SAMPLE PART NUMBER This chart explains the Kohlerr transfer switch model number code. The sample model number shown is for a Model G220 automatic transfer switch that uses a 250-volt maximum contactor G220-164233-0100 power switching device with solid-state electrical controls rated at 240 volts, 60 hertz, 1 phase, 2 pole, and 3 wires in a NEMA Type 3R enclosure with a current rating of 100 amperes.
Section 2 Operation 2. Disconnect both the normal and emergency power DANGER sources by opening circuit breakers or switches leading to the transfer switch. 3. Open the enclosure and check that the contactor wiring harness is connected to the electrical Hazardous voltage.
2.2 Automatic Operation restored before TDES ends, the controller resets the time delay. If the normal power failure persists and The ATS controller monitors the normal and emergency TDES ends, the controller issues a signal to start the power sources and determines when a power source standby (emergency) generator to produce the has failed or is acceptable and controls the system emergency power source by closing the engine-start...
contactor mechanism’s inertia carries it through the top DANGER of the cycle and into the normal position. The contactor is mechanically latched in the normal position until the next normal power source failure. The controller starts a time delay called time delay engine cooldown (TDEC). TDEC allows the engine and generator to run unloaded Hazardous voltage.
