Application description
A transfer switch is a critical component of any emergency or
Load
standby power system. When power is lost from Source 1 (normal),
a transfer switch quickly and safely shifts the load circuit from
Figure 1. Standard Application Utility–Generator
Source 1 to Source 2 (emergency). This permits critical loads
to continue running with minimal or no outage. After power
to Source 1 has been restored, the retransfer process returns Generator–generator
the load circuit to Source 1. Transfer switches are sometimes applied between two generator
Contactor-based transfer switches are available with different sets for prime power use (often in remote installations). In such
operational modes, including: applications, source power is periodically alternated between the
generator sets to equally share run time.

Contactor construction Source 1
The Eaton open transition contactor transfer switch is available with
a two-position or a three-position mechanism. The transfer switch
with a two-position mechanism will transfer in phase between two
live sources. The transfer switch with the three-position mechanism
will transfer using a time delay in the neutral position.
The mechanism used to operate the Eaton contactor is a moment-
arily energized solenoid, consisting of a stationary core and a moving
core that are magnetically driven by an electrical coil. Both contactor
types have two cross shafts, one for Source 1 (S1) contacts and one
for Source 2 (S2) contacts. The design is such that the mechanism
is inherently interlocked so the device cannot be closed on Source 1
and Source 2 at the same time under any circumstances. When
switching from Source 1 to Source 2 or Source 2 to Source 1,
the mechanism will only allow a break-before-make operation
(open transition). The mechanism can be operated both electrically
and mechanically.
The two-position contactor does not have a neutral position and Source 2
is always closed on either S1 or S2. The two-position mechanism
has a single operating coil. The operation of the two-position
mechanism will provide an in-phase transfer. Microswitches
initiated by the Source 1 and Source 2 cross-shaft movement
provide position indication. Main Solenoid (trip solenoid

connected to any source power. The contacts are operated by the Three-Pole 1200A Contactor with Three-Position Mechanism
use of three solenoids: one main solenoid, one solenoid for source
select, and one for trip. The main solenoid provides the close action
for the Source 1 or Source 2 contact. The select solenoid directs the
contactor to close either Source 1 or Source 2. The trip solenoid will
trip either Source 1 or Source 2 contacts.
