Abstract: In an example, a control system for controlling a generator and providing an alarm upon detection of a fault condition. The control system includes a control relay, which includes a normally-open (NO) contact pair and a normally-closed (NC) contact pair, between the transfer switch and a controller. The NO contact pair is provided by a NO contact and a common contact, and the NC contact pair is provided by a NC contact and the common contact. The controller can receive signals indicative of a state of the contact pairs of the control relay and, based on the signals, determine whether to activate the generator and/or activate an alarm system.

Abstract: A method includes identifying an enablement request to control enablement of a first software configurable accessory (SCA) of available SCAs that are each configured to interact, when activated, with at least one corresponding hardware components of a plurality of hardware components associated with the ATS, wherein the first SCA is configured to interact, when activated, with a first hardware component. The method further includes enabling the first SCA responsive to identifying the enablement request, wherein SCAs of available SCAs that have been enabled are available to be activated, and displaying an interactive graphical element (IGE) that corresponds to the first SCA at an interface of the ATS when the first SCA is enabled, wherein the IGE is configured to facilitate interaction between a user and the first SCA for activating and/or providing input to the first SCA for interacting with the first hardware component.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for transferring a load between a primary power source and a secondary power source. In accordance with the disclosure, a controller senses, via a sensor, an electrical signal providing power from the primary power source to the load. The controller also detects a non-conforming power event by determining that a parameter of the electrical signal is either more or less than a first threshold value. Responsive to the detection of the non-conforming power event, the controller determines a quantity of non-conforming power events that occur during a first time interval. The controller further can compares the determined quantity of non-conforming power events to a second threshold value. Responsive to the determined quantity of non-conforming power events being either greater or lesser than the second threshold value, the controller initiates a control signal, such as a control signal to initiate a load transfer.

Abstract: Methods and systems for control of a power-quality measuring or monitoring device, such as a transfer switch, are provided. An example method includes a transfer-switch controller of a transfer switch receiving an input command from a user. The method further includes, in response to receiving the input command, the transfer-switch controller entering a safe state, wherein in the safe state operational settings of the transfer switch remain unchanged. Still further, the method includes, after entering the safe state, the transfer-switch controller providing, based on operational data specific to the transfer switch, information regarding a feature of the transfer switch.
