TSC 900 TRANSFER SWITCH CONTROLLER
PM 151 REV 5 16/04/19 Thomson Power Systems
2.6. AC CONTROL POWER INPUT
The TSC 900 requires 120VAC (nominal) control power input voltage. Independent AC control
power is required from both utility and generator supplies via potential transformers. AC control
power is utilized for internal TSC 900 control circuits and external control device loads. The
TSC 900 typically requires approximately 12VA AC power for internal control circuits but may
draw up to 30VA dependent upon external loads connected. The maximum external load is
limited by output contact ratings (i.e. 10A resistive, 120/250VAC). Total AC control power
requirements for each supply must be determined by adding both internal and external load
requirements.
2.7. AUXILIARY DC CONTROL POWER INPUT
The TSC 900 can be optionally supplied with 24VDC auxiliary control power input voltage for
applications requiring continuously energized control and display features. The maximum input
power draw is 25W. The 24VDC power must be from a regulated/filtered DC supply with
maximum +-10% voltage range.
2.8. PROGRAMMABLE INPUTS
The TSC 900 provides Qty 16 Programmable Inputs. Each input is activated by external contact
closure to common (i.e. DC Negative ground). Each programmable input can be independently
programmed to different functions. Refer to Programming section for available features.
2.9. OUTPUTS
The TSC 900 provides the following types of output circuits:
Isolated Form B contacts (10A, 250VAC Resistive)
Programmable Output Contacts
Isolated Form C contacts (2A, 250VAC Resistive)

NOTE: Output voltage is dependent upon AC control power input voltage.
Interposing relays are required between the TSC 900 outputs and the end device if loads exceed
the output current rating.
2.10. EXTERNAL ATS CONTROL WIRING
As a minimum, all external control wiring to/from the ATS must conform to the local regulatory
authority having jurisdiction on electrical installations. Specific wire sizes listed below are for
typical circuits of distances up to 500ft (150m)
