death. Observe all danger, warning, and caution notations within this manual and obey
all safety placards on the equipment.
Arc flash and shock hazard appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE) is required. Do not operate controls or open covers without
appropriate PPE. Failure to comply may result in injury or death.
Refer to NFPA 70E for minimum PPE requirements.
www.cumminspower.com
Equipment Cabinets
High voltage is present in the equipment cabinets, the generator sets, and the
switchgear bus bars and cabling.
High voltage can cause severe burns or shock resulting in serious injury
or death. Avoid contact with body parts, clothing, jewelry, and damp
surfaces.
x Keep equipment cabinet panel doors closed and locked. Make sure that only trained,
authorized personnel have keys.
x Before performing maintenance or adjustments to any system equipment, observe
that all equipment cabinet key locks are off and the engine control panel switch is in
the Stop/Off position.
x Disconnect the battery charger prior to removing the negative battery cable from the
battery as arcing could occur. Disconnect engine batteries negative contact first.
x Use insulated mats on dry wood platforms over metal or concrete floors when working
on any system equipment.
x Do not wear jewelry, damp clothing or shoes, or allow wet skin surfaces to contact the
system equipment.
x Keep away from the generator set while it is running, except to use the control panel.
Moving Parts
Maintain a safe clearance between all moving parts and body parts. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewelry around generator sets. Contact may result in
severe electric shock or mutilation causing personal injury or death.
Before performing any maintenance on the generator sets:
x Only qualified, trained personnel should perform maintenance.
x The generator set engine control panels must be in the Stop/Off position.
x To prevent arcing, disconnect the battery charger prior to removing the negative
battery cable from the battery.

OPERATION
PLT – Momentary Transfer Parallel Mode
Modes of Operation
x Open Transition
x Closed Transition Momentary (100ms maximum)
Under normal operating conditions, utility power is provided to the load through
the normal (utility) circuit breaker. The emergency (Genset) circuit breaker is
open and the Genset is stopped. Two modes of operation are available and can
be configured from the front panel of the PowerCommand ATS controller. This
is a password protected function.
Open transition will provide a load break transfer between sources.
Closed transition momentary will provide a non-load break transfer but
depending on the GenSet size and the load on the system could cause a
voltage and frequency transient. During a momentary transfer the two sources
are connected together for a maximum of 100 ms which will effectively block
load the GenSet with the full system load, possibly causing voltage and
frequency deviations that exceed desired levels. Special attention should be
used in selecting the proper GenSet for this application.
Loss of Normal Power
On the loss of normal power the PowerCommand ATS controller will signal the
GenSet to start (hard wired and network output) and after the time delay start
has expired, the GenSet will start and accelerate to rated speed and voltage.
When the frequency and voltage reach their normal operating range, and after
the transfer time delay has expired the controller will signal the normal (utility)
breaker to open, and permit the emergency (Genset) breaker to close so that
the GenSet will be supplying the full facility load.
Return of Normal Power
Once the normal power returns the PowerCommand ATS controller will
respond according to the mode that has been selected by the operator.
If open transition is selected, the PowerCommand ATS controller will wait for
the retransfer time delay and then issue the emergency breaker open signal. It
will verify that the emergency breaker is open, wait for the program transition
time delay and then initiate a normal (utility) breaker close signal. The ATS
controller will remove its start signal from the GenSet, the GenSet will continue
to run for a cool down period and then shut down.

Operation & Maintenance Manual
OP--2
OPERATION
If closed transition momentary is selected, following the retransfer time delay
the controller will signal the GenSet to enable the synchronizer (GenSet
function), and the GenSet will synchronize to the normal source and hold the
two sources in sync.
The ATS controller monitors the two sources and when they are in sync
according to the adjustable in-sync acceptance criteria a normal (utility) breaker
close signal is initiated. The controller verifies that the normal breaker has
closed and starts timing for the maximum parallel time (100ms). As soon as the
time expires, it will issue the emergency breaker open signal. At no time during
the transfer is there an interruption in the power supplying the loads. The ATS
controller will remove its start signal from the GenSet, the GenSet will continue
to run for a cool down period and then shut down.
Test/Exercise Mode:
Once the test or exercise mode is selected the PowerCommand ATS controller
will respond according to the mode that has been selected by the operator.
If open transition is selected, following the transfer time delay the
PowerCommand ATS controller will signal the GenSet to start (hard wired and
network output) and after the time delay start has expired, the GenSet will start
and accelerate to rated speed and voltage. When the frequency and voltage
reach their normal operating range and after the transfer time delay has
expired, the controller will signal the normal (utility) breaker to open, wait for the
program transition time delay and then permit the emergency (GenSet) breaker
to close so that the GenSet will be supplying the full facility load.
If closed transition momentary is selected, following the transfer time delay the
controller will signal the GenSet to start. The GenSet will start, accelerate to
rated speed and voltage and synchronize (GenSet function) to the normal
source and hold the two sources in sync. The ATS controller monitors the two
sources and when they are in sync according to the adjustable in-sync
acceptance criteria the GenSet breaker close inhibit is removed allowing the
breaker to close. The controller verifies that the GenSet breaker has closed and
starts timing for the maximum parallel time (100ms). As soon as the time
expires, it will issue the normal breaker open signal. At no time during the
transfer is there an interruption in the power supplying the loads. The GenSet
will continue to carry the load until the test/exercise mode is terminated either
by the operator or a time-out at which time the load will be transferred back to
the normal source as described in the “Return of Normal Power” section above.

OPERATION
PLT – Soft Ramp Transfer Mode
Modes of Operation
x Open Transition
x Closed Transition Momentary (100ms maximum)
x Closed Transition Ramping
Under normal operating conditions, utility power is provided to the load through
the normal (utility) circuit breaker. The emergency (Genset) circuit breaker is
open and the Genset is stopped. Four modes of operation are available and
can be configured from the front panel of the PowerCommand ATS controller.
This is a password protected function.
Open transition will provide a load break transfer between sources.
Closed transition momentary will provide a non-load break transfer but
depending on the GenSet size and the load on the system could cause a
voltage and frequency transient. During a momentary transfer the two sources
are connected together for a maximum of 100 ms which will effectively block
load the GenSet with the full system load, possibly causing voltage and
frequency deviations that exceed desired levels. Special attention should be
used in selecting the proper GenSet for this application.
Closed transition ramping will provide a non-load break transfer and a smooth
transition of the load between sources at a rate that can be adjusted at the
GenSet control.

OPERATION
Return of Normal Power
Once the normal power returns the PowerCommand ATS controller will
respond according to the mode that has been selected by the operator.
If open transition is selected, the PowerCommand ATS controller will wait for
the retransfer time delay and then issue the emergency breaker open signal. It
will verify that the emergency breaker is open, wait for the program transition
time delay and then initiate a normal (utility) breaker close signal. The ATS
controller will remove its start signal from the GenSet, the GenSet will continue
to run for a cool down period and then shut down.
If closed transition momentary is selected, following the retransfer time delay
the controller will signal the GenSet to enable the synchronizer (GenSet
function), and the GenSet will synchronize to the normal source and hold the
two sources in sync. The ATS controller monitors the two sources and when
they are in sync according to the adjustable in-sync acceptance criteria a
normal (utility) breaker close signal is initiated. The controller verifies that the
normal breaker has closed and starts timing for the maximum parallel time
(100ms). As soon as the time expires it will issue the emergency breaker
open signal. At no time during the transfer is there an interruption in the power
supplying the loads. The ATS controller will remove its start signal from the
GenSet, the GenSet will continue to run for a cool down period and then shut
down.
If closed transition ramping is selected, following the
retransfer time delay the controller will signal the GenSet to enable the
synchronizer (GenSet function); the GenSet will synchronize to the normal
source and hold the two sources in sync. The ATS controller monitors the two
sources and when they are in sync according to the adjustable in-sync
acceptance criteria a normal (utility) breaker close signal is initiated. The
controller verifies that the normal breaker has closed and starts timing for the
maximum parallel time. When the GenSet sees both source breakers closed
and the unload signal on its external load set lines, it will ramp the load onto the
utility source. As soon as the time expires or the controller receives and input
signal from the GenSet indicating it is unloaded, it will issue the emergency
breaker open signal. At no time during the transfer is there an interruption in
the power supplying the loads. The ATS controller will remove its start signal
from the GenSet, the GenSet will continue to run for a cool down period and
then shut down.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
The recommended schedule for maintaining this equipment is based on our experience
with these types of installations. Cummins recommends a maintenance schedule based
on calendar lapsed time as applied to the entire paralleling system.
Disconnect this
equipment from
its power source
before cleaning.
Clean operator interface panel
Use a damp
cloth. Do not use
liquid or spray
detergents for
cleaning.
Manuals,
maintenance
Check power system equipment charts, and logs
must be
documentation accessible to
operations and
maintenance
personnel.
www.cumminspower.com
Operation of a protective device to interrupt normal power to one or more transfer switches
causes the transfer switch to sense a normal power failure and signal the paralleling
system to start. When the gensets close to the bus, the transfer switches connect their
loads to the emergency bus exactly as they would during a normal power failure.
Transfer switches may be wired to close to the bus in priority sequence. If not all gensets
in the system start, transfer switches feeding low-priority loads may not be automatically
transferred to the paralleling system. System controls include provisions for manually
adding loads to the system.
When the system is up and running, record information on the appropriate maintenance
log. See the Appendix of this manual for maintenance logs.
On reclosure of the protective device feeding the transfer switch, the transfer switch
signals the paralleling system that normal power has returned and begins timing to
retransfer to the normal bus.
When all transfer switches are retransferred to normal power, the paralleling breakers
open and the gensets operate for a cooldown period, and then shut down.
www.cumminspower.com
Testing can expose personnel to hazards that can result in serious injury
or death. Make sure that all persons are clear of the equipment and are
aware of this test. Some of these tests will momentarily disrupt power to
the loads. Be sure to alert all areas requiring power prior to running tests
to prevent an emergency.
System Test
The paralleling system equipment should be operated on a weekly basis to enhance the
operational integrity of the system. Failure to do so may increase maintenance costs and
reduce the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended that the system be operated
under load for a running test of the equipment.
The system test can be accomplished by three separate control actions. (The first two
selections may be used when the power system includes transfer switches.)
x Open the potential test switches feeding the normal side of one or more of the transfer
switches in the system.
x Select manual transfer mode then start the genset and initiate transfer to the genset
from the Manual Control screen.
x Select the Test Control Mode on the System Control screen.
The first two options cause a momentary power failure to the loads in the facilities that
are fed by the transfer switches used for testing. Momentary power failure occurs on
initiation of the test sequence and on return of the loads to the normal utility service.
Alert all appropriate areas requiring power before running tests to prevent
causing an emergency.
