1.4.7 Aut omatic Transfer Switch
Connection
Hazardous voltage.
Backfeed to the utility system can
cause property damage, severe
injury, or death.
If the generator set is used for
standby power, install an automatic
transfer switch to prevent inadvertent
interconnection of standby and
normal sources of supply.
WARNING
A typical standby system has an automatic transfer
switch connected to the generator set output to
automatically transfer the electrical load to the
generator set if the normal source fails. The normal
power source is typically utility power. When normal
power returns, the switch transfers the load back to the
normal power source and then signals the generator set
to stop.
Connect the ATS or remote start/stop switch. Connect
the load leads from the generator set to the Emergency
source lugs on the ATS. Connect the RBUS or engine
start connections as described below. Route
low-voltage communication leads through separate
conduit from the AC power and load leads. All
connections must comply with applicable state and local
codes.
