Equipment Description
These new generation transfer switches are intended to
operate compatible electrical loads of normal residential
installations. 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. It has ratings capable of switching
generator power into the residence.
The control module circuit 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. The control board
also contains red and green lights indicating the power
sources available.
