PSP Products, Inc. has developed a unique generator transfer switch like no other on themarket. Our patented technology greatly reduces install time, goes outside at the meter, andcan be customized to fit your needs.

Some of our features include:

I. Retro fit version fits behind the meter for existing homes and small commercial, up to 48kW loads.

Comes in three configurations:• semi automatic – manual start/stop• fully automatic start/stop

IV. Monitors generator power and stops power flow from generator if power falls below105 Volts or exceeds 135 Volts on either leg, and will not transfer an unbalancedload.

V. All models automatically transfer back to line power.

VI. Powers customer’s entire service distribution panel.

VII. Models available with plug for portable generator hook up.

VIII.Records power outages and errors.

IX. Test switch to exercise the system, reset button, and diagnostic lights.

X. Redundant controls and safety features to insure reliable and proper operation.

XI. Generator maintenance cycle on auto start versions.

XII. Whole house surge protection available on new meter base and modular versions.

XIII. Internal electrical interlocks allow only one power source (utility company or generator)to supply power to main service panel.

XIV.A built-in .2-3 minute time delay allows voltage monitoring of either power sourcebefore the transfer occurs.

XV. Built-in surge protection is available on certain units.

The PSP Transconnect Interrupter is a relay board designed to disconnect loads from the main electric panelthat would otherwise overload a connected generator. The Interrupter should be used in any fullyautomatic application where the connected generator does not have the capacity to carry the entire,connected load. Loads such as electric hot water heaters, heat pumps, air conditioning systems, waterpumps or any devices that are not important to a homeowner to have in operation during a power outage,can be safely taken off line. This allows the TransConnect to automatically operate a generator that is notlarge enough to carry the entire home on its own.

Installation is simple. The Interrupter is mounted next to the existing electric panel and wires are rerouted tothe relay box from their current location in the electric panel. Short jumper wires are then installedbetween each relay and the breaker in the main electric panel that services that circuit.

Some models have room to add additional relays in the field for future upgrades. All units are ARL listedand approved to meet all safety standards.

Relays:

DPDT24V DC coil voltageContacts are rated to 30 or 50 Amp, 240V continuous ratings

Note: TransConnect or other control device must have Form C contacts with a 2 Amp at 30 Volts maximum rating to operate relays.

Model Number Number of Circuits Description Size

Pi-034B020 4 – 30 Amp 2 double pole 30 amp relays 8” W x 10” H– no terminal block

Pi-038K030 8 – 30 Amp 4 double pole 30 amp relays 11” W x 14” H– with terminal block

Pi-038K040 10 – 30 Amp 5 double pole 30 amp relays 16” W x 18” H– with terminal block

Pi-031T0P0 1 – 25 Amp Single pole unitwith chase nipple and pigtails

PiS060-D24 1 – 60 Amp 60 Amp relay add on – upgrades Pi-038K030to a 10 circuit panel with 8 – 30 Amp and2 – 50 Amp circuit that can be interrupted.

Note: AC or Heat Pump interrupt only: This can be done by routing the Thermostat wire through the “Interrupt” connections on theTransConnect control board. When the generator is engaged, the circuit is broken and the thermostat will be rendered inoperative so theAC or Heat Pump cannot turn on. This method avoids having to purchase an additional relay panel such as those listed above.Install time depends on the distance between the TransConnect and the thermostat in the home.

The Transconnect Generator Transfer Switch has built in safety features that prevent generatorback feed into the utility power system. The attached diagrams are intended to explain theoperational flow of electricity in Normal and Emergency conditions.

Normal Operation

When utility power is present, the normal flow of electricity is through the meter as usual. As thepower leaves the meter, it is diverted through a Latching Relay. The Latching Relay is in a closedposition to allow power to flow through from the utility to the panel inside the home. An optionalService Disconnect Breaker is available if required by local codes. Voltage Sensor # 1on theControl Board continually monitors the power on the utility side of the meter. The Control Boardwill report problems with the Utility voltage but it will not disconnect utility power under thistype of condition. If a total blackout occurs, the Voltage Sensor # 1will respond by beginningthe auto start sequence of an attached stationary generator or it will wait and watch for aportable generator to be hooked up.

Emergency Operation

Once a blackout condition is confirmed, the Control Board starts the generator or begins to“watch” for a generator to be connected. Voltage Sensor # 3 is the main control component todetermine when generator power is present and has stabilized. The transfer switch will notswitch to generator power if it does not see 105V to 135V on each leg measured to neutral. TheControl Circuit for the Latching Relay energizes the latch, which locks the relay into an “off” oropen position. Sensor # 4 verifies the position of the Latching Relay. The Control Circuit(s) forthe Generator Relays are then energized to close these normally open relays. Voltage Sensor #2 confirms power flow through the relays. Power is now supplied to the house without feed backof power into the utility system. Zero voltage is verified at Voltage Sensor # 1.

When power is restored by the utility, Voltage Sensor # 1 waits a predetermined period of timeto confirm that the power is truly restored and constant. If for any reason the utility power is notstable (such as 120V on one leg and 95V on the other); the TransConnect unit will not switch backto utility power. The Generator Relays are disengaged when any utility voltage is restored byVoltage Sensor # 1 releasing the Independent Control Relays. No Voltage can be present asconfirmed by Voltage Sensor # 2 before the Latching Relay is returned to a closed position.Closing the Latching Relay reconnects utility power to the house. This is verified by Sensor # 4.Stationary generators are automatically shut down. Portable generators are left running at an idleand require manual shutdown.

Switch off breakers in the panel box to shed load to reduce usage below the generator’s rating.Move the Portable Generator into position near the service entrance. (Not applicable if using astationary generator) Plug the generator into the TransConnect Transfer Switch. (Not applicable ifusing a stationary generator) Start the Generator. (The TransConnect automatically switches togenerator and then switches back when utility is restored) Shutdown the Generator afterutility power is restored. Return the generator and the panel to normal.
