Introduction and Safety

Automatic Transfer Switch Owner’s Manual 3

General Hazards

•Any AC generator that is used for backup power if

a NORMAL (UTILITY) power source failure occurs

must be isolated from the NORMAL (UTILITY)

power source by means of an approved transfer

switch. Failure to properly isolate the NORMAL

and STANDBY power sources from each other

may result in injury or death to electric utility

workers, due to backfeed of electrical energy.

•Extremely high power and dangerous voltages are

present inside an installed transfer switch. Any

contact with high voltage terminals, contacts or

wires can result in LETHAL electric shock, while

arc flash can cause blindness and severe burns.

DO NOT WORK ON THE TRANSFER SWITCH

UNTIL YOU HAVE CONFIRMED THAT ALL

POWER SUPPLIES TO THE SWITCH ARE

TURNED OFF.

•Competent, qualified personnel should install,

operate and service this equipment. Adhere strictly

to local, state and national electrical and building

codes. When using this equipment, comply with

regulations the National Electrical Code (NEC),

CSA Standard; C22.1 Canadian Electric Code and

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) have established.

•Never handle any kind of electrical device while

standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or

feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK

MAY RESULT.

•Because jewelry conducts electricity, wearing it

may cause dangerous electrical shock. Remove all

jewelry (such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc.)

before working on this equipment.

•If working on this equipment while standing on

metal or concrete, place insulative mats over a dry

wood platform. Work on this equipment only while

standing on such insulative mats.

•Never work on this equipment while physically or

mentally fatigued.

•Keep the transfer switch enclosure door closed

and bolted at all times. Only qualified personnel

should be permitted access to the switch interior.

•When an automatic transfer switch is installed for a

standby generator set, the generator engine may

crank and start at any time without warning. To

avoid possible injury that might be caused by such

sudden start-ups, the system’s automatic start

circuit must be disabled before working on or

around the generator or transfer switch. Then

place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on the transfer

switch and on the generator.

•Any voltage measurements should be performed

with a meter that meets UL3111 safety standards,

and meets or exceeds overvoltage class CAT III.

Automatic Transfer Switch Owner’s Manual 5

Section 2: General Information

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Generac transfer switch. This

manual has been prepared especially for the purpose of

familiarizing personnel with the design, application,

installation, operation and servicing of the applicable

equipment. Read this manual carefully and comply with

all instructions. This will help to prevent accidents or

damage to equipment that might otherwise be caused by

carelessness, incorrect application, or improper

procedures.

Every effort has been expended to make sure that the

contents of this manual are both accurate and current.

The manufacturer, however, reserves the right to change,

alter or otherwise improve the product or manual at any

time without prior notice.

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the transfer switch. Inspect closely for

any damage that might have occurred during shipment.

The purchaser must file with the carrier any claims for

loss or damage incurred while in transit.

Check that all packing material is completely removed

from the switch prior to installation.

Equipment Description

The automatic transfer switch is used for transferring

electrical load from a UTILITY (NORMAL) power source

to a GENERATOR (STANDBY) power source. Such a

transfer of electrical loads occurs automatically when the

UTILITY power source has failed or is substantially

reduced and the GENERATOR source voltage and

frequency have reached an acceptable level. The

transfer switch prevents electrical feedback between two

different power sources (such as the UTILITY and

GENERATOR sources) and, for that reason, codes

require it in all standby electric system installations.

The transfer switch consists of a transfer mechanism,

utility service disconnect circuit breaker (if equipped), a

control relay, fuses, terminal strip, and fuse holder for

connection of sensing wires.

This transfer switch is suitable for use as service

equipment.

Transfer Switch Mechanism

These switches (Figure 2-1) are used with a three-phase

system when the three-phase NEUTRAL line is to be

connected to a neutral lug and is not to be switched.

Solderless, screw-type terminal lugs are standard.

The conductor size range is as follows:

This transfer switch is suitable for control of motors,

electric discharge lamps, tungsten filament and electric

heating equipment where the sum of motor full load

ampere ratings and the ampere ratings of other loads do

not exceed the ampere rating of the switch and the

tungsten load does not exceed 30 percent of the switch

rating.

This UL listed transfer switch is for use in optional

standby systems only (NEC article 702).

The 100A transfer switch is suitable for use on a circuit

capable of 14,000 rms symmetrical amperes, 480 VAC

maximum. The 200A transfer switch is suitable for use on

a circuit capable of 18,000 rms symmetrical amperes,

480 VAC maximum.

Utility Service Circuit Breaker

The utility service circuit breakers for the 100/200 amp

models are:

•Type 225AF, 3 Pole

•240/480 VAC, 100A/200A

•50/60 Hertz

•Wire range:

– Line—300 MCM - 6 STR (Cu/Al)

•The conductor tightening torque is:

– Line—375 in-lbs (42.4 Nm)

Transfer Switch Data Decal

A data decal is permanently affixed to the transfer switch

enclosure. Use this transfer switch only with the specific

limits shown on the data decal and on other decals and

labels that may be affixed to the switch. This will prevent

damage to equipment and property.

When requesting information or ordering parts for this

equipment, make sure to include all information from the

data decal.

For future reference, record the Model and Serial

numbers in the space provided on the front cover of this

manual.

Transfer Switch Enclosure

The standard switch enclosure is a National Electrical

Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) and UL 3R type. UL

and NEMA 3R (indoor/outdoor rated) type enclosures

primarily provide a degree of protection against falling

rain and sleet, and are undamaged by the formation of

ice on the enclosure.

Safe Use of Transfer Switch

Before installing, operating or servicing this equipment,

read Introduction and Safety carefully. Comply strictly

with all information presented in Introduction and

Safety to prevent accidents and/or damage to the

equipment. The manufacturer recommends that a copy

of Introduction and Safety be posted near the transfer

switch. Also, be sure to read all instructions and

information found on tags, labels and decals affixed to

the equipment.

Two publications that outline the safe use of transfer

switches are the following:

•NFPA 70; National Electrical Code

•UL 1008, STANDARD FOR SAFETY-AUTOMATIC

TRANSFER SWITCHES

NOTE: It is essential to use the latest version of any

standard to ensure correct and current information.
