SECTION 1 INSTALLATION

1---1

ASCO 4000 Series Automatic Open�–Transition TransferSwitches are factory wired and tested. Field installationsimply requires mounting and connection of servicecables, and auxiliary control circuits (if required).

Remove the Shipping SkidFor large switches, open the front door and remove thefour lag screws (2 in front, 2 in rear) securing enclosureto the wood skid.

Supporting Foundation

The supporting foundation for the enclosure must leveland straight. Refer to the applicable enclosure outlinedrawing included with the ATS for all mounting detailsincluding door opening space.

If bottom cable entry is used, the foundation must beprepared so that the conduit stubs are locatedcorrectly. Refer to the enclosure outline drawing forspecified area and location. Provide cable bendingspace and clearance to live metal parts. When aconcrete floor is poured, use interlocking conduitspacer caps or a wood or metal template to maintainproper conduit alignment.

MountingRefer to the outline and mounting diagram provided withthe ATS; it shows all mounting details and instructions.

Protect the switch from construction gritand metal chips to prevent malfunction orshortened life of the automatic switch switch.

Mount the ATS vertically to a rigid supporting structure.Level all mounting points by using flat washers behindthe holes to avoid distortion of the switch.

The controller is mounted on the cabinet door. Anadd-on DIN rail is provided for some optional accessoriesand is mounted below controller on the door.

De�–energize the conductors before making anyline or auxiliary circuitry connections. Be surethat Normal and Emergency line connectionsare in proper phase rotation. Place enginegenerator starting control in the OFF position.Make sure engine generator is not in operation.

Testing Power Conductors

Do not connect the power conductors to the transferswitch until they are tested. Installing power cables inconduit, cable troughs and ceiling-suspended hangersoften requires considerable force. The pulling of cablescan damage insulation and stretch or break theconductor�’s strands. For this reason, after the cables arepulled into position, and before they are connected, they

should be tested to verify that they are not defective orhave been damaged during installation.

Connecting Power Conductors

AWiring Diagram is furnished with the ASCO 4000Series ATS (separate from this manual). Refer to thisdrawing. All wiring must be made in accordance withthe National Electrical Code and local codes.

After the power cables have been tested, connect them tothe appropriate terminal lugs on the transfer switch asshown on the wiring diagram provided with the switch.Make sure the lugs provided are suitable for use with thecables being installed. Standard terminal lugs aresolderless screw type and will accept the wire sizes listedon the drawings provided with the switch. Be carefulwhen stripping insulation from the cables; avoid nickingor ringing the conductor. Remove surface oxides fromcables by cleaning with a wire brush. When aluminumcable is used, apply joint compound to conductors.Tighten cable lugs to the torque specified on rating label.

Do not run cables in front of or behind the switch.Cables can be bundled on the right side of the switch.Maintain proper electrical clearance between the livemetal parts and grounded metal: ½ inch minimum for150-400 amps, 1 inch minimum over 400 amps.

It is not necessary to remove the barriers from thetransfer switches to install the cables. If you do removethem,however, be sure to reinstall the barriers carefully.

Three cable spacers are included with 150, 200, & 230amp transfer switches. When installing power cables,run the cables through the cable spacers as shown inFigure 1-1. Position the cable spacers within 1½ inchesfrom the lugs.

The cable spacers must be located as shownfor 150, 200, and 230 ampere transfer switches.

Auxiliary Cable Boxes

For 1000 & 1200 amp. sizes, an auxiliary cable box isrequired for all (normal, emergency, & load)bottom ortop entry. Order ASCO part no. 609027 if required.

On 1000 & 1200 amp. be sure to install auxiliarycable box if both service and load cables areentering through the top or bottom of enclosure.

Bus ConnectionsFor large switches use grade 5 hardware to connect busto appropriate terminal plates. Wipe off the bussurfaces before they are joined. If the bus is very dirty,gently clean the surfaces with a non---flammablesolvent. Avoid touching the cleaned surfaces.

Tighten bolted joints to the torque specified in Table A.

The reliability of the connection dependson how clean and how tight the joint is.

Controller Ground

A grounding wire must be connected to the controller�’slower left mounting stud. Because the controller ismounted on the enclosure door, a conductive strapmust be used between the enclosure and the door. Thisconnection provides proper grounding which does notrely upon the door hinges.

HarnessesThe transfer switch is connected to the left side of thecontrol panel by a plug-in harness (two plugs).

Auxiliary CircuitsConnect auxiliary circuit wires to appropriate terminalson the transfer switch. Note the control features thatare furnished on this switch. Make the necessaryauxiliary connections by referring to the WiringDiagram.
