Description
GTEC transfer switches combine reliability and flexibility in a small, economic package for transferring loads
between a utility and a generator set, or between two generators.
The microprocessor control monitors utility and emergency Standby generator power. When utility power fails or is
unsatisfactory, the control starts the generator, then transfers the load from the utility to the generator. When
stable utility power returns, the switch automatically transfers the load back to the utility.
For genset-to-genset applications, the generator set that is connected to the utility side of the control is the lead
genset. If the lead generator set goes down or is taken offline, the transfer switch starts the second generator set
and transfers the load.
The fully integrated controller is designed for practical functionality, with LED indicators and digital pushbuttons for

 Transfer switch mechanism

• A powerful, economical AC solenoid operates GTEC transfer

switches.
• Independent break-before-make action is used for 2-pole, 3-pole
and 4-pole switches. On 4-pole/switched neutral switches, this action
prevents the objectionable ground currents and nuisance ground
fault tripping that can result from overlapping designs.
• A mechanical interlock prevents simultaneous closing of normal and
emergency contacts.
• Electrical interlocks prevent simultaneous closing signals to normal
and emergency contacts and interconnection of normal and
emergency sources through the control wiring.
• High-pressure silver alloy contacts resist burning and pitting.
Separate arcing surfaces further protect the main contacts. Contacts
are mechanically held in both normal and emergency positions for
reliable, quiet operation.
• Contact wear is reduced by multiple leaf arc chutes that cool and
quench the arcs. Barriers separate the phases to prevent interphase
flashover. Protective covers for lugs are available.

Transition Modes
Open delayed transition – In this transition mode the time required for the transfer switch to transfer between sources is
adjustable so that the load-generated voltages decay to a safe level before connecting to an energized source.
Recommended by NEMA MG-1 to prevent nuisance tripping breakers and load damage. Adjustable 0.5 secs - 10
minutes, and default 0.5 seconds.
Open in-phase translation – Initiates open transition transfer when in-phase monitor senses both sources are in phase
(voltage, phase and frequency). Operates in a break-before-make sequence. Includes ability to enable programmed
transition as a backup. The module waits indefinitely for synchronization unless the ‘Return to programmed transition’
function is active in which case after 2 minutes it performs a programmed delayed transfer.

Accessories
Elevator signal relay (M032) – Provides relay output contacts for sending a load-disconnect warning signal to the
elevator control. Transfer/re-transfer delay time is selectable for 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 30, 120 or 300 seconds.
Manual restore (S006) – Provides a key switch on the front door to allow the operator to control when the switch
transfers to the available normal source.

Electrical performance
The transfer switches listed below must be protected by circuit breakers or fuses. The following WCR ratings are available
when protecting the transfer switch with a circuit breaker or fuse. Short circuit ratings are stated in symmetrical RMS
