Pre and Post transfer signals are also known as Selective Load Disconnect signals. The signals provide Pre-transfer and Post-transfer time delay notification via dry set/s of form C contacts when transferring from Emergency to Normal and from Normal to Emergency.
ASCO Transfer Switches offer standard and optional accessories for pre-and-post Transfer signals depending on the type/series of the Transfer Switch; please see the below accessory information about the Pre and Post transfer signal.
The most common application of Pre-Transfer Signal are as follows:
1. Motor Loads - used for disconnecting the equipment that allows residual load-side voltage to decay to prevent high inrush currents. The motor load is reconnected after a user-specified delay.
2. Elevator Controls - In order to avoid stranding passengers, it is necessary to provide a means for elevators to reach a building floor to allow passenger egress. The pre-transfer signal can interact with an ATS controller to signal elevator controls that transfer is about to occur. The elevator controls then send the elevator to the nearest floor of the building and open its door before power is interrupted.
