WARNING  
1.1 Preliminary Comments and Safety Precautions  
THE CLOSED TRANSITION PRODUCT CONTAINS A SPECIAL CON-  
TACT ARRANGEMENT (OVERLAPPING CONTACTS). MISUSE CAN  
RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJ URY, AND/OR PROPERTY  
DAMAGE.  
This technical document is intended to cover most aspects associ-  
ated with the installation, application, operation, and maintenance  
of transfer switch equipment with ratings from 800 through  
3200 amperes (A), except for the specific logic used to control  
the equipment. It is provided as a guide for authorized and quali-  
fied personnel only. Please refer to the specific WARNING and  
CAUTION in Section 1.1.2 before proceeding. If further informa-  
tion is required by the purchaser regarding a particular installation,  
application, or maintenance activity, contact an Eaton representa-  
tive. For information associated with the control, refer to the sep-  
arate instruction book pertaining to the logic package installed in  
the switch.  
1.2 General Information  
Transfer sw itches are used to protect critical electrical loads  
against loss of power. The Source 1 power source of the load is  
backed-up by a Source 2 power source. A transfer switch is con-  
nected to both the Source 1 and Source 2 power sources and sup-  
plies the load with power from one of these two sources. In the  
event that power is lost from the Source 1 power source, the  
transfer switch transfers the load to the Source 2 power source.  
This transfer can be automatic or manual, depending upon the  
type of transfer switch equipment being used. Once Source 1  
power is restored, the load is automatically or manually trans-  
ferred back to the Source 1 power source, again depending upon  
the type of transfer equipment being used (Figure 2).  
1.1.1 Warranty and Liability Information  
No warranties, expressed or implied, including warranties of fit-  
ness for a particular purpose of merchant-ability, or warranties  
arising from course of dealing or usage of trade, are made regard-  
ing the information, recommendations and descriptions contained  
herein. In no event will Eaton be responsible to the purchaser or  
user in contract, in tort (including negligence), strict liability or  
otherwise for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential  
damage or loss whatsoever, including but not limited to damage or  
loss of use of equipment, plant or power system, cost of capital,  
loss of power, additional expenses in the use of existing power  
facilities, or claims against the purchaser or user by its customers  
resulting from the use of the information and descriptions con-  
tained herein.  
In addition, the Eaton closed transition transfer switch may be  
applied where it is desirable to avoid any momentary power inter-  
ruptions. Although the closed transition switch is not a substitute  
for an uninteruptable power source (UPS), it does eliminate power  
interruptions to loads except to those caused by power sources or  
equipment external to the transfer switch. If both sources are  
acceptable as determined by the IQ Transfer logic, a make-before-  
break transfer is performed during a transfer test or retransfer  
operation.  
1.1.2 Safety Precautions  
1.2.1 Transfer Switch Types  
All safety codes, safety standards, and/or regulations must be  
strictly observed in the installation, operation, and maintenance of  
this device.  
There are four types of transfer switch equipment.  
Automatic Transfer Switch  
Automatic transfer switches (ATSs) automatically perform the  
transfer function. They consist of three basic elements:  
WARNING  
1. Main contacts to connect and disconnect the load to and from  
the source of power.

Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches  
Basic Transfer Switch (Power Panel)  
The switching devices are in a compact vertical arrangement. The  
logic can be easily disconnected from the switching device with-  
out disturbing critical connections. The enclosure is free standing,  
and, by using the specially supplied cleats, the switch is seismic  
approved (Option 42). The terminals are mounted in the rear of  
the switch, permitting rear, top, bottom, or side cable or bus bar  
entrance.  
The basic transfer switch is designed for use with customer fur-  
nished logic. It is similar in design to the automatic version,  
except the intelligence circuit (logic panel) and voltage selection  
panel are omitted. All control devices are the customer’s  
responsibility.  
The switching devices have a high withstand rating (Table 1). The  
high-speed, stored-energy switching mechanism guarantees a  
transfer time of less than 5 cycles.

Figure 2. Typical Load Transfer Switch (Switching Device Type)  
Schematic.  
Non-Automatic Transfer Switch (Electrically Operated)  
Non-automatic transfer switches are manually initiated, electrically  
operated devices for applications where automatic load transfer is  
not required.  
Bypass Isolation Transfer Switch  
The bypass isolation switch is designed for applications where  
maintenance, inspection, and testing must be performed while  
maintaining continuous power to the load (Figures 3 and 4). This  
is typically required in critical life support systems and standby  
power situations calling for safe system maintenance with no  
power disruptions. Such a design allows for the quick removal of  
the different switching devices for inspection, maintenance, or  
replacement.  
Figure 3.Typical Bypass Isolation Switch.  
The ATS, non-automatic transfer switch (electrically operated),  
and bypass isolation transfer switch are the available types for the  
configuration described in this manual.  
Operation of the ATS and the bypass isolation switch only are dis-  
cussed in this manual (Sections 5 and 7 respectively).  
1.2.2 Design Configuration  
The Eaton transfer switch is a rugged, compact design utilizing  
insulated case switches or insulated case circuit breakers to trans-  
fer essential loads from one power source to another. Open tran-  
sition switching devices are interlocked to prevent both switching  
devices from being closed at the same time. The versatile design,  
in addition to standard transfer functions, offers an optional inte-  
gral thermal and short circuit protection in either or both switching  
devices.

1.3 Magnum Fixed and Drawout Sw itching Devices  
1.3.1 General Magnum Switching Device  
The Magnum switching devices used in the Magnum transfer  
switches are air switching devices utilizing an electronic tripping  
system. They are available in both fixed and draw out versions,  
both of which are used in the Magnum transfer switch depending  
on the specific transfer switch ordered.

All Magnum switching devices are 100% rated, Underwriters Lab-  
oratories (UL) listed, and are built and tested in an ISO 9002 certi-  
fied facility to applicable NEMA, ANSI, IEEE, and UL standards.  
For more information on Magnum switching devices, consult the  
Magnum switching device manual supplied with the transfer  
switch.  
The main difference between the fixed and drawout versions of  
the Magnum switching devices used in the Magnum transfer  
switch is the mounting method. Fixed switching devices are  
bolted directly into the transfer switch frame while drawout  
switching devices are mounted in an extendable carriage within  
the transfer switch, allowing the switching device to be “drawn  
out” for service, maintenance, and/or replacement.

1.3.2 Magnum Drawout Switching Devices  
The Magnum drawout switching device is a design having three  
positions with the compartment door closed (CONNECT, TEST,  
DISCONNECT) and one position out of its compartment on the  
extendable carriage rails (REMOVE). The Magnum drawout  
switching device is equipped with both primary and secondary dis-  
connects to provide for the drawout functioning. The operating  
mechanism is a two-step, stored energy mechanism, either manu-  
ally or electrically operated. When withdrawn on the extendable  
carriage rails, Magnum switching devices can be inspected, acces-  
sory items added, and minor maintenance performed. The inside  
of the compartment can also be inspected with the switching  
device withdrawn on the extendable carriage rails.

In addition, a fixed switching device does not have a standard fea-  
ture to hold the switching device in a trip-free” position.  
Magnum fixed switching device terminals have holes for making  
bolted horizontal primary bus connections. Adapters are available  
for making vertical primary bus connections. Secondary connec-  
tions can be made through standard terminal blocks or a special  
connector compatible with the drawout switching devices type  
secondary connector. Both secondary connection devices are  
mounted at the top front of the switching device.  
The Magnum fixed switching devices have two mounting feet,  
one on each side, to permit the switching device to be securely  
mounted to the transfer switch frame. Each mounting foot has  
two slotted mounting holes to facilitate mounting.  
1.4 Transfer Switch Catalog Number Identification  
Transfer switch equipment catalog numbers provide a significant  
amount of relevant information that pertains to a particular piece  
of equipment. The catalog number identification table (Table 3)  
provides the required interpretation information. An example for  
an open transition switch is offered to initially simplify the pro-  
cess.  
Example: Catalog Number (circled numbers correspond to position  
headings in Table 3).  
The catalog number ATVIMGB33200XRU describes an ATS with  
the switching devices mounted vertically in the enclosure. The  
intelligence, represented by the ATC-400/ATC-600/ATC-800, is a  
microprocessor-based logic package. The Magnum Breaker is used  
as the switching device and is a 3-pole molded case breaker for  
each source. The continuous current rating of this equipment is  
3200 A and is applicable at 480/277 Vac, 60 Hz. The transfer  
switch equipment is enclosed in a NEMA 3R enclosure and is  
listed for Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards  
Association (CSA) applications.

Section 2: Receiving, Handling, and Storage  
Section 3: Equipment Description  
2.1 Receiving  
3.1 General  
Every effort is made to ensure that the transfer switch equipment  
arrives at its destination undamaged and ready for installation.  
Crating and packing is designed to protect internal components as  
well as the enclosure. Transfer switch enclosures are skid  
mounted and suited for fork lift movement. Care should be exer-  
cised, however, to protect the equipment from impact at all times.  
Do not remove the protective packaging until the equipment is at  
the installation location and ready for installation.  
This Eaton transfer switch equipment is available in four different  
configurations:  
ATS (Closed and Open transition);  
Non-Automatic (Electrically Operated) (Open Transition Only);  
Bypass Isolation Transfer Switch (Open and Closed Transition);  
and  
Power Panel.  
Refer to Section 1 for a discussion of all four types. Each transfer  
switch is usually supplied in an enclosure, although unmounted  
sub-assemblies can be supplied for mounting by the customer.  
The enclosed ATS is the only specific type that will be discussed  
in this section.  
When the transfer switch equipment reaches its destination, the  
customer should inspect the shipping container for any obvious  
signs of rough handling and/or external damage incurred during  
transportation. Record any external and internal damage observed  
for reporting to the transportation carrier and Eaton, once a thor-  
ough inspection is completed. All claims should be as specific as  
possible and include the Shop Order and General Order numbers.  
A shipping label is affixed to the top of the shipping container  
which includes a variety of equipment and customer information,  
such as General Order Number (GO #) and Catalog Number  
(Cat #). Make certain that this information matches other ship-  
ping paper information.  
Each transfer switch enclosure is bolted to a rigid wooden pallet.  
The pallet is open at two ends for movement by a fork lift. The  
shipment is secured and further protected with shrink wrap. Do  
not discard the packing material until the equipment is ready for  
installation.  
A plastic bag of documents will be found within the enclosure,  
usually attached to the inside of the door. Important documents,  
such as test reports, wiring diagrams, and appropriate instruction  
leaflets, are enclosed within the bag and should be filed in a safe  
place.  
2.2 Handling  
As previously mentioned, the transfer switch equipment is pack-  
aged for fork lift movement. Protect the equipment from impact  
at all times and DO NOT double stack. Once the equipment is at  
the installation location and ready for installation, the packaging  
material can be removed. Once the enclosure is unbolted from the  
wooden pallet, it can be installed using the lifting provision located  
on the top of the structure. Be careful not to damage the top or  
bottom enclosure mounting flanges. Refer to Section 4 of this  
manual for specific installation instructions.  
2.3 Storage  
Although well packaged, this equipment is not suitable for storage  
outdoors. The equipment warranty will not be applicable if there  
is evidence of outdoor storage. If the equipment is to be stored  
indoors for any period of time, it should be stored with its protec-  
tive packaging material in place. Protect the equipment at all  
times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive condi-  
tions, and other contaminants.  
Figure 11. Typical Power Panel (Open Transition Shown).  
It is strongly suggested that the package-protected equipment be  
stored in a climate controlled environment of -20° to 85° C  
(-4° to 185° F) with a relative humidity of 80% or less. DO NOT,  
under any circumstances, stack other equipment on top of a trans-  
fer switch equipment enclosure, whether packaged or not.  
The enclosed ATS consists of three basic panels interconnected  
through connector plugs and mounted in an enclosure:  
Power Panel;  
Voltage Selection Panel; and  
Logic Panel  
ATC-600 (open transition only)  
ATC-800 (closed transition only).

Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches  
The components comprising the three panels are installed in accor-  
dance with the specific requirements of the circuit being controlled.  
Each transfer switch is, therefore, tailor-made to a specific applica-  
tion.  
3.2.3 Drawout Interlocks  
The standard closed transition ATS is not provided with a  
mechanical interlock. All bypass switching devices are mechani-  
cally interlocked to the drawout mechanism to ensure that the  
switching device is always open when connecting or disconnect-  
ing it from the line and load stabs when in the bypass mode.  
3.2 Pow er Panel  
The power panel consists of a means for making load, power, and  
neutral connections. The main contacts and the transfer mecha-  
nism are all on one steel frame (Figure 12). The actual power con-  
nections are shown in Figure 13.  
All open transition switching devices are mechanically interlocked  
to the drawout mechanism to ensure that the switching device is  
always open when connecting or disconnecting it from the line  
and load stabs.  
The switching device will close only in the DISCONNECT, TEST,  
and CONNECT positions.  
Figure 12. Insulated Case Switching Device.  
3.2.1 Main Contacts  
The main contacts connect and disconnect the load to and from  
the different power sources. High withstand insulated case  
sw itches are the main contacts for the Source 1 and Source 2  
power sources in standard, unmodified ATSs. Optional integral  
thermal and short circuit protection in either or both switching  
devices is available (Section 3.6). These continuous duty devices  
are rated for all classes of loads. In addition, they have high  
dielectric strength, heavy-duty switching and withstand capabili-  
ties, and high interrupting capacity.  
3.2.2 Switch Interlocks (Open Transition Only)  
Eaton transfer switches are mechanically and electrically inter-  
locked to prevent the two sets of main contacts from being closed  
simultaneously.

3.2.4 TRANSFER MECHANISM  
The switching device is closed by energizing a solenoid that  
releases the spring mechanism. A shunt trip will open the switch-  
ing device if energized.  
The transfer switch uses Eaton Magnum insulated case switching  
devices and insulated case switches with a stored-energy mecha-  
nism. An electrical operator automatically recharges the mecha-  
nism after the switching device has been closed, and an indicator  
on the switch shows whether it is in the OPEN or CLOSED posi-  
tion and the status of the stored energy mechanism.

3.3.1 North American Voltage Selection (120, 208, 240, 480,  
and 600 V, 60 Hz)  
The international market voltage selection panel is a multi-tap,  
enclosed transformer mounted in the transfer switch enclosure.  
Seven front accessible voltage taps from 208 to 600 Vac satisfy  
any required international market application voltage. A quick-  
change capability from one voltage to another is provided by a  
small disconnect plug. The factory default position is 600 VAC.  
The North American market voltage selection panel consists of  
multi-tap transformers, contained in a steel case mounted in the  
transfer sw itch enclosure (Figure 15). The cover has “teardrop”  
holes for the screws to allow easy access to the transformers.  
The voltage is selected by simply removing the wires from the  
default primary taps of both transformers and installing them on  
the primary taps for the desired voltage. Taps are provided for  
120 to 600 Vac to satisfy any required North American market  
application voltage. The factory default position is 600 Vac.  
3.4 Logic Panel  
The logic panel provides the intelligence and supervisory circuits  
which constantly monitor the condition of both the Source 1 and  
Source 2 power sources, thus providing the required intelligence  
for transfer operations (Figure 17). Detailed information is pre-  
sented in a separate document:

3.8 Standards  
Section 4: Installation and Wiring  
Eaton transfer switch equipment is listed for application by UL and  
CSA. In addition, Eaton ATSs are listed in File E38116 by  
UL, Inc., under Standard UL 1008. This standard covers require-  
ments for ATSs intended for use in ordinary locations to provide  
for lighting and power as follows:  
4.1 General  
Eaton transfer sw itches are factory wired and tested. Installation  
requires solidly mounting the enclosed unit and connecting the  
power cables and auxiliary pilot circuits. Physical mounting proce-  
dures and power cable connections are covered in this section.  
All other required wiring or electrical connection references are  
covered in a separate Customer Wiring Diagram packaged with  
the transfer switch.  
a. In emergency systems, in accordance with articles 517 and  
700 in the National Electrical Code (NEC), American National  
Standards Institute/National Fire Protection Association  
(ANSI/NFPA) 70 and the NFPA No. 76A and/or  
Locate the wiring booklet, review it, and keep it readily available  
for reference purposes during installation and testing. Once a  
transfer switch is properly installed and wired, it should be  
mechanically and electrically checked for proper installation and  
operation. The procedures for these initial mechanical and electri-  
cal checks are outlined in Section 8.1 of this instruction manual.  
b. In stand-by systems, in accordance with article 702 of the  
NEC and/or  
c. In legally required stand-by systems in accordance with article  
701 of the NEC.  
Eaton ATSs are available to meet NFPA 110 for emergency and  
stand-by power systems, and NFPA 99 for health care facilities  
when ordered with the appropriate options.  
WARNING  
Since Eaton ATSs utilize specially designed switches and/or  
switching devices as the main power switching contacts, these  
devices must also be listed under the additional UL Standard  
1066. UL utilizes two basic types of listing programs: a) Label  
Service and b) Re-examination. UL1066 employs a label service  
listing program which requires an extensive follow-up testing pro-  
gram for listed devices. Standard UL1008 for ATSs lists devices  
under the re-examination program which only requires a continual  
physical re-examination of the components used in the product to  
insure consistency with the originally submitted device. Follow-up  
testing IS NOT required by UL1008.  
Representative production samples of switches and switching  
devices used in Eaton ATSs are subjected to a complete test pro-  
gram identical to the originally submitted devices on an ongoing  
periodic basis per UL1066. The frequency of such a re-submittal  
can be as often as every quarter for a low ampere device.  
BE CERTAIN THAT THE SOLID STEEL POWER PANEL SHIELDS ARE  
PROPERLY INSTALLED BEFORE THE TRANSFER SWITCH EQUIP-  
MENT IS PUT INTO SERVICE. THE SHIELD PROVIDES PROTECTION  
FROM DANGEROUS VOLTAGES AT THE LINE AND LOAD TERMI-  
NALS WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS IN OPERATION. FAILURE TO DO  
SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJ URY OR DEATH.  
4.2 Mounting Location  
Choose a location that offers a flat, rigid mounting surface capa-  
ble of supporting the weight of the enclosed transfer switch  
equipment. Avoid locations that are moist, hot, or dusty. How-  
ever, Eaton offers enclosure designs that can be used in special  
environments. If there are any doubts as to the suitability of the  
location, discuss it with your Eaton representative.  
Check to make certain that there are no pipes, wires, or other haz-  
ards in the immediate area that could create a problem. The pan-  
els provide ample room for rear cable entry from top, bottom, and  
sides. At no time should cable be routed to retard the action of  
relays or cover the logic in a way that restricts adjustments.  
Maintain proper electrical clearances between live metal parts and  
grounded metal.  
For installation and maintenance purposes, the Source 1 and  
Source 2 power sources must have an overcurrent protective  
device upstream of the transfer switch, unless overcurrent protec-  
tion is integral to the switch.  
The dimensions of the transfer switch are an important consider-  
ation in determining proper location selection.

ble electrical codes.  
Step 2: Verify that the transfer switch rated current and voltage  
(see identification plate on the door of the transfer  
switch) agree with system current and voltage.  
Step 3: After the transfer switch is mounted, provide the conduit  
or cable openings as required. Ensure that no metal filings  
contaminate the transfer switch components.  
Step 4: Test all power cables before connecting them to the unit  
to insure that the conductors or the cable insulation have  
not been damaged while being pulled into position.  
Step 5: Carefully strip the insulation from the power cables.  
Avoid nicking or ringing of the conductor strands. Pre-  
pare the stripped conductor termination end by cleaning  
it with a wire brush. If aluminum conductors are used,  
apply an appropriate joint compound to the clean conduc-  
tor surface area. Refer to Figure 13 for the approximate  
locations of the power connections.  
Power cables are to be connected to solderless screw type lugs  
located on the transfer switch switching devices. Refer to the  
separate Customer Wiring Diagrams supplied with the transfer  
switch equipment for power termination. Verify that the lugs sup-  
plied will accommodate the power cables being used. Also verify

5.1 General  
IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN PLACING A DRA-  
WOUT CIRCUIT BREAKER ON ITS EXTENSION RAILS. IF THE CIR-  
CUIT BREAKER IS NOT PROPERLY SEATED ON THE EXTENSION  
RAILS, IT COULD FALL FROM THE RAILS CAUSING EQUIPMENT  
DAMAGE AND/OR BODILY INJ URY.  
WARNING  
THE CLOSED TRANSITION PRODUCT CONTAINS A SPECIAL CON-  
TACT ARRANGEMENT (OVERLAPPING CONTACTS). MISUSE CAN  
RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJ URY, AND/OR PROPERTY  
DAMAGE.  
Carefully lower the circuit breaker down onto the extension rails.  
Be certain that the circuit breaker’s four molded drawout rail sup-  
ports are fully seated in the extension rail cutouts on both sides  
(Figure 22). Do not remove the lifting yoke from the circuit  
breaker until it is properly seated on the rails.  
A transfer switch provides main contacts to connect and discon-  
nect the load to and from the Source 1 and Source 2 power  
sources. A stored-energy type transfer mechanism provides the  
mechanical motion required to open and close the main contacts  
(Paragraph 3.2.1).  
Once the circuit breaker is on the extension rails and the lifting  
yoke is removed, proceed with the rest of the circuit breaker  
installation.  
Each switch can be manually operated. Before a switching device  
can be closed, the stored energy mechanism must be charged by  
pumping the handle (Figure 23).  
4.8 Wiring  
CAUTION  
POWER CONDUCTORS AND CONTROL WIRING MAY HAVE VOLT-  
AGE PRESENT THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJ URY OR  
DEATH. DE-ENERGIZE ALL POWER OR CONTROL CIRCUIT CONDUC-  
TORS BEFORE BEGINNING TO PERFORM ANY WIRING ACTIVITY TO  
OR WITHIN THE TRANSFER SWITCH EQUIPMENT.  
Power sources, load conductors, and control wiring should be  
connected to locations as indicated in the Customer Wiring Dia-  
grams supplied with the transfer switch equipment.  
4.8.1 Engine Start Connection  
The engine control contact connections are located on the  
ATC-600/ATC 800 Controller. The engine control contact con-  
nections of bypass isolation units are located in the door of the  
enclosure  
Note: Prior to making the engine start connection to the switch on bypass  
isolation units, set the engine generator controls selector switch in the OFF  
position to prevent an unwanted engine start. A contact closes between  
these terminal blocks when an engine start signal is provided by the ATS  
logic.

SWITCHING DEVICE IS NOT PROPERLY SEATED ON THE EXTEND-  
ABLE RAILS, IT COULD FALL FROM THE RAILS CAUSING EQUIP-  
MENT DAMAGE AND/OR BODILY INJ URY.  
The REMOVE position is a position outside the compartment on  
the carriages drawout rails where the switching device is not  
engaged with the levering mechanism. The DISCONNECT, TEST,  
and CONNECT, positions are reached by means of the levering  
mechanism.  
With the switching device solidly positioned on the carriage’s  
extendable rails and the levering-in mechanism in the  
DISCONNECT position, carefully and firmly push the switching  
device into the compartment as far as it will go. The outer  
(recessed) portion of the switching device face plate should align  
with the GREEN target line (labeled DISC) on the inside top left  
wall of the carriage (Figure 32).  
CAUTION  
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE SWITCHING DEVICE IS FULLY INSERTED  
INTO ITS COMPARTMENT BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO  
LEVER THE SWITCHING DEVICE. ATTEMPTING TO LEVER THE  
SWITCHING DEVICE IN BEFORE IT IS FULLY POSITIONED INSIDE ITS  
COMPARTMENT CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO BOTH THE SWITCH-  
ING DEVICE AND THE COMPARTMENT.

THE SWITCHING DEVICE MECHANISM IS INTERLOCKED SUCH  
THAT CHARGED CLOSING SPRINGS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DIS-  
CHARGED IF THE SWITCHING DEVICE IS LEVERED INTO OR OUT OF  
THE CELL. DISCHARGE TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE DISCONNECT  
AND TEST POSITION.  
6.1.2 Levering the Switching Device  
The switching device is now ready to be levered. With the  
switching device OPEN, the levering device access door can be  
raised. The levering device is hand operated using a standard  
3/8” square drive and ratchet, which is not provided (Figure 33).  
As long as the access door is raised, the switching device is held  
in the “trip free” condition. Begin by rotating the levering-in screw  
to the full counter clockwise (DISCONNECT) position.  
6.2. Fixed Switching Device  
The Magnum fixed type switching device differs from the drawout  
version in that it has no levering device, primary disconnects, and  
secondary disconnects (Figure 34). In addition, a fixed switching  
device does not have a standard feature to hold the switching  
device in a “trip free” position  
Figure 33.Levering and Position Indication.  
Close the compartment door and begin levering the switching  
device into its different positions using a clockwise ratcheting  
motion. When the switching device is levered fully to the  
DISCONNECT or CONNECT position, the levering shaft hits a hard  
stop. Do NOT exceed 25 ft lb (33.9 Nm) of torque or the levering  
mechanism may be damaged.  
Figure 34. Typical Magnum Fixed Switching Device.  
Fixed switching device terminals have holes for making bolted hor-  
izontal primary bus connections. Adapters are available for mak-  
ing vertical primary bus connections. Secondary connections can  
be made through standard terminal blocks or a special connector  
compatible with the drawout switching devices type secondary  
connector. Both secondary connection devices are mounted at  
the top front of the switching device.

sional drawings supplied with the transfer switch for switching  
device and bus stab dimensions.  
Section 7: Operation of the Bypass Isolation  
Transfer Switch  
7.1 Operator Panel  
The design of this transfer switch allows quick removal of the dif-  
ferent switching devices for inspection or maintenance or, if  
required, quick replacement.  
6.3 Sw itching Device Operation  
The bypass isolation switch has two operator panels with  
switches and lights (Figure 35). The following descriptions are for  
those features that are standard with the bypass isolation switch.  
Additional features are described in the options section.  
Switching devices should be operated manually and/or electrically  
before they are put into service. This can be done during the  
installation process or some later date prior to start-up. To check  
the switching device operation, follow the operational procedures  
outlined in switching device manual supplied with the transfer  
switch for both manually operated and electrically operated  
switching devices.  
Figure 35.Bypass Isolation Switch.  
The left door control panel has the following standard features:  
1. Light to indicate if the Source 1 power source is available.  
2. Light to indicate if the Source 2 power source is available.

the Source 1 switching device in the automatic transfer  
switch is closed.  
4. Light to indicate if the Source 2 position is energized, that is,  
the Source 2 switching device in the automatic transfer  
switch is closed.  
5. The Push-To-Test button allows testing of the transfer  
switch. Pushing the button two times will simulate a power  
failure, causing the transfer switch to start the transfer  
sequence. Pressing the button again will restore regular  
power.  
Three-position selector switch to control the generator:  
AUTO - The intelligence circuit of the transfer switch will start  
the generator if the Source 1 power source is not available.

7.2 Automatic Operation  
The intelligence/supervisory circuits on Eaton transfer switches  
constantly monitor the condition of both the Source 1 and Source  
2 power sources. These circuits automatically initiate an immedi-  
ate transfer of power from the Source 1 to the Source 2 power  
source when the power source fails or the voltage level drops  
below a preset value. Transfer back to the Source 1 power  
source is automatic upon return of the Source 1 power source.  
Monitoring the power source is always performed on the line side  
of the power source to which the switch is connected. The  
Source 1 power source is the preferred source and the transfer  
switch will always seek this source when it is available.  
6. Open the Source 2 Bypass switch. The source 2 Bypass light  
will no longer be illuminated.  
7. The Source 2 Switch is now back in automatic operation.

Fixed and Drawout Magnum Transfer Switches  
In general, transfer switch equipment is designed to be relatively  
maintenance free under normal usage. How-ever, because of the  
variability of application conditions and the importance placed on  
dependable operation by this type of equipment, inspection and  
maintenance checks should be made on a regularly scheduled  
basis. Since equipment maintenance will consist mainly of keep-  
ing the equipment clean, the frequency of maintenance will  
depend, to a large extent, on the cleanliness of the surroundings.  
If a significant amount of dust or foreign matter is present, a more  
frequent maintenance schedule should be followed.
