Equipment Description

The transfer switch is designed to transfer the selected

loads found in normal residential installations to generator

power in the event of a utility power failure. The load is

connected either to utility power (normal) or home standby

power (generator). The transfer switch monitors utility and

generator voltages and will automatically connect to the

appropriate source of power.

Major components of the transfer switch are 2 pole

contactor switches, control circuit board, fused utility

terminals and interconnecting wiring.

The transfer switch is coil-operated from utility or generator

inputs and contains suitable electrical interlock switches to

eliminate the possibility of connecting the utility service to

the generator output.

The control board has active circuits sensing utility and

generator voltages. It creates a signal for the generator start-

up, switch transfer, retransfer when utility is restored and

generator cool down periods.

Descripción del equipo

El conectador está diseñado para transferir las cargas

seleccionadas de una instalación residencial normal

al suministro del generador en caso de un fallo en el

suministro de alimentación de la red pública. La carga

se conecta al suministro de servicio general (normal)

o al suministro doméstico de reserva (generador). El

conectador monitoriza las tensiones de la red pública y del

generador y conecta automáticamente la carga a la fuente de

alimentación apropiada.

Los componentes principales del conectador son los

interruptores de contacto bipolares, la tarjeta de circuito

impreso de control, los terminales con fusibles de tensión de

la red pública y el cableado de interconexión.

El conectador es accionado por una bobina alimentada

desde entradas de la red pública o del generador y tiene

interruptores de enclavamiento eléctricos, adecuados para

eliminar la posibilidad de conectar la red pública a la salida

del generador. Sus valores nominales son suficientes para

conectar la potencia del generador a la residencia.

La tarjeta de circuito impreso del módulo de control tiene

circuitos activos que detectan las tensiones de la red pública

y del generador. Genera una señal para el arranque del

generador, conectador, retransferencia cuando se restablece

la tensión en la red pública y períodos de enfriamiento

delgenerador.
