PLT Transition
This system provides open or closed transition transfer switch control of the power
between the normal and emergency sources to the system load. It also functions to
provide emergency power to the facility.
Refer to the PLT data sheet for more details.
The Cummins Power Command integrated control system generates and utilizes high
voltage, which presents a serious burn and shock hazard that can result in injury or
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.
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.
x Disconnect the negative contact first on engine batteries.
Always disconnect a battery charger from its power source before removing
the battery cables. Disconnecting the cables can result in voltage spikes
high enough to damage the DC control circuit of the set.
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.
Closed transition power transfer introduces risk to the power system because two
live sources are momentarily connected together. The following simple
installation practices can minimize these risks.
Prevent multiple transfer switches from transferring at the same time. Multiple transfer
switches transferring simultaneously can result in the genset voltage being unstable during
transfer. Two methods for preventing simultaneous transfer are:
o Staggering time delays between switches and
o Interconnecting aux contacts with inhibit functions.
Prevent the two sources from remaining connected indefinitely by connecting the ATS fail to
disconnect output to the shunt trip input of one of the breakers feeding the ATS. This
function is actually required by many utilities.
Note that it is only necessary to stagger the time delays when transferring
between live sources. After a utility failure it is not necessary to stagger time
delays for switching loads on to the genset unless the genset needs time to
recover after taking on the individual loads as is often the case when starting
large motors.

one ATS will transfer at a time for CHPC and BTPC 1600 – 3000 amp transfer
switches
Figure 2 - Using source connected contacts to inhibit transfers such that only one
ATS will transfer at a time for OTPC 1000 – 4000 and BTPC 125-1200 and 4000
amp transfer switches
Fail to disconnect
The Fail to Disconnect relay is active when the transfer switch remains connected
to both sources for more than 100 msec during a closed transition transfer. It
should be wired to the shunt trip of the breaker feeding the ATS on either the
normal or the emergency side. The fail to disconnect relay is located on the relay
signal module. See Figure 3.
Digital Display
The Digital Display Menu System is a two-line by 20-character graphical display
screen and six buttons, including Home and Previous Menu. The screen or menu
displays status information, parameters, events and messages. The buttons change
screens and parameters. Messages include navigational indicators for the other four
buttons.
Main Menus
The main menu system consists of three top-level menus that list vertical menus (or
submenus). The submenus display status information. This information cannot be
changed in the main menus. The main menus contain eight submenus, including the
Setup menus.
Setup Menus
Enter a password and unlock the key switch on the front panel, or bypass the
password and examine—but do not change—any parameter. When parameters are
changed in any setup menu, a prompt to either save the changes or to restore the
old value appears. Setting and navigating through the password menus is described
on the Events submenu.
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.

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.
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.
