    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH 2.4. SYSTEM PHASING-HIGH LEG DELTA SYSTEMS For systems using high leg delta 240V 3 phase 4 wire systems, connection of supply conductors must have the correct phasing as shown below. WARNING! Failure to match correct system phasing will result in serious damage to the controller.
  • Page 9: Remote Start Contact Field Wiring

    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH Where transfer switches are supplied without power isolation transformers (PT1 & PT2) for ATS control logic it is essential that the orientation of phase conductors of the supply source be arranged such that the phase of highest potential with respect to ground is not connected to the power supply inputs to the controller (The A Phase for both supplies).

    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION 4.1. STANDARD AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH 4.1.1. NORMAL OPERATION When utility supply voltage drops below a preset nominal value (adjustable from 70% to 100% of nominal) on any phase, an engine start delay circuit will be initiated and the transfer to utility supply signal will be removed (i.e.

    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH 4.1.2. OVER CURRENT TRIP (TSC 80e/TSC 800 CONTROLLERS) Should the utility power switching device trip open due to an over current condition, TSC 80e or TSC 800 transfer controller will initiate an engine start signal and will permit transfer of the load to the generator supply.
  • Page 14: Over Current Protection

    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH OVER CURRENT PROTECTION Thomson Power Systems TS 830 series of Automatic Transfer Switches are supplied standard with integral over current protection. The type of over current protection utilized is dependent upon ATS amperage size and optional features specified.

    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH  All limit switches linkages are correctly adjusted to provide full travel of the power switching device toggles without exerting unnecessary forces associated with excessive travel. Ensure that power switching device travel far enough to reset any internal trip unit (it is more important for the toggle to go fully in the "off"...
  • Page 16: Manual Operation

    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH The transfer switch mechanism has three possible positions: Utility power switching device closed and generator power switching device open; Generator power switching device closed and utility power switching device open; Both utility and generator power switching devices open, but NEVER both utility and generator power switching devices closed at the same time.

    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH TRANSFER SWITCH MECHANISM – 1000A- 1600 Amp (T Style) The transfer mechanism consists primarily of the transfer motor, a hub assembly, two operating rods and two power switching device operating yokes. The reversible transfer motor drives the hub assembly, which in turn moves the operating rods that are connected to the power switching device operating yokes.

    TS 830 TRANSFER SWITCH RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE CAUTION! (See on Page #2) 10.1. DO NOT perform dielectric tests on the equipment with the control components in the circuit. 10.2. Check if control components are tight in sockets. 10.3. Periodically inspect all terminals (load, line and control) for tightness. Re-torque all bolts, nuts and other hardware.
