Instruction Sheet 663-503 for instructions 

regarding operation of Source-Transfer PMH Pad- Mounted 
Gear. For instructions about field programming and opera-
tion of the Micro-AT control, refer to S&C Instruction Sheet 
515-500. These instruction sheets, along with a catalog 
dimensional drawing showing cable-locating and anchor-
bolt dimensions, are included in the “Installation and 
Operation Information Kit” provided with the switchgear. 
Wiring diagrams for the switchgear and associated options 
are also provided in the kit. All personnel involved with the 
installation and operation of the equipment should be thor-
oughly familiar with the contents of the information kit.

The catalog number stamped on the nameplates affixed 

to the outside of the doors of the pad-mounted gear is suf-
fixed with letter-number combinations. These suffixes 
indicate the inclusion of options, such as key interlocks 
(catalog number suffix “-C5”). Refer to Specification  
Bulletin 663A-31 for a complete listing of the available 
options for the switchgear.
