Power Connections

GE Zenith transfer switches are supplied with UL listed
solderless screw type terminals as standard for the
Source 1, Source 2 and Load power connections.
Table 1 lists the number and sizes of cable lugs supplied
as standard for each switch amp rating.

Connect the Source 1, Source 2, and Load conductors
to the clearly marked terminals on the transfer switch.
Remove surface oxides from cables by cleaning with a
wire brush. Verify that all connections are correct before
tightening the lugs. All cable lug connections must be
tightened to the proper torque values as shown in
Table 2.

NOTE

:

Do not run cables or wiring behind
front-connected transfer switches.

DANGER

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE

(Can Cause Severe Injury or Death)

Turn OFF all power before installation, adjustment, or removal of transfer switch or any of its components.

Engine Start
Control Connections

Engine-start control wires connect to control terminals
beside the MX150. Engine start terminals are indicated by
a schematic symbol (the symbol indicates the contact
state for a de-energized normal source). Figure 3 shows
the engine-start contacts.

Make all other necessary control connections to the con-
trol panel terminal blocks per the schematics supplied
with the ATS.

NOTE

:

All control wires (18-12 AWG) must be
torqued to 19 in/lbs.

NOTE

:

When lifting the switch using a spreader bar,
height H must be equal to half of distance D.
