    This document provides specifications for automatic transfer switches, including: 1. The automatic transfer switches will transfer electrical loads between a normal utility source and emergency generator source when the normal source drops below 70% voltage. 2. The switches must be rated for 380 Volts, 3 phase, 60 Hz AC power and include indicating lights, identification plates, and test switches. 3. The switches will start the emergency generator if normal voltage falls below 70% and retransfer the load back to normal power when it reaches 90% voltage, with adjustable time delays to avoid unnecessary starting and retransfer.

    switches, in accord with provisions of Contract Documents.
    2. Completely coordinate with the work of other trades.
    3. Although such work is not specifically indicated, furnish and install all
    supplementary or miscellaneous items, appurtenances and devices incidental to or
    necessary for a sound, secure and complete installation.
    B. Related work specified elsewhere:
    1. Section 16010, General Provisions for Electrical Works
    2. Section 16620, Standby Generator System
    3. Division 1, General requirements

    1.02 SUBMITTALS
    A. Shop drawings:
    1. Outline drawings of assembly.
    2. One line diagrams and wiring diagrams for assembly an components.
    3. Interconnection wiring diagrams.
    B. Product data:
    1. Complete catalog information.
    C. Contract closeout information:
    1. Operating and maintenance data.

    PART - 2 PRODUCTS

    2.01 MATERIALS
    A. Automatic transfer switches: Electrically operated mechanically held 3 phase AC, air-
    circuit breaker type, with supervisory relays on each phase of normal source and
    supervisory frequency/voltage relay for emergency source.
    1. The transfer switch shall be suitable for all classes of loads to 380 Volts , 3 phase,
    60 Hz AC power, when enclosed in an unventillated sheet metal enclosure major
    component of equipment shall have Manufacturer’s name, address, type & style
    and catalogue number on a plate.
    2. Adjust normal source supervisory relays to transfer load if voltage on any phase
    drops below 70 percent of normal and to restore load to normal source when
    Ministry of Higher Education 16490.DOC - 1

    SPECIFICATIONS

    normal source voltage on all phases is 90 percent or more.


    3. Obtain voltage for main contact operating solenoid from source to which load is
    being transferred.
    4. All transfer switches serving line to neutral load(s) shall be 4 - pole switches or
    shall have overlapping neutral contacts Transfer switches serving strictly line to
    line load(s) shall be 3 pole switches 380/220 volts.
    5. Make mechanical design of switch such that it will positively open all
    ungrounded conductors from normal source before connection is made to
    alternate source and will positively open alternate source before connection is
    made to normal source.
    6. Design mechanical interlock so it cannot be readily disabled, disconnected,
    improperly adjusted, removed or otherwise made inoperative.
    7. Switch shall have provisions for visual inspection of switch blades and contacts.
    8. Silver surface main contacts and protect by arcing contacts.
    9. Make all contacts and coils readily accessible for replacement from front of panel
    without major disassembly.
    10. Provide red and green indicating lights with fuses, identification nameplates, and
    test switch on front to simulate normal power failure at switch.
    11. Rate each individual switch as indicated.
    12. Provide written approval from the Saudi Consolidated Electric Company (SEC)
    Ensure that there can be no parallel operation between SEC power and power for
    emergency generator.
    13. Provide engine starting contacts and all other auxiliary contacts and accessory
    devices for functions to be performed.
    14. Provide time delay on engine start, field adjustable from 0 to 10 SEC., by SEC,
    and factory set at 4 SEC., to avoid unnecessary starting caused by short time
    outages.
    15. Provide time delay on retransfer to normal, field adjustable from 2 to 30 minutes,
    by minute, and factory set to avoid erratic operation caused by short time
    reestablishment of normal source.
    B. Operation of Automatic Transfer Switch
    Switch shall be arranged to start the generator automatically if normal source voltage
    falls below 70% of nominal Provide an adjustable time delay of 0 to five (5) minutes on
    engine shutdown in the switch These time delays shall operate only after retransfer to
    normal Include a Voltmeter mounted in the trim of switch, wired across two of the
    generator phases Sensing relays shall operate without contact chatter or false response
    when voltage is slowly varied to dropout and pickup levels Four auxiliary contacts shall
    be provided: Two for switch position indicating use, mounted on same shafts with main
    contacts; two auxiliary contacts, one normally open and one normally closed, shall
    operate after completion of the 3 second override delay All auxiliary contacts shall have
    10 ampere minimum continuos contact rating.
