ZBTSD SERIES Delayed Transition Transfer Bypass/Isolation Switches An automatic transfer switch shall be furnished as specified herein. 1 GENERAL 1.1 The transfer switch shall be rated for the voltage and ampacity as shown on the plans and shall have 600-volt insulation on all parts in accordance with NEMA standards. 1.2 The current rating shall be a continuous rating when the switch is installed in an unventilated enclosure, and shall conform to NEMA temperature rise standards. 1.3 The unit shall be rated based on all classes of loads, i.e., resistive, tungsten, ballast and inductive loads. Switches rated 400 amperes or less shall be UL listed for 100% tungsten lamp load. 1.4 As a precondition for approval, all transfer switches complete with accessories shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories, under Standard UL 1008 (automatic transfer switches) and approved for use on emergency systems. 1.5 The withstand current capacity of the main contacts shall not be less than 20 times the continuous duty rating when coordinated with any molded case circuit breaker established by certified test data. Refer to the required withstand and close ratings as detailed in this specification. 1.6 Temperature rise tests in accordance with UL 1008 shall have been conducted after the overload and endurance tests to confirm the ability of the units to carry their rated currents within the allowable temperature limits. 1.7 Transfer switches shall comply with the applicable standards of UL, CSA, ANSI, NFPA, IEEE and NEMA. 1.8 The transfer switches shall be supplied with a microprocessor based control panel as detailed further in these specifications. 1.9 The microprocessor and all related control systems are housed in a separate compartment that will permit all customer connections to be terminated in an enclosed chamber free of high voltage / high current connection terminals. This isolated compartment shall be comprised of strictly low voltage devices and connection points. All connections will be intended for low voltage / low current feed and shall be clearly marked for ease of use. Every connection point will be equipped with screw terminals and will not permit for bare wire connections. 1.10 A bypass-isolation transfer switch shall be provided to permit convenient manual electrical bypass and isolation of the automatic transfer switch that could not otherwise be tested, inspected and maintained without interrupting the load. Bypass of the load to either the normal or emergency power source with complete isolation of the automatic transfer switch shall be possible regardless of the status of the automatic transfer switch. The bypass-isolation switch shall permit proper operation by one person through the movement of a separate handle. The entire system shall consist of two elements: the automatic transfer switch and the bypassisolation switch furnished completely factory interconnected and tested. 1.11 The construction of the Automatic Transfer Switching device shall be such that the current carrying contacts are fully enclosed to prevent external arc flashes yet constructed such that they can be easily accessed for visual inspection and replacement if necessary. It is desired that access to these contacts be directly from the front of the ATS without the need to remove or disassemble major components or devices within the bypass design. Publication # GS-1105 ZBTSD Series ATS - Page 1 Date: December 11, 2008 1.12 A bypass-isolation transfer switch shall be provided with the features necessary to allow for isolation of the Automatic Transfer Switch via external means without the need to access the current carrying components of the device. All transitional motion of the Automatic Transfer Switch (Auto / Test / Isolate) shall be accomplished via external means without the need to open the main enclosure door. Included in this requirement is the ability to store all operating handles in a separate compartment that is free and away from the line voltage / line current carrying elements. To ensure that only qualified personnel can access the internal live, the design shall be such that all operating handles may be stored and locked in this compartment if required/desired by building/local facilities management. 1.13 A bypass-isolation transfer switch shall be equipped with an automatic shutter system that will automatically open and close upon installation and removal of the Automatic Transfer Switch portion of the system. The system shall behave in such a manner that will prevent incidental contact with all live bus systems via a moving shutter. During Automatic operation, the shutter system shall remain open allowing for electrical connection between the Automatic Transfer Switch and the Bypass assembly. In Test Mode, the shutter system will automatically adjust, isolating the live bus from the automatic transfer switch. This will ensure a safe operation of the Automatic Transfer Switch with zero current passing through the main contact assemblies. In the Isolate Mode, once again the shutter system will remain closed, isolating the live bus from the automatic transfer switch. Upon removal of the Automatic Transfer Switch from the assembly, there shall be no access or exposure to live bus systems and no risk of accidental or incidental contact between the live bus and the maintenance personnel. The design of this system shall be such that it will provide maximum protection against fault conditions that may occur on the front or rear panels of the bypass assembly. 1.14 To minimize installation and maintenance activities, the interaction between the front (ATS) and rear (BPI) panels should be smooth and consistent with no unreasonable effort required to realign the bus systems or other features within the front or rear panels. This applies to new installations as well as replacement of the automatic transferring device relative to the rear panel. Should a spare Automatic Transfer Switch of like ratings be available and need to be installed to replace a damaged unit or device, the installation shall be consistent with the standard operating instructions without the need to readjust components or features within the front or rear panels. 1.15 The operating speed of the bypass-isolation switch contacts shall be independent of the speed of operation of the bypass handle. 1.16 The isolation handle shall provide three positions: Automatic, Test and Isolate. The Test position shall permit electrical testing of the automatic transfer switch without disturbing the load. The Isolate position shall completely isolate the transfer switch from both sources and load without actual removal of the line or load conductors and allow its removal for inspection and maintenance. The transfer switch shall be arranged for draw out operation to facilitate its removal. Also, while in the Test or Isolate positions, the bypass-isolation switch shall function as a manual transfer switch to allow load transfer to either source of power, regardless of the position or condition of the transfer switch, including the condition when the transfer switch is removed, and without reconnecting the load terminal of the transfer switch. 1.17 The load shall not be interrupted during bypass-isolation functions. The addition of load-break contacts that cause load interruption is not acceptable. The bypass-isolation switch contacts shall not be in the system current path except during actual bypass operation. 1.18 The bypass-isolation transfer switch shall be furnished with a detailed step-by-step operating instruction plate, located outside on cabinet door, as well as the following function diagnostic lights: Publication # GS-1105 Normal source available ZBTSD Series ATS - Page 2 Date: December 11, 2008 Emergency source available Bypass switch in normal position Bypass switch in emergency position Automatic transfer switch in test position Automatic transfer switch isolated Automatic transfer switch inhibit Automatic transfer switch operator disconnect switch "OFF" Automatic transfer switch in normal position Automatic transfer switch in emergency position 1.19 The bypass-isolation switch shall be equipped with an independent engine start circuit so that, should a utility outage occur while in the bypass-normal/ATS isolated condition, the engine will automatically start and allow immediate selection of emergency bypass. 1.20 For ease of cable / bus connections, the design shall be such that it permits access to both sides and rear of the enclosure. This will ensure adequate workspace and access for connections during installation and maintenance 1.21 To ensure maximum system capabilities, the device shall be provided with means necessary to accommodate up to 8 cables of 750 MCM for maximum current carrying capacity. This capability shall be in the form of traditional mechanical lugs or approved compression lugs depending on the local system requirements. 1.22 For those applications where front connection is required, the design shall permit for the addition of components and supports necessary to make the appropriate connections within. It will be permissible for additional compartments to be added to the base design such that all bussing requirements fit within the enclosure of the device and yet meet all UL, CSA, IEC, and NEC standards. Specific sizes for these add-on compartments shall be provided at the time of request. 1.23 To ensure that foreign objects or debris does not fall onto the Automatic Transfer Switch or any moving parts there within, the design should provide shrouds or other barriers to protect the bus system and moving parts. This shroud or barrier device should be an integral part of the product design and should not have to be removed or reinstalled prior to commissioning the equipment. These barriers should be a permanent part of the design as debris may fall onto the unit at any point during the life of the product. 1.24 The complete bypass-isolation transfer switch shall be tested to ensure proper operation of the individual components and correct overall sequence of operation and to ensure that the operating transfer time, voltage, frequency and time delay settings are in compliance with the specification requirements. 1.25 The equipment shall be constructed for use in seismically vulnerable areas and certified for compliance with the seismic requirements in this specification. The equipment provider shall submit details of the required installation, including supports, anchors, and restraints. The equipment provider shall submit a Certification Document, stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer, stating compliance of the submitted equipment to the following parameters: a) Certification to IBC 2006 & IEEE STD 693-2005 (covering Moderate and High levels). b) Peak Design Spectral Response Acceleration (Sds) = 3.6g c) Spectral Response (% of g) = 300% d) Importance Factor (Ip) = 1.5, with operation defined as transferring from the primary to the alternate supply during the simulated event. e) Site Class D f) Applicable for mounting at any location in the building, with z/h = 1.0 Publication # GS-1105 ZBTSD Series ATS - Page 3 Date: December 11, 2008 2 1.26 The bypass-isolation transfer switch shall be the product of one manufacturer and completely factory interconnected and tested so that only the services and load connections to the bypassisolation switch are required for field installation. All interconnections between the transfer switch and the bypass-isolation switch shall be silver-plated bus bar. A visual position indicator shall be provided to indicate bypass-isolation switch positions. Enclosure construction shall be in accordance with UL and NEMA standards for industrial controls. 1.27 In the event that the Automatic Transfer Switch needs to be removed from the enclosure, the design shall provide for several options to complete this task. Included in these options are optional ramps that can be temporarily affixed to the front of the unit or optional carts/dollies that can be wheeled right up to the unit for the easy transfer of the ATS from the enclosure to the rollaway cart assembly. This will ensure an easy and safe removal of the ATS without the need to create inclined ramp assemblies. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 2.1 The ATS shall incorporate adjustable three phase under and over-voltage and three phase under and over-frequency sensing on the normal source. 2.2 When the voltage of any phase of the normal source is reduced to 80% or exceeds 110% nominal voltage, or frequency is displaced 2 Hz from nominal, for a period of 0-10 seconds (programmable) a pilot contact shall close to initiate starting of the engine generator. 2.3 The ATS shall incorporate adjustable three phase under and over-voltage and three phase under and over-frequency sensing on the emergency source. 2.4 When the emergency source has reached a voltage value within +/- 10% of nominal and achieved frequency within +/- 5% of the rated value, the load shall be transferred to the emergency source after a programmable time delay. 2.5 When the normal source has been restored to not less than 90% of rated voltage on all phases, the load shall be re-transferred to the normal source after a time delay of 0 to 30 minutes (programmable). The generator shall run unloaded for 5 minutes (programmable) and then automatically shut down. The generator shall be ready for automatic operation upon the next failure of the normal source. 2.6 If the engine generator should fail while carrying the load, retransfer to the normal source shall be made instantaneously upon restoration of proper voltage (90%) on the normal source. 2.7 Inspection and operational tests shall be conducted by the contractor in the presence of the engineer, to indicate that the switch satisfies the specifications. 2.8 The transfer switch shall be equipped with a microprocessor based control panel.
