1.2 General Information
ATSs are used to protect critical electrical loads against loss of
power. The load’s utility power source is backed up by a genera-
tor power source. An ATS is connected to both the utility and
generator power sources and supplies the load with power from
one of these two sources. In the event that power is lost from the
utility power source, the ATS transfers the load to the generator
power source. Once the utility power is restored, the load is auto-
matically transferred back to the utility power source (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Typical Load Transfer Switch (Contactor) Schematic.
An intelligence system initiates the transfer when the utility power
source fails or falls below a preset voltage. An engine start is
then initiated by the generator and the ATS transfers to the gener-
ator power source when sufficient generator voltage is available.
When the utility power source is restored, the ATS automatically
transfers back and the generator will shut down after a time delay.
In the event the utility power source fails and the generator
power source does not appear, the ATS remains connected to the
utility power source until the generator power source does appear.
Conversely, if connected to the generator power source and the
generator power source fails while the utility power source is still
unavailable, the ATS remains connected to the generator power
source.
ATSs automatically perform the transfer function, and include
three basic elements.
1. Main contacts to connect and disconnect the load to and from
the source of power.
2. Solenoids to make the transfer of the main contacts from
source to source.
3. Intelligence/supervisory circuits to constantly monitor the con-
dition of the power sources and thus provide the intelligence
necessary for the switch and related circuit operation.
1.2.1 Design Configuration
The Eaton Residential ATS is a rugged, compact design that uti-
lizes power contactors to transfer essential loads from one power
source to another (see Figure 3). The Residential ATS contains
suitable mechanical and/or electrical interlock switches to elimi-
nate the possibility of connecting the utility service to the genera-
tor output. In addition, a manual override lever is provided for the
transfer function.
Figure 3. EGS100L24R (100 A).
1.2.2 Load Shed Contacts
Two sets of contacts are available and can be used to control
large connected loads on the generator (i.e. air conditioners, hot
tubs, etc.). The contacts are rated for 250 Vac, 5 amps maxi-
mum.
1.3 Transfer Switch Catalog Number Identification
ATS equipment catalog numbers provide a significant amount of
relevant information pertaining to a specific piece of equipment.

1.4 Environmental and Operational Conditions
Normally, an ATS is applied indoors in an electrical equipment
room. It can also be used for normal outdoor applications (with
standard NEMA 3R enclosure) where the equipment is subject to
falling rain, freezing temperatures, and 95% humidity (non-con-
densing). The ambient temperature range for operation is
between -20 and 70°C (-4 and 158°F).
1.5 Glossary
With respect to their use within this document and as they relate
to transfer switch and controller operation, the following terminol-
ogy is defined.
Available
A source is defined as “available” when it is within its undervolt-
age setpoint ranges for the nominal voltage setting.
Connected
Connected is defined as when the input is shorted by an external
contact or connection.
Failed or Fails
A source is defined as “failed” when it is outside of the applicable
voltage setpoint ranges for the nominal voltage and for a time
exceeding 0.5 seconds after the time delay emergency fail (TDEF)
time delays expires.
Failsafe
Failsafe is a feature that prevents disconnection from the only
available power source and also forces a transfer or re-transfer
operation to the only available power source.
Re-Transfer
Re-transfer is defined as a change of the load connection from the
Generator to the Utility.
Utility
Utility is the primary source (normal source, normal power source,
or normal).
Generator
Generator is the secondary source (generator emergency source,
emergency power source, emergency, standby, or backup
source).
Utility: Failed or Fails
Utility is defined as “failed” when it is outside of its undervoltage
setpoint ranges for the nominal voltage and frequency setting.
Generator: Failed or Fails
Generator is defined as “failed” when it is outside of its undervolt-
age/underfrequency/overfrequency (if applicable) setpoint ranges
for the nominal voltage and frequency setting for a time exceeding
0.5 seconds after the Time Delay Emergency Fail (TDEF) time
delay expires.
Transfer
Transfer is defined as a change of the load connection from the
Utility to the Generator power source.
Unconnected
Unconnected is defined as when the input is not shorted by an
external contact or connection.

SECTION 2: RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND
STORAGE
2.1 Receiving
Every effort is made to ensure that the ATS equipment arrives at
its destination undamaged and ready for installation. The packing
is designed to protect the internal components as well as the
enclosure. Care should be exercised, however, to protect the
equipment from impact at all times. Do not remove the protective
packaging until the equipment is at the installation site and ready
to be installed.
When the ATS equipment reaches its destination, the customer
should inspect the shipping container for any obvious signs of
rough handling and/or external damage that occurred during trans-
portation. Record any external and internal damage for reporting
to the transportation carrier and to the Eaton sales representative,
once a thorough inspection is complete. All claims should be as
specific as possible and include the Shop Order and General Order
numbers.
A shipping label affixed to the shipping container includes a vari-
ety of equipment and customer information, such as General
Order and catalog numbers. Make certain that this information
matches the other shipping paper information.
Each ATS enclosure is packaged in its own box. Do not discard
the packing material until the equipment is ready for installation.
Once the packaging is removed from the shipment, the enclosure
door can be opened. A plastic bag of documents will be found in
the enclosure. Important documents, such as wiring diagrams and
appropriate instruction leaflets are enclosed within the bag and
should be filed in a safe place.
2.2 Handling
As previously mentioned, ATS equipment is packaged in its own
box. Protect the equipment from impact at all times and do not
double stack. Once the equipment is at the installation site and
ready to be installed, the packaging material can be removed.
Refer to Section 4 of this manual for specific installation instruc-
tions.
2.3 Storage
Although well packaged, this equipment is not suitable for outdoor
storage. The equipment warranty will not be applicable if there is
evidence of outdoor storage. If the equipment is to be stored
indoors for any period of time, it should be stored with its protec-
tive packaging material in place. Protect the equipment at all
times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive condi-
tions, and other contaminants. It is strongly suggested that the
package-protected equipment be stored in a climate-controlled
environment of -20 to 70°C (-4 to 158°F), with a relative humid-
ity of 80% or less. Do not, under any circumstance, stack other
equipment on top of an ATS equipment enclosure, whether pack-
aged or not.
SECTION 3: EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Introduction
The Eaton Residential ATS is assembled and tested at the factory.
It is designed to be used in conjunction with standby power distri-
bution equipment to provide an alternate source of power to criti-
cal circuits in the event that the primary power source is
interrupted.
This ATS monitors both utility and generator power sources and
automatically transfers critical load circuits between the two
sources, depending on which source is available. The utility
power source is preferred and will remain connected to the switch
if it is available.
3.2 Power Panel
The power panel is used for making load, power, and neutral con-
nections. The power contactor is mounted on a steel baseplate
(Figure 4).
Figure 4. Typical Power Panel for 100 A.
3.2.1 Main Contacts
This ATS incorporates power contactors as the main switching
device. The main contacts connect and disconnect the load to and
from the different power sources. The power contactor is
mechanically interlocked to prevent the two sets of main contacts
from being closed simultaneously.

4.5 Wiring
4.6 Installation
In a typical installation for critical loads (see Figure 10), the ATS
(1) and the generator (2) are connected to the power supply. The
ATS and emergency distribution panel (1) receive utility power
from a dedicated breaker in the utility service panel (3). The ATS
and emergency panel receive generator power from the generator
(2). Power from the utility feeds the utility panel.
Figure 10. Typical Installation of a Residential ATS.
The ATS (1) and generator (2) are connected to the power supply.
The automatic transfer switch is located between the generator
and the utility panel (3).
When the utility power fails, the ATS will sense the failure, the
generator will start, and when sufficient generator voltage is avail-
able, the ATS will switch all loads to the emergency panel. All
emergency loads will receive power from the generator. A line
breaker is required between the generator power source and the
transfer switch (see Figure 11). When utility power returns, the
ATS will switch all power back to the utility panel and the genera-
tor will shut down.
Figure 11. Diagram of a Typical Installation (Critical Loads Only).
4.7 Generator Utility Sensing Connection
The generator utility sensing connections are located on the fuse
block that is installed at the bottom of the power panel. The utility
sensing wires, required for proper generator operation, are con-
nected at this point.
Note: Prior to making the generator utility sensing connection to the ATS,
set the generator control selector switch to the OFF position to prevent an
unwanted generator start. Control wiring, such as the generator utility
sensing wires, must be run separately from the power cables.
Use the proper wire size as listed by the generator set (Genset)
manufacturer.
This ATS is intended for use on generators with built in auto start
features. These generators sense, and react to, utility power.
Remote starting contacts are not provided in this transfer switch.
WARNING
POWER CONDUCTORS AND CONTROL WIRING MAY HAVE VOLT-
AGE PRESENT THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH. DE-ENERGIZE ALL POWER OR CONTROL CIRCUIT CONDUC-
TORS BEFORE BEGINNING TO PERFORM ANY WIRING ACTIVITY TO
OR WITHIN THE ATS EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION
CHECK THE ATS EQUIPMENT NAMEPLATE FOR RATED VOLTAGE.
IT SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE UTILITY AND GENERATOR LINE
VOLTAGES. OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT ON IMPROPER VOLTAGE

SECTION 5: FUNCTIONAL TESTING
5.1 Preliminary Checks
Step 1: Check all loads connected to the ATS to ensure that they
are ready to be energized.
5.2 Energize the Switch
Step 1: Close the upstream utility power source breaker or
switch to connect the ATS to the utility power source
voltage.
Step 2: Using a voltmeter, measure the line-to-line and the line-
to-neutral voltages across the utility line terminals to
ensure the utility voltage is correct.
Step 3: If the voltage is acceptable, the solenoid will engage and
the contactor will automatically switch to the UTILITY
position.
Step 4: Position the generator control selector switch, located on
the standby generator, to the AUTOSTART position. (It
may also be labeled REMOTE START or AUTO.)
5.3 Operational Checks
Step 1: Open the upstream utility breaker originally closed in
Step 1 of Section 5.2.
Step 2: After a time delay (based on the generator settings), the
standby generator engine will start.
Step 3: Using a voltmeter, measure the line-to-line and line-to-
neutral voltages across the generator line terminals to
ensure that the generator emergency voltage is correct.
If necessary, make adjustments to the voltage regulator
on the generator according to the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations to correct any voltage deviations. The ATS
will only respond to the correct voltage from the genera-

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE AND
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
7.1 Introduction
In general, ATS equipment is designed to be relatively mainte-
nance free under normal usage. However, because of the variabil-
ity of application conditions and the importance placed on
dependable operation by this type of equipment, inspection and
maintenance checks should be made on a regularly scheduled
basis. Since equipment maintenance will consist mainly of keep-
ing the equipment clean, the frequency of maintenance will
depend, to a large extent, on the cleanliness of its surroundings.
If a significant amount of dust or foreign matter is present, a more
frequent maintenance schedule should be followed.
It is suggested that visual inspections of the equipment be made
on a regular basis, not just during regularly scheduled periods.
Always be alert for an accumulation of dirt in and around the
structure, loose parts and/or hardware, cracks and/or discolora-
tion to insulation, and damaged or discolored components.
Figure 12 is the wiring diagram for the EGS 100 Amp ATS switch.
Note:Only qualified and experienced personnel should attempt any diag-
nostic work using this diagram.

WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN AND AROUND TRANSFER
SWITCH EQUIPMENT. BEFORE INSPECTING OR MAINTAINING THIS
EQUIPMENT, DISCONNECT THE LINE POWER FROM THE EQUIP-
MENT BEING SERVICED BY OPENING AND LOCKING OUT, IF POSSI-
BLE, THE NEXT HIGHEST DISCONNECT DEVICE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE COULD CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

7.2 Procedures
A suggested maintenance procedure to be followed is outlined in Table 3.
Table 3. Recommended Periodic Maintenance Procedures.
STEP ACTION
a. Make the transfer switch equipment safe for inspection and/or maintenance. Disconnect the line power from the equipment being serviced by opening next highest disconnect
device. Make certain that any accessory control power is switched off.
b. Inspect the structure area for safety hazards or potential maintenance problems. Inspect the area, especially where the contactor is installed, for any safety hazards, including per-
sonal safety and fire hazards. Exposure to certain chemical vapors can cause deterioration of the
electrical connections.
Inspect for accumulated dirt, loose hardware, or physical damage.
Examine the primary insulation for evidence of cracking or overheating. Overheating will show as
discoloration, melting, or blistering of the conductor insulation, or as pitting or melting of the con-
ductor surfaces due to arcing.
Inspect the secondary control connections for damage, and control wiring for insulation integrity.
c. Inspect the contactor for dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, or corrosion. Remove dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, and corrosion contamination from the surface of the
switching device using a dry, soft lint-free cloth, dry soft bristle brush, and vacuum cleaner. Do
not blow debris into the contactor. If contamination is found, look for the source and fix the prob-
lem.
d. Check for material integrity, uneven wear, discoloration, or loose hardware. Severe material cracking will require replacement and loose hardware will need to be tightened.
e. Check the terminals and connectors for looseness or signs of overheating. Overheating will show as discoloration, melting, or blistering of the conductor insulation.
Connections that do not have signs of looseness or overheating should not be disturbed.
f. Exercise the contactor if it is not often exercised while in operation. This will permit the wiping
action by the contacts.
If a switching device is used for frequent switching during normal operation, this step can be disre-
garded.
g. Return the transfer switch equipment to service. Make certain all barriers are in place and the door is closed. Re-apply generator and utility power.
