SECTION 2 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
2---1
Transfer To Emergency
The sequence for load transfer to
emergency source begins automatical-
ly when normal source voltage falls
below the preset dropout point or
when Transfer Test button is pressed.
An under voltage condition on any
phase of the normal source is de-
tected by the sensor.
When the normal
source voltage fails or
the Transfer 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 gen-
erator to start. At the same time, a voltage and frequen-
cy sensor begins monitoring the emergency source. The
sensor will accept the emergency source only when both
voltage and frequency reach preset pickup points. Usual-
ly about ten seconds elapse from dropout of the NR relay
to acceptance by the sensor. This time span occurs be-
cause the engine-driven generator must crank, start, and
run up to nominal pickup points. For this reason, if the
Transfer Test
button is pressed it must be held for 15 sec-
onds. 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 Test
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 min. 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.
