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. There is also a pre-
wired, wire whip that allows for easy connection to the main
distribution panel.
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. También existe
una conexión flexible precableada que permite una fácil
conexión del panel de distribución principal.
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
delgenerador.
