Transfer switch mechanism

• A bi-directional linear motor actuator powers OT III Transfer Switches.

This design provides virtually friction-free, constant force, straight-line
transfer switch action with no complex gears or linkages.
• Independent break-before-make action is used for both 3-pole and 4-
pole/switched neutral switches. On 3-pole/switched neutral switches,
this action also prevents the objectionable ground currents and
nuisance ground fault tripping that can result from overlapping
designs.
• A mechanical interlock prevents simultaneous closing of normal and
emergency contacts.
• Electrical interlocks prevent simultaneous closing signals to normal
and emergency contacts and interconnection of normal and
emergency sources through the control wiring.
• Long-life, high pressure, silver alloy contacts resist burning and pitting.
Separate arcing surfaces further protect the main contacts. Contacts
are mechanically held in both normal and emergency positions for
reliable, quiet operation.
• Superior arc interruption is accomplished through multiple leaf arc
chutes that cool and quench the arcs. Barriers separate the phases
and prevent inter-phase flashover
