2.2.3 Controller Settings for MV ATSs
Refer to the manual from the manufacturer of the metal-clad switchgear for section handling, installation, power
connections, and testing.
The Group 5 Controller is factory set for medium voltage operation. These are the special settings:
1. Controller Voltage Jumper Blocks
The control voltage is typically stepped down to 120V, so the eight jumper blocks are factory arranged
horizontally for 120 V input.
2. Controller Menu Settings
ATS Information Rating is 1200, 2000, or 3000 A. The ATS information rating setting is 1200A, 2000A, or 3000A.
ATS Information is Circuit Breaker Non Bypass. The ATS information type setting is BRKR NBPS.
3. Lock-Out Relay (optional)
If an optional protective relay (device) is ordered for the normal and/or emergency source circuit breaker, a
Lock-Out Relay (LOR) is provided on the appropriate circuit breaker compartment door. The LOR responds to a
signal from a protective relay and in turn trips the appropriate circuit breaker. The LOR locks out the circuit
breaker until the fault is cleared and the protective relay and LOR has been reset. A red light and orange window
shows tripped.
