Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches
3.2.4 TRANSFER MECHANISM
The transfer switch uses Eaton Magnum insulated case switching
devices and insulated case switches with a stored-energy mecha-
nism. An electrical operator automatically recharges the mecha-
nism after the switching device has been closed, and an indicator
on the switch shows whether it is in the OPEN or CLOSED posi-
tion and the status of the stored energy mechanism.
The switching device is closed by energizing a solenoid that
releases the spring mechanism. A shunt trip will open the switch-
ing device if energized.
