TESTING POLICY:

Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is

fully checked for performance. The generator is loaded
to its full capacity, and the voltage, current, and frequency
are carefully checked.

Rated output of generators is based on engineering

tests of typical units, and is subject to, and limited by, the
temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified
by the manufacturer of the applicable engines.

INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION

The package standby system includes all items

necessary for a completely automatic standby power
system as standard equipment.

DESCRIPTION

This packaged standby system is designed to auto-

matically provide standby power to unattended loads
during electrical outages. Upon an interruption of normal
electrical service the packaged standby system electrical
control circuits will automatically start the engine. The
generator will produce electrical power and the Automatic
Transfer Switch (A.T.S.) will automatically transfer the
electrical loads to the engine-generator set. Upon
restoration of normal electrical service the emergency
transfer switch will sense return of the normal commer-
cial power. The Automatic Transfer Switch will retransfer
the load back to the normal commercial power source.
The engine control circuits will begin a cool-down cycle,
after which the fuel supply will be shut off and the engine
ignition system disabled.

These packaged standby systems consist of two

major components:

1) AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

A wall mounted Automatic Transfer Switch

(A.T.S.) designed for inside installation. The NON-UL
A.T.S. consists of a line side contactor and a generator
side contactor. The contactors are both electrically and
mechanically interlocked. A seven day electronic exer-
ciser clock is installed in the A.T.S. as standard equip-
ment. The A.T.S. also contains the power failure sensing
circuitry necessary to send a start/stop signal to the
engine generator set.

Both the 100 amps and the 200 amps UL Switches are

available in single and three phase. The UL A.T.S. have
a 14 day electronic exerciser circuit.

Additional optional A.T.S. sizes are available to meet

specific needs. Contact your local WINCO dealer, or the
WINCO Sales Department for a quote.

2) ENGINE/GENERATOR

The engine generator set consists of a Briggs & Strat-

ton, twin cylinder, four cycle air cooled engine. The
engine is factory equipped to run on L.P. or N.G. fuel.
The engine operates at 3600 rpm and frequency regula-
tion is maintained by the engine governor within 4 cycles
variation (62.5 Hz - 58.5 Hz) from no load to rated load.
The generator is a brushless, single bearing, direct drive,
rotating field design. Voltage regulation is provided by an
external voltage regulator mount on the generator,
variation is +/- .5% steady state.. The generator is
connected to the engine’s tapered (quill) crankshaft
extension. The engine generator is mounted in a NEMA
3R enclosure for outside installation. Connection boxes
are provided for all customer connections (both AC output
and DC control). A customer supplied 500 CCA (BCI
group 26) battery is required to complete the installation.
Engine operation is controlled by an Electronic Engine
Control Module (E.C.M.) mounted in the engine generator
enclosure. The E.C.M. is equipped standard with a 10
second start delay, 90 second cool down delay and cycle
cranking.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

Extreme cold weather operation requires special

considerations. Higher CCA batteries are required for
cold weather starting, 650 CCA or larger are recom-
mended. In addition you should consider installing an
oil heater kit and a battery warmer for reliable starting
during cold weather.

** NOTICE **

This unit will automatically transfer if a power outage
occurs while running in an exercise mode.
