Section 2 — Installation RTS “W” Type Transfer Switch 2.1 INTRODUCTION TO INSTALLATION This equipment has been wired and tested at the factory. Installing the switch includes the following procedures: • Mounting the enclosure. • Connecting utility and generator power source leads. • Connecting the load leads. • Connecting any auxiliary contact (if needed) • Installing/connecting any options and accessories. • Testing functions. 2.2 2.4.1 2-POLE MECHANISM These switches (Figure 2.
Section 2 — Installation RTS “W” Type Transfer Switch Solderless, screw-type terminal lugs are standard. 2.5 The conductor size range is as follows: Switch Rating Wire Range 400A (1) #4-600 MCM or (2) 1/0-250 MCM Conductor sizes must be adequate to handle the maximum current to which they will be subjected; based on the 75°C column of tables, charts, etc. used to size conductors. The installation must comply fully with all applicable codes, standards and regulations.
Section 3 — Operation RTS “W” Type Transfer Switch 3.1 FUNCTIONAL TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS Following transfer switch installation and interconnection, inspect the entire installation carefully. A competent, qualified electrician should inspect it. The installation should comply strictly with all applicable codes, standards, and regulations. When absolutely certain the installation is proper and correct, complete a functional test of the system.
Section 3 — Operation RTS “W” Type Transfer Switch Figure 3.1 — Actuating Transfer Switch Measure across ATS terminal lugs N1 to NEUTRAL, N2 to NEUTRAL, and N3 to NEUTRAL. 3. Three-phase only. Locate the 3 phase power monitor relay. Verify the following: 208 Vac system - LED Green and ON The factory setting is 80% of nominal voltage (208 Vac systems = 166 Vac dropout) 4. If the LED indicator is Red or not ON, then it will be necessary to adjust the power monitor relay setting.
Section 3 — Operation RTS “W” Type Transfer Switch DANGER WITH CAUTION. GENERATOR PROCEED OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS NOW BEING DELIVERED TO TRANSFER SWITCH TERMINALS. CONTACT WITH LIVE TERMINALS RESULTS IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY FATAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK. 4. With an accurate AC voltmeter and frequency meter, check the no-load, voltage and frequency.
