Fundamentals of ATS

An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) has three main components: the controller, switch actuator, and power relays. The controller monitors power sources, controls the switch actuator to transfer load between sources, and incorporates time delays. It uses inputs like voltage sensing and position switches, and outputs include controlling the switch actuator and power relays. The ATS automatically transfers load between preferred and standby power sources, and can be tested or exercised for functionality.

207 3/26/2015 Cummins Confidential


Gather
 Gather information and speak with the operator
 Determine the symptom of the faulty transfer switch
– Will not transfer, retransfer, nuisance starting, etc.
 Perform a visual inspection of the overall area to
ensure that it will be safe to perform an operation
check (JSA)
 Check for the following:
– Electrical damage to contacts or components
– Loose wiring
– Indicator LED’s
– Fault/Event history

208 3/26/2015 Cummins Confidential


Gather cont.

 Test the transfer switch to replicate the problem


 Write down all symptoms outside of normal operation
 If the switch is still displaying the problem, move on
to the next step
– For correct operation of a transfer switch, you need the
following
• Voltage/Frequency sensing
• Position Sensing
• Power available to transfer/retransfer

 DOCUMENT!

209 3/26/2015 Cummins Confidential


Analyze
 Isolate the System
– Narrow Down the possibilities by system
– Remove customer wiring
– If it doesn’t transfer, does it retransfer?
 START WITH THE BASICS
– Genset doesn’t start?
• Remote Start wiring, Genset problem, TDES
– Switch doesn’t transfer?
• Genset voltage, inhibit(s), K2/K3, TDNE
– Switch doesn’t retransfer?
• Utility voltage, inhibit(s), K1/K3, TDEN
– Genset doesn’t shutdown?

Test

 Test the Likely Problem Components


– Test components in order of likeliness based on
troubleshooting trees and symptoms that are present
 Perform Manufacturers Recommended Test
 Can the component be fixed or does it need to be
replaced?

211 3/26/2015 Cummins Confidential


Repair

 Perform Repair
– Make sure to check with customer
 Double check that the component to be replaced is
the problem component
– Ensure the test performed was done correctly and the
proper solution was reached
 Ensure that the proper procedures are followed
based on the manufacturing guidelines
 DOCUMENT!

212 3/26/2015 Cummins Confidential


Retest

 Test the transfer switch to ensure that the problem is


fixed
 Perform entire sequence – genset start, transfer,
retransfer, genset shutdown
 If the transfer switch still doesn’t operate correctly, is
it displaying the same symptom(s)?
– Are there multiple faults
 DOCUMENT! Ensure proper documentation for all
worked performed is completed
