SECTION 1 INSTALLATION
1---1
The ASCO 7000 Series Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)is factory wired and tested. Field installation requiresmounting, connecting service cables, and connectingengine start and auxiliary control circuits (if required).
Supporting Foundation
The supporting foundation for the enclosure must belevel and straight. Refer to the applicable enclosureoutline drawing included with the switch for allmounting details including door opening space.
If bottom cable entry is used, the foundation must beprepared so that the conduit stubs are located correctly.Refer to the enclosure outline drawing for specifiedarea and location. Provide cable bending space and ½inch minimum clearance to live metal parts. When aconcrete floor is poured, use interlocking conduit spacercaps or a wood or metal template to maintain properconduit 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 ASCO ATS vertically to a rigid supportingstructure. Level all mounting points by using flat washersbehind the holes to avoid distortion of the switch.
The controller is mounted on the cabinet door. Anadd-on DIN rail is provided for some optional accesso-ries and is mounted below the controller on the door.
Line ConnectionsAWiring Diagram is furnished with the ASCO 7000Series ATS (separate from this manual). Refer to thisdrawing. All wiring must be made in accordance withthe National Electrical Code and local codes.
De–energize the conductors before making anyline or auxiliary circuitry connections. Be surethat Normal and Emergency line connectionsare in proper phase rotation. Place engine gen-erator 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 hangers
often 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 notdefective or have been damaged during installation.
Connecting Power Conductors
After the power cables have been tested, connect themto the appropriate terminal lugs on the transfer switchas shown on the wiring diagram provided with theswitch. Make sure the lugs provided are suitable for usewith the cables being installed. Standard terminal lugsare solderless screw type and will accept the wire sizeslisted on the drawings provided with the switch. Becareful when stripping insulation from the cables; avoidnicking or ringing the conductor. Remove surfaceoxides from cables by cleaning with a wire brush. Whenaluminum cable is used, apply joint compound toconductors. Tighten cable lugs to the torque specifiedon rating label.
Three cable spacers are included with 150, 200, & 230 Atransfer switches. When installing power cables, run thecables through the cable spacers as shown in Figure 1-1.Position the cable spacers within 1½ inches from the lugs.
The cable spacers must be located as shownfor 150, 200, and 230 ampere transfer switches.
