Mobile Generator Using Remote Start Capabilities
12.2 Remote Transfer Switch
Background A remote transfer switch is designed to transfer electrical loads from the normal
power source (utility) to the emergency power source (generator) when normal
voltage falls below a prescribed level.
The remote transfer switch automatically returns the load back to the normal
source when power is restored back to operating levels.
Precautions
■
Installation of a remote transfer switch or other type of remote starting device is
the responsibility of the generator user.
■
Installation of such devices must be performed by a qualified electrician
following all directions supplied by the manufacturer of the switch.
■
If attaching the generator to a power supply normally serviced by a utility
company, notify the utility company and check local and state regulations.
■
Familiarize yourself with all instructions and warning labels supplied with the
switch.
WARNING
Electrocution hazard. Failure to isolate the generator from the utility’s electrical
distribution system could cause output from the generator to backfeed into the
utility lines and cause injury or death to utility workers!
►
When the generator is used as a stand-by power supply, it must be equipped
with a device which isolates it from the utility’s distribution system.
►
An isolation device is also required if the generator is being used as a backup to
some other type of power supply system.
CAUTION
Possibility of injury or equipment damage. Failure to match phase rotation and
voltage may cause equipment connected to the generator to operate incorrectly.
►
When using the generator as a stand-by or substitute power supply, make sure
the voltage and phase rotation of the line connections match those of the utility
lines or of any other power source normally used.
DANGER
Electrocution hazard. Lethal voltage is always present in the transfer switch once it
has been properly installed.
►
Disconnect power before servicing the transfer switch.
