Operation
DEFINITIONS
Open Transition/Time Delay Neutral:
Time Delay Neutral is a feature that will
provide a pre-set time delay in the neutral
position allowing the voltage on the load to
decay. This is an open transition that
prevents in-rush currents from exceeding
normal starting currents when transferring
motor loads.
(Option 32A)
Open Transition/Delayed with Load Voltage
Decay: Load voltage decay transfer is a
feature that, after opening the switch from the
original source, holds in the neutral position
until the voltage on the load is less than 30%
of rated voltage. This is an open transition that
prevents in-rush currents from exceeding
normal starting currents in the case where
motor loads are being transferred.
(Option 32B)
Open Transition/In-Phase Monitor:
In-Phase monitor is a feature that will allow
a transfer between two sources only when
the phase difference between the two
sources is near zero. This is an open
transition transfer that prevents in-rush
currents from exceeding normal starting
currents in the case where motor loads are
being transferred.
(Option 32C and 32D)
SWITCH OPERATION
In the event of a power failure, the IQ
Transfer will automatically become active.
Once the alternate source becomes
available, the IQ Transfer will display the
status of timers, and initiate a transfer.
