Transfer switch mechanism
• Manual bypass switch mechanism allows the operator to select either the
normal or emergency source by closing the bypass contacts. Visual
indicators show bypass source selected, bypass "closed" or "open" to
either source, and automatic transfer switch isolation or "disable."
• Isolation contacts allow the automatic transfer switch and the bypass
switch to be separated electrically and mechanically. The automatic
transfer switch is isolated by a drawout mechanism similar to that used
on power circuit breakers.
• The drawout mechanism can be latched in one of three positions:
connected, test, and isolated. In the connected position the mechanism
is locked. In the test position, the transfer switch is isolated but the
controls receive power. In the isolated position, the switch is completely
isolated.
• The automatic transfer switch can be rolled out on extension rails and
can be removed with overhead lifting equipment. Wheel-mounted
carriages are standard on 1600 A to 4000 A models.
• Protective safety shutters,provided on switches up to and including 1200
amps, cover the stationary power terminals on the bypass switch when
the automatic transfer switch is isolated and removed.

Specifications

Arc interruption Leaf arc chutes cool and quench the arcs. See-through arc chute covers prevent interphase
flashover and allow visual inspection.
Neutral bar A full current-rated neutral bar with lugs is standard on enclosed 3-pole transfer switches.
Auxiliary contacts Easily accessible auxiliary contacts are rated at 10 A continuous and 250 VAC maximum.
UL recognized, and CSA-certified.
Operating temperature -40 °F (-40 °C) to 140 °F (60 °C)
Storage temperature -40 °F (-40 °C) to 140 °F (60 °C)
Humidity Up to 95% relative, non-condensing
Altitude Up to 10,000 ft (3,000 m)
Surge withstand ratings Voltage surge performance and testing in compliance with the requirements of IEEE C62.41
(Category B3) and IEEE C62.45.

Open transition - BTPC transfer switches are available with programmed transition and in-phase monitor operation.
The switch contacts operate in a break-before-make sequence.
Programmed transition - Open transition timing can be adjusted to completely disconnect the load from both sources
for a programmed time period, as recommended by NEMA MG-1. Programmed transition allows regenerative voltage to
decay to a safe level before the new source is connected. This pause prevents nuisance-tripping breakers and load
damage.
Closed transition - Closed transition transfer is required in applications with loads sensitive to momentary power
interruptions. The switch contacts operate in a make-before-break sequence. This allows the seamless transfer of
critical loads from one source to another by paralleling the two sources momentarily (for less than 100 msec).

PowerCommand microprocessor control
PowerCommand controls are microprocessor based and developed specifically for automatic transfer switch operation.
The control provides features and options useful for most applications. Flash memory is used to store control settings.
The contents of the memory are not lost even if power to the controller is lost. There is also an on-board battery to
maintain the real-time clock setting and the engine start time delay. Control features include:

Level 2 control
Open transition (in-phase transition)
Programmed transition (timed)
Closed transition - (momentary overlap) - Includes fail-to-
disconnect timer to prevent extended paralleling with the
utility during closed transition transfer.

Time-delay functions
Engine start: Prevents nuisance genset starts in the event of momentary power system variation or loss. Not included
in utility-to-utility systems.
Transfer normal to emergency: Allows genset to stabilize before application of load. Prevents power interruption if
normal source variation or loss is momentary. Allows staggered transfer of loads in multiple transfer switch systems.
Retransfer emergency to normal: Allows the utility to stabilize before retransfer of load. Prevents needless power
interruption if return of normal source is momentary. Allows staggered transfer of loads in multiple transfer switch systems.
Engine stop: Maintains availability of the genset for immediate reconnection in the event that the normal source fails
shortly after retransfer. Allows gradual genset cool down by running unloaded. Not included in utility-to-utility systems.
Programmed transition: Controls the speed of operation of the transfer switch to allow load-generated voltages to
decay before connecting to an oncoming source.
