1 SECTION PART 1 - GENERAL 1.1 SUMMARY A. This Section includes transfer switches rated 600 V and less, including the following: 1. Automatic transfer switches. 2. Bypass/isolation switches. 3. Remote annunciation. 1.2 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS A. Overcurrent Protective Device Coordination: All overcurrent protective devices proposed for inclusion in the Work shall be selected to be selectively coordinated with the overcurrent protective devices installed on their supply side such that an overcurrent event (overload, shortcircuit, or ground-fault) occurring at the lowest level in the system (branch circuit) cannot cause the feeder protective device supplying the branch circuit panelboard to open. This coordination shall be carried through each level of distribution for all branches of emergency power. Refer to Division 26 Section "Overcurrent Protective Device Coordination Study" for additional requirements. B. Sequence of Operation for Automatic Transfer 1. Loss of Normal Source: a. After an adjustable time delay period of 0-10 seconds (default setting of 1 seconds), the Engine starting contacts shall close to initiate the starting of the standby engine-generator set when any of the following occur: 1) Voltage on any phase of the normal source drops below 80-percent of nominal or increases to 120-percent of nominal. 2) Frequency drops below 90-percent of nominal or increases to 110-percent of nominal. 3) Voltage differential between phases is greater than 20-percent. b. When the emergency source has reached a voltage value of 90-percent of nominal and achieved frequency within 95-percent of the rated value, the load shall be transferred to the emergency source based on the following: 1) Delayed Transition Switches: a) When the emergency source has reached the values listed above, the load shall be transferred to the neutral position for an adjustable time period of 0-10 seconds. Upon completion of this neutral time delay the switch shall be transferred to the emergency source. 2. Restoration of Normal Source: a. Upon restoration of normal power source on all phases to a preset value of 90- percent to 110-percent of rated voltage, 95-percent to 105-percent of rated frequency, and below 20-percent, voltage differential, the switch shall retransfer to the normal source based on the following: 1) Delayed Transition Switches: a) When the normal source has been restored to the values listed above, and the time delay transfer to normal has expired, the load shall be retransferred to the neutral position for an adjustable time period of 0-10 seconds. After which the switch shall be connected to the normal source

2 b. After retransfer to normal, the generator set shall be allowed to operate at no load for an adjustable period of 0-10 minutes (default setting at 5 minutes). The generator shall run unloaded for this time period and then automatically shut down. The generator shall be ready for automatic operation upon the next failure of the normal source. 3. Special Conditions and Failure Modes: a. If the engine generator should fail while carrying the load, retransfer to the normal source shall be made instantaneously upon restoration of proper voltage (90- percent) on the normal source. b. Bypass-isolation Switch: Switch shall be equipped with an independent engine start circuit. Should a utility outage occur while operating the bypass in normal or isolated modes, the engine will automatically start and allow immediate selection to emergency bypass. 1.3 SUBMITTALS A.
