2.03 Construction
A. The transfer switches shall consist of completely enclosed contact
assemblies and a separate control logic panel. The contact assemblies shall
be operated by a non-fused motor operator or stored energy mechanism and
be energized only momentarily during transfer, providing inherently double
throw switching action. Control power for all transfer operations shall be
derived from the line side of the source to which the load is being transferred.
B. Transfer switches shall be capable of being operated manually under full
load conditions. Manual operation shall be accomplished via a permanently
affixed manual operator or integrally mounted pushbutton operators located
on the face of the contact assemblies. Removable manual operating handles
and handles which move in the event that electrical operators should
suddenly become energized while performing a manual transfer operation
are not acceptable. The manual operator shall provide the same contact-to-
contact transfer time as provided under normal automatic operation to
prevent possible flashovers from switching the main contacts slowly. In
addition, provisions shall be made to allow disengagement of the electrical
operator during manual operation.
C. Each transfer switch shall be positively interlocked both mechanically and
electrically to prevent simultaneous closing of both sources under either
automatic or manual operation. Main contacts shall be mechanically locked
in position in both normal and emergency positions. A neutral position shall
not be possible under normal electrical operation unless a delayed transition
accessory is required for switching highly inductive loads. Each transfer
switch shall have a manual neutral position for load circuit maintenance. A
transfer switch position indicator shall be visible from the front of the switch to
show to which source the transfer switch is connected.
!If!SvcEntr!Yes!
D. Where shown on the drawings, transfer switches applied as service entrance
switches shall be provided with overcurrent trip units and a service entrance
label. An external key-operated selector switch shall be provided to
disconnect the power supplies. External pilot lights shall indicate the
availability of each source as well as breakers in a tripped or disconnected
position. Provide a neutral disconnect link for three-pole solid neutral
switches, and a neutral-to-ground main bonding jumper for all switches to
meet UL service entrance requirements. Ground fault protection shall be
provided for all switches rated 1000 amperes or more applied on 480Y/277
volts AC systems in accordance with NEC article 230-95.
!Endif!
E. All three-phase four-wire transfer switches used on systems with ground fault
equipment shall be true four-pole switched neutral type with all four poles for
each source being fully rated and connected to a common shaft. The fourth
(neutral) pole contacts shall be of identical construction as, and operate
simultaneously with, the main power contacts. Add-on or overlapping neutral
contacts are not acceptable.
F. Inspection and replacement of all separate arcing contacts (moving and
stationary) shall be possible from the front of the transfer switch.
G. A solid-state sensing and control logic panel shall be separately mounted
from the power switching portion of the transfer switch. The two sections
shall be connected by control cables with plug-in connectors. The control
 section shall be capable of being disconnected from the power section for
maintenance purposes.
H. The logic circuit shall utilize solid-state components mounted on printed
circuit boards to accomplish functions such as timing, time delays, and
voltage and frequency monitoring. LEDs shall be furnished to indicate the
operation of each solid-state function. Construction shall be such that
functions are individually replaceable without requiring replacement of the
complete solid-state package. Plug-in modifications shall be available for
field installation without voiding the UL label.
I. The transfer switch shall be equipped with a voltage selection plug making it
suitable for operation on any voltage from 208 through 600 volts AC, 50 or 60
Hertz, by placing the voltage selection plug in the proper voltage receptacle.
Covers shall be used to block off the unused receptacles.
!If!Drawout!Yes!
2.04 Drawout design

termination of conductors shown on the plans.
2.06 Sequence of operation
A. Upon loss of phase-to-phase voltage of the normal source to 70% of
nominal, and after a time delay, adjustable from 0.5 to 15 seconds, to
override momentary dips and/or outages, a 10 ampere, 30VDC contact shall
close to initiate starting of the emergency or standby source power plant.
Transfer to the alternate source shall take place immediately upon attainment
of 90% of rated voltage and frequency of that source. For switches not
involving engine generator sets as power plants, transfer shall occur after an
adjustable time delay of 1 to 60 seconds to override momentary dips and
outages.
B. When the normal source has been restored to 90% of rated voltage, and
after a time delay, adjustable from 0.5 to 32 minutes (to ensure the integrity
of the normal power source), the load shall be retransferred to the normal
source.
C. A time delay, adjustable from 0.5 to 32 minutes, shall delay shutdown of the
emergency or standby power source after retransfer to allow the generator to
run unloaded for cool-down, after which the generator shall be automatically
shut down.
D. If the emergency or standby power should fail while carrying the load,
transfer to the normal power supply shall be made instantaneously upon
restoration of the normal source to satisfactory conditions.

!If!Generator!Yes!
B. When the alternate source is an engine generator, the following accessories
shall also be provided:
1. Time delay engine start, adjustable.
2. Time delay engine cool off, adjustable.
3. Engine start contact.
4. Frequency/voltage relay for emergency source, frequency adjustable
from 45 to 60 Hz and voltage fixed at 90% pickup, 70% dropout.
5. Delayed transition time delay, adjustable from 0 to 120 seconds, to
allow disconnection of the load during transfer in either direction to
prevent excessive inrush currents due to out-of-phase switching of
large inductive loads.
6. Four-position selector switch permitting four modes of transfer switch
operation: "Test" (simulates normal power outage), "Auto" (standard
automatic operation), "OFF" (de-energizes control relays and opens
the engine start circuit for maintenance purposes), "Engine Start"
(retains transfer switch in normal position and initiates a testing of
the engine start circuit). Furnish white pilot light for "OFF" indication.
