    4.1. PRODUCT MODEL CODE The type of TS 840 series transfer switch supplied is identified by way of a 21 digit product code which appears on the equipment rating plate (MODEL) on the door of the transfer switch, and on the transfer switch drawings. The model code structure and definitions are as follows: 1-3.

  • Page 21 TS 840 TRANSFER SWITCH An upstream over current protection device is required on the generator source which feeds the TS 840 Transfer Switch if integral over current protection option is not specified on the ATS. Note: For models of transfer switch with adjustable integral over current protection trip units, the over current protection must be set prior to operation.

  • Page 22: General Notes On Servicing Transfer Switch Mechanism

    This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified electrical personnel utilizing safe work practices and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Failure to do so may cause personal injury or death When performing any service work on the transfer mechanism, it is imperative that the following be observed: 7.1.
  • Page 23 TS 840 TRANSFER SWITCH testing must be done prior to placing a transfer switch in service subsequent to any maintenance or repair. Any service work involving electrical components requires high- potential testing to ensure that required insulation levels have been maintained.

    The power switching device toggles are set inside the operating arm slots and are moved by them. There are two limit switches, which are contacted by the operating arms (one for each power switching device), which disconnect the transfer motor power supply when the power switching devices have attained full travel.
  • Page 25 TS 840 TRANSFER SWITCH Automatic operation may be regained by replacing the control circuit isolation plug. With all sources of power de-energized to the transfer switch, the control circuit isolation plug can be re-connected. The drive system will operate the transfer switch to the required position.
