Section 2: General Information

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.

Verify all packing material is completely removed from

the switch prior to installation.

Equipment Description

This automatic transfer switch is used for transferring

electrical load from a utility (normal) power source to a

generator (standby) power source. 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), and

a Smart A/C module incorporating fuses and two terminal

blocks for transfer switch connections.

This transfer switch is equipped with a separately

accessible Utility Entry cabinet which houses a standard

4 Jaw Meter Socket. It is provided with a means for the

Electrical Utility provider to lock. An optional 5th Jaw Kit

is available if required.

The lower cabinet contains the Automatic Transfer

Switch and Service Disconnect Main Circuit Breaker with

Load Shed Module and customer terminations. RBU

Models do not come equipped with a transfer switch.

They may be upgraded to include a transfer switch with

G0074000 Upgrade Kit.

NOTE: Meters are retained by either a Ring or Ringless

method. Verify you have the proper type to meet local

code requirements.

Transfer Switch Mechanism (RXU Models Only)

See Figure 2-1. This switch is used with a single-phase

system when the single-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 of the 4 Jaw Meter Socket 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 ETL listed transfer switch is for use in optional

standby systems only (NEC article 702).

A 150A or 200A rated switch is suitable for use on a

circuit capable of 22,000 RMS symmetrical amperes, 240

VAC when protected by a circuit breaker without an

adjustable short time response or by fuses.

General Information

6Automatic Transfer Switch Owner’s Manual

Utility Service Circuit Breaker

The utility service circuit breakers for 150/200 amp

models are:

•Type 225AF, 2-pole

•22,000 A/C

•120/240VAC, 150A/200A

•50/60 Hertz

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 3R type. ETL

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

primarily provide a degree of protection against falling

rain and sleet; are undamaged by the formation of ice on

the enclosure.

Safe Use of Transfer Switch

Before installing, operating or servicing this equipment,

read the Safety Rules carefully. Comply strictly with all

Safety Rules to prevent accidents and/or damage to the

equipment. The manufacturer recommends that a copy

of the Safety Rules 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.

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

•ANSI/UL 414 Meter Sockets

•UL 891 (Busbar)

•ANSI C12.7 Meter Sockets

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

standard to guarantee correct and current information.

Load Management Options

Load management systems are designed to work

together to prevent a generator from being overloaded by

large appliance loads. A Smart A/C Module (SACM) is

provided as standard equipment with this switch. An

optional Smart Management Module (SMM) is also

available.

Smart A/C Module (SACM)

Up to four air conditioner loads can be managed by the

SACM. The SACM manages the loads by “shedding” the

connected loads in the event of a drop in generator

frequency (overload). Loads to be “shed” are in 4 priority

levels on the module.

See Figure 2-2. Priorities A/C 1-4 (A) have connections

for an air conditioner. To control an air conditioner, no

additional equipment is required. Internal normally closed

relays interrupt the 24 VAC thermostat control signal to

disable the air conditioner load.

Four LEDs, located on the SACM (B), illuminate when a

load is connected and powered.

Consult Manual. Read and understand manual

completely before using product. Failure to

completely understand manual and product

could result in death or serious injury.
