However, complete information on the equipment, connection of facilities, and installation of equipment must be submitted for review for each project, as following:

  • Provide control elementary drawings of proposed Auto Transfer Switch (ATS) for review.
  • Ensure that an independent timer relay is implemented for safe operation of the equipment for complete failure of main ATS microprocessor controller.
  • A reliable AC/DC UPS power is provided to shunt trip device and independent timer relay.
  • Provide an elementary drawing to show the hard-wired interlocks and contact from timer relay to trip the main or the generator breaker (via shunt trip device) once the independent timer times out.
  • The independent timer relay must have a timer accuracy of 100ms or better.
