Functional Test
The Functional Test consists of two checks: voltage checks
and electrical operation.
Read all instructions on the wiring diagram and labels affixed
to the transfer switch. Note the control features that are
provided and review their operation before proceeding.
Do these checks in the order presented to avoid
damaging the transfer switch.
Figure 2. Four indicator lights on Group H Controller
1 – Voltage Checks
First check the nameplate on the transfer switch; rated voltage
must be the same as normal and emergency line voltages.
Perform steps 1 through 6 at the right. Observe the indicator
lights. See Figure 2.
●
Black circle means the light is on.
○
White circle means the light is off.
* If necessary, adjust the voltage regulator on the generator
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The
transfer switch will respond only to the rated voltage specified
on the transfer switch nameplate.
Also see User’s Guide 381333-444 for voltage settings in the
Group H controller.
Use extreme caution when using a meter to
measure voltages in the following steps.
Do not touch power terminals; shock, burns, or
death could result!
1
Close the normal source circuit breaker. The
normal source accepted and the load on normal
lights should come on.
2
Use an accurate voltmeter to
check phase to phase and
phase to neutral voltages
present at the transfer switch
normal source terminals.
3
Close the emergency source circuit breaker.
(Start generator, if necessary.) The emergency
source accepted light should come on.
4
Use an accurate voltmeter to
check phase to phase and
phase to neutral voltages
present at the transfer switch
emergency source terminals.*
5
Use a phase rotation meter to
check phase rotation of
emergency source; it must be
the same as the normal
source.
6
Shut down the engine-generator, if applicable.
The emergency source accepted light should go
off. Then put the starting control selector switch
(on the generator set) in the automatic position.
Close the enclosure door.
