  • Patent number: 10175299
    Abstract: A system includes a circuit interruption device, such as a circuit breaker, contactor or other switch of an automatic transfer switch (ATS) or a similar device providing power to an input of an ATS, and a monitoring circuit, such as a controller of the ATS, coupled to the circuit interruption device and configured to monitor voltages at inputs and outputs of the circuit interruption device, to monitor an auxiliary contact signal associated with auxiliary contacts of the circuit interruption device, and to determine a status of the auxiliary contacts responsive to the monitored voltages and auxiliary contact signal.

  • Patent number: 7973253
    Abstract: An interlock assembly for a bypass isolation open or closed transition ATS assembly is disclosed. The interlock assembly ensures that a switch assembly being worked upon and/or being inserted is in a neutral configuration, i.e. the switch assembly is not engaging a power source. The interlock assembly is, preferably, an electrical interlock having a control system structured to configure the switch assemblies and to monitor the configuration of the switch assemblies. That is, the switch assemblies each include a power operated, conductive, movable contact arm. The position of each contact arm is controlled, and monitored by, the control system which controls the single actuator for each contact arm.
