 Selective Coordination - Good

•No
overlapping
fault current of
individual
devices.
•This is
coordinated
properly.
•In a perfect
Tugino, ST MT world this7is
great.

Selective Coordination - BAD

•ATS Feeder Breaker •In this case,

since it takes 8
cycles for the
upstream
•8 cycles to clear breaker to clear
the fault, a 3
cycle rated
transfer switch
i inadequate.
