SECTION 2 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
2--1
Transfer To Emergency
The sequence for load transfer to
emergency source begins automati-
cally when normal source voltage
falls below the preset dropout point
or when Transfer Switch Test button
is pressed. An under voltage condi-
tion on any phase of the normal
source is detected by the sensor.
When the normal
source voltage fails or
the Transfer Switch Test
button is pressed, the
SE relay de-energizes
and relay NR begins its
timing cycle (1 or 3
seconds, momentary
normal source outage
delay
). The NR relay is provided with a time delay on
dropout to override momentary outages and prevent
nuisance starting of the engine-driven generator. If the
normal source voltage returns above the sensor dropout
setting before the time delay expires, the NR relay timing
cycle is reset to zero and relay SE energizes.
If the normal source voltage does not return above the
sensor dropout setting before the time delay expires, the
NR relay de-energizes and signals the engine-driven
generator to start. At the same time, a voltage and
frequency sensor begins monitoring the emergency source.
The sensor will accept the emergency source only when
both voltage and frequency reach preset pickup points.
Usually about ten seconds elapse from dropout of the NR
relay to acceptance by the sensor. This time span occurs
because the engine-driven generator must crank, start, and
run up to nominal pickup points. For this reason, if the
Transfer Switch Test
button is pressed it must be held for 15
seconds. If the emergency source is available immediately,
the sensor may accept it as soon as NR relay drops out.
When the emergency source is accepted by the sensor,
relay ER begins its timing cycle (transfer to emergency
delay
). ER relay is provided with an adjustable (0 to 5
minutes) time delay on pickup to delay transfer of the
load to the emergency source. For immediate transfer
press Bypass Time Delay button.
ER relay energizes, the TS coil is energized, the transfer
switch operates, and all switch contacts (mains, controls,
auxiliaries) reverse position. The transfer switch is now
supplying the load from the emergency source.
The transfer switch will remain in the Emergency
position until the normal source is restored. If the
Transfer Switch Terst
button is used, the transfer switch
will remain on emergency until the retransfer to normal
delay
times out.
Retransfer to Normal
The sequence for load retransfer to the normal source
automatically begins when the voltage sensor detects
restoration of the normal source. The voltage level must
rise above the preset pickup point on all phases before
the sensor will accept the normal source.
When the normal source is accepted by the sensor, relay
SE begins its timing cycle (adjustable 1 sec. to 30 min.,
retransfer to normal delay
). For immediate retransfer
press Bypass Time Delay button. SE relay is provided with
a time delay on pickup to prevent immediate load
retransfer to the normal source. The delay insures that
the normal source has stabilized before reconnection of
vital loads. If the normal source voltage falls below the
present dropout point before the time delay expires, the
timing cycle is reset to zero. If the emergency source fails
for more than 4 seconds during the timing cycle, ER relay
drops out and the load is immediately retransferred to
the normal source, if that source is acceptable.
SE relay energizes and ER relay is dropped out. The TS
coil is energized, the transfer switch operates, and all
switch contacts (mains, controls, auxiliaries) reverse
position. The transfer switch is now supplying the load
from the normal source again.
Upon retransfer to the normal source, NR relay begins its
timing cycle (unloaded running delay [engine cooldown] ).
NR relay is provided with a 5 minute time delay on pickup
to keep the engine running for a cool-down period.
NR relay energizes after the time delay and signals the
engine-driven generator to shut down. All circuits are
reset for any future normal source failure.
Activation of standard control features shown in Section 5
will alter the sequence of operation and introduce
additional time delays during transfer operations.
