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.
Engine Start
Control Connections
Engine-start control wires connect to control terminals
beside the MX250. 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 control
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.
