2.4 AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SCHEME
A. The existing Siemens medium voltage switchgear serves as an automatic transfer system (ATS) for
two utility power sources and a standby generator. One utility source is from Ameren Missouri
feeder "LAT #25385" (preferred) and the other utility source is from Ameren Missouri feeder
"LAT #25384" (reserve). The standby generator that backs up both utility sources is a
1280kW/1600kVA, 480V, 3-phase diesel-engine generator that connects through a 1500 kVA step-
up transformer to a 12.47kV "generator" breaker in the main switchgear.
B. Under normal conditions, the load is connected to the "prefened" utility source. When this utility
source is lost, the "preferred" circuit breaker shall open after a time delay and the "reserve" circuit
breaker shall close. Upon restoration of the "preferred" source, the "preferred" circuit breaker shall
close after a time delay and the "reserve" circuit breaker shall open. Either source can be selected as
"preferred." When both utility sources are lost, both the "preferred" and the "reserve" breakers shall
be opened, the generator shall be commanded to statt and, after stable generator output voltage is
detected for 2 seconds, the generator breaker shall close. When either utility source is restored for a
period of fifteen (15) consecutive minutes, the generator breaker shall open, the utility source breaker
that has stable voltage shall close, and the generator shall go into cool down mode. If the utility source
is lost while the generator is still running in cool down mode, the utility breaker shall open, and the
generator breaker shall close to pick up the load without delay. Total transfer time from loss of both
the incoming utility sources until the facility is powered from the standby generator shall be 10 seconds
in accordance with NFPA 110 requirements.
C. The automatic transfer system shall be equipped with proper relays and controls, including
undervoltage indication on each incoming line, designed and connected so that they will operate in the
following manner:
1. Either of the two lines may be selected as the "Preferred" line by means of a three (3)
position selector switch labeled: #1 Preferred, Manual, and #2 Preferred. The "Manual"
position is to be in the middle. Selector switch must be lockable in all positions. Selector
switch shall be Electroswitch Series 24 or approved equal.
2. The selection of the preferred feeder shall be accomplished without rewiring the control.
3. The control shall be symmetrical between the two lines. Reference to either line should apply
conversely to the other.
4. A lockout relay shall be provided to trip and lockout the two incoming line breakers in case of
a bus fault. Lockout controls must be in the trip and close circuits of the preferred main breaker

and the reserve main breaker. This lockout relay must be reset by hand before either breaker
can be closed. Lockout relays shall be Electroswitch LOR-1 or approved equal.
5. Equipment shall transfer on loss of one, two or three phases.
6. Breaker control switches shall be wired into automatic transfer scheme so that if a breaker is
opened, or it does not have a red target on it, the automatic transfer scheme will be disabled.
7. Hardwired interlocks shall prevent closing the generator breaker when either or both utility
breakers are closed and from closing either or both utility breakers when the generator
breaker is closed.
D. Automatic Mode: When the selector switch is in either of the preferred positions, the respective
line shall then be the preferred line and the system shall be set up so that it will operate as indicated
in the following table. The below operating table shall be engraved in black characters on white
laminated plastic and installed on the front of the switchgear in place of the existing operating table
that was installed prior to the installation of the campus standby generator.
1. The voltage condition "Hot" is defined as normal, balanced, three-phase voltage. The
voltage condition "Dead" is defined as any condition where one, two or three phases have
an undervoltage condition.

3. The control switch handle on each breaker shall have control over its associated breaker for
opening operations only. The control switch handle shall have no control over its associated
breaker for manual closing operations. Each control switch shall have suitable contacts
ananged so that tripping by either incoming line control switch handle will disable automatic
closing of both line breakers until the breaker's control switch is turned to the "closed" position
(red target).

position, each circuit breaker shall come under the control of its respective control switch handle
and shall be operated in the following manner:
1. Each of the circuit breakers shall remain in the same position (either open or closed) until
its respective control switch handle is operated to change its position.
2. The control switch handle on each breaker shall have complete control over its associated
breaker, permitting paralleling of supplies for closed transition switching, as well as testing
operations.
3. When the selector switch is moved from line one preferred position through the manual
position to line two preferred position, the line two breaker shall automatically close after
which the first breaker shall automatically open (closed transition).
4. When the switch is in the manual position all automatic operations shall be disabled.
F. Transfer Between Utility Source Feeders and Campus Generator: Provide an independent
hardwired breaker auxiliary contact scheme to prevent and/or break up a condition in which the
generator is in parallel with the Ameren Missouri system. Comply with all requirements of Ameren

1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The following document describes Ameren's requirements for the installation of Switchgear and
Metering on its electrical distribution system (i.e., 4.16kV, 12.47kV, 13.2kV, 34.5kV, and
69kV). While these system voltages are noted they may not be all inclusive through out all of
Ameren.
It is recommended that approval be obtained from Ameren before a purchase is made. Without
full approval, expensive modifications may have to be made in order to receive service.
Switchgear that does not meet the following requirements and is not approved by Ameren will
not be energized or placed in service.
Ameren requires a total of five completed sets of drawings for the review and approval of
projects. The typical review time needed by Ameren personnel is one calendar month, however
this may vary based on workload. Insufficient submittals, insufficient details, not meeting the
specification, and submittals not being project specific may also impact the required review time.

cable compartments.
Thy incoming cable compartment shall include a cable support bar (non-conductive material),
located approximately half way between the cabinet floor and the main bus utility cable
termination lugs (Y-plane) and approximately the same distance from the rear door as the main
bus utility cable termination lug (X-plane).
Grounding Facilities
All incoming cable compartments shall have a 5/8" diameter x 4" long grounding stud rigidly
attached to each phase of the incoming line/bus. The grounding studs shall be suitable for the
attachment of a C-clamp style grounding clamp. Ameren does not use ball type grounding
clamps. For example, an AB-Chance model T600-2364 or similar type stud would be
acceptable. The AB-Chance model C600-2102 is not acceptable.
The ground studs in each cable compartment shall be oriented pointing upward in a vettical
orientation or in a horizontal orientation. The studs shall not point outward from the bus.
The ground studs in the incoming cable compartment sections shall be located such that they can
be reached from ground level.
Ground studs shall be located such that no connections are made above or near energized
components. Any modifications necessary, including protective barriers, to ensure that this
requirement is met will be at the customer's expense.

3.5 Control Voltage
It has been Ameren's experience that customer owned batteries tend to be poorly maintained
creating a liability for the customer and Ameren. For this reason, Ameren recommends capacitor
trip units for the main and tie breakers.
m All capacitor trip units shall be approved by Ameren.

111
Each lockout relay and breaker trip coil shall have its own dedicated capacitor trip unit.
111
48V DC or 125V DC control voltage is permissible but not recommended.
When DC control voltage is used, the trip and close circuits shall be individually fused on each
breaker.
Battery maintenance is the customer's responsibility. Ameren reserves the right to check the
customer's batteries that power the switchgear's main overcurrent protection equipment. Lack
of DC power will prevent the breakers from performing their overcurrent protection. This is a
National Electric Code Violation and will be reported to the Authority Having Jurisdiction. The
inability of the batteries to perform their intended function will result in the de-energization of
the switchgear until repairs are made.
111 Breaker closing shall be AC controlled.
3.6 Switchgear Ratings

The customer must verify circuit breaker and switchgear fault-interrupting and fault-withstand
capability. Upon request, Ameren will provide minimum fault-interrupting and fault-withstand
capability, along with initial fault current levels.
The guideline for circuit breakers and switchgear in the Metropolitan St. Louis area is 30kA at
5kV with k=l (250 MVA) for 4 kV and 20kA at 15kV with k=l (500 MVA) for 12 kV.

5.0 RELAY/FUSE COORDINATION

5.1 General
Ameren shall review and approve all relays and relay settings on the main circuit breaker and
any tie or reserve circuit breakers.
Ameren will verify the customer has correctly set and calibrated the relays to the agreed upon
settings. Ameren reserves the right to witness the calibration of all relays by the customer's
relay tester, and/or verify the settings using Ameren test equipment. In some cases, Ameren may
request certified test reports for each of the main and/or tie relays.
Final relay acceptance by Ameren shall be based on the proposed schematics, relay style
numbers and settings. The customer shall submit proposed interfacing relay settings and style
numbers to Ameren for review. These relay guidelines may not apply to all situations.
Operating controls must be clearly marked and easy to identify and operate.
Please note that Ameren Missouri's phase rotation is CBA. Make sure that all47N relays and
customer metering are wired appropriately.
In Ameren Illinois, the phase rotation is provided by the respective division engineer.
5.2 Overcurrent Protection

In the Illinois areas this is provided by the local engineering at the respective division locations.
Overcurrent Relays
All relays shall be draw-out type with built-in test provisions. All overcurrent relays shall be
self-powered single phase relays. There shall be a minimum of three phase relays and one
neutral relay per incoming line. This provides N+ 1 relay redundancy for phase faults.
Ameren will allow multi-phase microprocessor relays if they are backed up by a set of single
phase self-powered single phase relays, as described above, or a second redundant
microprocessor relay is installed on each incoming line breaker. Each microprocessor relay shall
be installed with separate external test switches (ABB Flexitest).
Relays powered from AC station service are not allowed.

Overcurrent Lockout Relays
All fault-sensing relays on the incoming line breakers and tie breakers shall trip a lockout relay.
The lockout relay shall trip and block closing of its associated main.
The lockout relays are required to trip on non-clearing faults.
The lockout relays shall prevent the closing of the reserve main breaker/switch or tie
breaker/switch into a fault.
The lockout relays shall provide this functionality in automatic and manual transfer modes of
operation. This shall apply with or without main incoming fuse protection.
Loss of Voltage Lockout Relays
Ameren does not recommend loss of voltage lockout relays, as they can lead to operating errors
and unnecessary outages.
Transformer Top Oil Lockout Relays
In the cases where the primary switchgear is served directly from an Ameren-owned substation
transformer, Ameren requires the installation of a transformer top oil over temperature lockout
relay. The transformer top oil lockout relay shall trip and block closing of its associated main
breaker.
Ameren will provide one set of dry contacts from the substation transformer top oil temperature
relay to trip the lockout relay. This lockout relay shall be solely dedicated for operation by the
transformer top oil temperature relay.
The transformer top oil lockout relay shall operate in either automatic or manual transfer modes.
When capacitor trip units are used, each lockout relay and breaker trip coil shall have its own
dedicated capacitor trip unit.
The transformer top oil lockout relay shall not block closing of a tie breaker or a reserve main
breaker.

CE-10 1
SERVICE
Sheet
12/14 meren 13 of 41
In switchgear that has automatic transfer capability, the top oil lockout relay shall initiate a
transfer to the alternate source when in automatic mode.
The transformer top oil lockout relay shall turn on an AC powered audible horn I buzzer to alert
personnel that the lockout relay has tripped.
6.0 MANUAL TRANSFER SCHEMES

6.1 General
Manual transfer switchgear shall have a mechanical or electrical interlocking scheme to prevent
the paralleling of incoming supplies by the customer. The scheme shall force the customer to
perform open transition switching between the incoming supplies.
Under Ameren's supervision, spare kirk keys may be utilized or the electrical interlocks may be
disabled by a 43 switch to perform closed transition switching between incoming supplies in
order to perform switching without causing an outage to the customer. Ameren will not allow a
scheme that does not allow for closed transition switching under Ameren's supervision.
Turning a control switch on a main or tie breaker/switch to the trip position shall directly trip the
breaker. This shall not be dependent on the position of any other control switches or interlocks.
In Ameren Illinois all transfer schemes are reviewed on an individual basis.
6.2 Kirk Key Interlock

If the interlock scheme is a kirk-key arrangement a spare key is required. All spare kirk-keys
shall be kept under Ameren's exclusive control. Typically Ameren will provide a lock box for
installation on the switchgear. The spare kirk keys will be stored in the lock box and secured
with an Ameren padlock. Ameren will utilize the spare kirk keys to perform closed transition
switching between incoming supplies without causing a customer outage.
6.3 Electrical Interlock

The customer shall provide a hard wired key lockable 43 switch. The switch shall be lockable in
the Normal position. The key shall be removable in the Normal and Parallel positions.
Typically Ameren will provide a lock box for installation on the switchgear. The 43 switch keys
will be stored in the lock box and secured with an Ameren padlock.
When the 43 switch is in the Normal position, the electrical interlock scheme shall be hard wired
to prevent the paralleling of the incoming supplies. It shall force open transition switching
between the incoming supplies.

CE-10 1
SERVICE
Sheet
12/14
When the 43 switch is in the Parallel position, the electrical interlock scheme shall allow the
paralleling of the incoming supplies. Each control switch shall have complete control over the
trip and close operations of its associated breaker/switch. Ameren will not allow a scheme that
does not allow for closed transition switching under Ameren's supervision.
Under Ameren's supervision, the 43 switch may unlocked and placed in Parallel to perform
closed transition switching between incoming supplies in order to switch between supplies
without causing a customer outage.
It is the customer's responsibility to provide for single phasing protection. The protection should
protect the customer for the loss of any one, two, or three phases. Ameren recommends using a
negative sequence voltage relay and under voltage relays for this functionality (27 I 47N). In
addition, the relaying should prevent transferring to a reserve feeder that is single phasing.
7.0 AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SCHEMES

7.1 General
A 43 AIM (Automatic/Manual) selector switch shall be installed that will disable the automatic
scheme and allow manual operation. Ameren prefers that just one Auto/Manual control switch
be used to control the automatic scheme for the main incoming lines and bus ties.
The 43 AIM switch shall have a handle that can be key-locked in either the automatic or manual
position. The key shall be removable in the automatic and manual position.
The customer shall not possess any of the 43 AIM key or any copies. The keys will be secured
in a lock box mounted near the 43 AIM switch. Only Ameren will have access to the keys.
The 43 AIM switch shall be mounted on the door of either the main breaker/switch cubicle or the
tie breaker/switch cubicle.
The 43 AIM switch shall be a two-position switch labeled "Auto" and "Manual" for all
arrangements except the Preferred-Reserve arrangement, in which case the switch will be a
three-position switch labeled "Preferred 1", "Manual" and "Preferred 2".
The main breaker/switch and tie breaker/switch control switches shall be wired into the
automatic transfer scheme so that if a main or tie breaker/switch does not have a red target on the
control switch, the automatic transfer scheme will be disabled.
The main breaker/switch and tie breaker/switch close circuit shall have a control switch normal
after close contact in the automatic control string to prevent automatic operation when its

CE-10 1
SERVICE
Sheet
12/14
associated control switch has a green target. This shall be accomplished by wiring a control
switch normal after close contact in series with the automatic close control path.
When the 43 AIM switch is in the "manual" position all automatic operations shall be disabled.
The control switch shall directly trip and close the breaker/switch. Ameren will not allow a
scheme that does not allow for closed transition switching under Ameren's supervision.
When the 43 AIM switch is in the "manual" position the main and tie breaker/switch control
switch shall have complete control over their associated breaker/switch. They shall not be
interlocked in any way, with the exception of the lockout relays.
Turning a control switch on a main or tie breaker/switch to the trip position shall trip the
associated breaker/switch and block automatic operation. This shall not be dependent on the
position of any other control switches or interlocks.
It is the customer's responsibility to provide for single phasing protection. The protection should
protect the customer for the loss of any one, two, or three phases. Ameren recommends using a
negative sequence voltage relay and under voltage relays for this functionality (27 I 47N). This
condition should initiate a transfer to a reserve supply. In addition, the relaying should prevent
transferring to a reserve feeder that is single phasing.
Please refer to the appropriate attachment for additional automatic transfer requirements,
depending on the configuration ofthe installation:
111 Single Supply- Attachment 1

111 Preferred-Reserve Supply- Attachment 2
111 Two-Feeder, Split-Bus Supply- Attachment 3
111 Two-Feeder Preferred, One Feeder Reserve Supply- Attachment 4
7.2 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's)

Amm·en will allow the use ofPLCs for automatic transfer control logic with the following
requirements:
All of the automatic transfer requirements listed above apply to PLC installations.
In automatic mode the circuit breaker close and trip circuits shall be directly controlled by hard-
wired auxiliary contacts of the associated breaker. i.e. hard wired auxiliary contacts from the
main and tie breaker/switch will break up condition that parallels two incoming lines. Software
contacts are not acceptable.

CE-10 1
SERVICE
Sheet
12/14 meren 16 of 41
In manual mode, the control switch contacts for tripping and closing shall be wired directly into
the trip and close circuits of the main and tie circuit breakers. Software contacts are not
acceptable.
A hard-wired breaker auxiliary contact scheme be incorporated that will prevent a long-term
paralleling condition of the incoming supply circuits. Software contacts are not acceptable. If a
time delay in this backup scheme is required, the time delay shall be minimal. The time delay
range and setting must be reviewed and approved by Ameren. The timer shall be a discrete timer
that is not part of the PLC. PLC timer functions are not allowed in this circuit. If a time delay
longer than 1 second is required, contact Ameren for additional relaying requirements.
In the course of its normal operations, Ameren will occasionally have reason to place the
switchgear in manual mode in order to perform switching. Typically this will involve a transfer
of load from one incoming supply to another via temporary parallel operation. Ameren prefers
to restore the initial/normal conditions with the closed transitioning of supplies under automatic
operation. Ameren will place the 43 AIM switch in automatic, and then bring up a red target on
the open main or tie breaker/switch. This shall initiate a closed transition return to normal.
Please explain in detail how this interface will be done.
The PLC shall not lose power at any time as a direct result of automatic transfer switching
operations. This will be confirmed during Ameren's functional test of the switchgear. If an UPS
is used to maintain power to the PLC, it is the customer's responsibility to maintain the batteries
and perform periodic testing. Ameren's experience with these installations has been problematic.
Customer PLCs used for transfer between Ameren and customer generation must be backed up
by an independent hardwired breaker auxiliary contact scheme. The independent hardwired
breaker auxiliary contact scheme prevents and/or breaks up a condition in which the customer
generation is in parallel with the Ameren system. Additional requirements for customer
generation are covered in a separate Ameren specification which the customer must request if
planning to install generation.
8.0 COMMISSIONING TESTS

Ameren will perform a full functional test and inspection of all primary switchgear to verify that
all Ameren requirements have been met prior to switchgear being energized and placed in
service.
Prior to testing the customer shall provide a set of as built drawings to the appropriate Ameren
representative performing the test.

CE-10 1
SERVICE
Sheet
12/14
A switching truth table and/or written operating guide is required to confirm the proper
automatic transfer operation.
The functional test shall consist of a verification of adherence to this document. It will include,
but not be limited to the following checks:
ill Loss of three phase potential to each supply circuit independently

ill Loss of a single phase potential to each supply circuit independently
ill Loss of potential to all supply circuits simultaneously
ill Lockout operation

Re: Generator installation
~
I·
Dear Joe: i
Thank you for contacting Ameren regarding your plans to connect backup generation I
located at 10695 Bellefontaine rd.. The attached documents reflect the process for II
connecting generation that falls under one of two categories: ,,
)> A Category 1 generator only operates when there is an open transition between I
the Ameren electric system and the generator. I.
I
I
~- A Category 2 generator operates with a synchronized closed transition between
the Ameren electric system and the generator for no' more than 100 milliseconds.
Generally, Ameren requires. that customers interconnecting their electric generator to the I
electtic distribution system fund an interconnection study performed by Ameren and then
. enter into an interconnection agreement regarding the design, operation and testing of the
interconnection facilities. However, Ameren will not require generators falling under
one of the two categories above to fund. such a study or enter into an interconnection
agreement, provided the equipment owner ("Customer") abides by the conditionS and
requirements outlined in the following two documents; both attached hereto:
)> Generator Connection Request Form (Section E) -Outlines the requirements

regarding the use, testing and documentation of the generator installation; and
>·· Specifications and Requirements for the Connection of Electric Generation-

Outlines the operating requirements of the generator installation and associated
transfer switch equipment.
In addition, Amere:n. will not impose its standby service tariff on the Customer if the
generator unit is installed for emergency operation and the time duration of the closed
transition is less than 100 milliseconds.
The Customer must submit the documentation required as soon as available. Upon
receiving this information from the Customer, Ameren will review and provide any
applicable comments to the Customer. Comments from Ameren may require
modifications and resubmission of the documentation.

I
[
In order to formally begin the connection process, the Customer must submit the
completed Generator Connection Request Form attached hereto.
We are available to meet either at the generator site or at one of our central or division
offices to discuss your project prior to beginning the application and approval process.
This will allow us to become more familiar with your generation plans and allow you to
present any questions or concerns you may have.

D. Type of Connection !
Customer is proposing to connect generation that falls under the following category: I
i!'
_x_ Category 1 - Open Transition

.· __ Category 2- Synchronized Closed Transition of Less than 0.1 Seconds .
E. Conditions and Required Testing
For Category 1 and 2 generators:
1. Where the associated Ameren service is less than 600V, install a main service
disconnect capable of being padlocked in the open position. Also submit a
drawing indicating the nature and physical location of this equipment or
device. This equipment shall meet Ameren's Specifications and
Requirements for the Connection of Electric Generation attached;
2. Where the associated Ameren service is greater than 600V, install padlockable
equipment capable of establishing a "visible disconnect" between the Ameren
2
system and the generator. A visible disconnect is a switching device that
enables one to physically see an open air gap that is created by either the
disconnect device itself or by its being drawn out from a "seated" or "racked
in" position. Also submit a drawing indicating the nature and physical
location of this equipment or device. This equipment shall meet Ameren's
Specifications and Requirements for the Connection of Electric Generation ::
attached; I.
i
3. Provide signage in the immediate vicinity of Ameren's revenue meter

indicating that a generator exists on the premises and that a lockable main
service disconnect or lockable visible open disconnect is available. Similarly,
i
provide signage at the disconnect device itself for identification purposes;
I
4. Agree not to operate the generator in parallel with Ameren's electric system I·
for purposes of peak shaving, serving normal loads, or testing the capability of
. the generator to carry electric load. Prolonged operation of the generator in t
parallel with the utility electric system when it is de-energized creates a safety
hazard for utility employees, to the point of being potentially fatal.
For Category 2 generators only:
5. If the generator is equipped with "Fast Transfer Capability," i.e. relaying and F
controls that limit the duration of synchronized closed transition between the
generator and Ameren's electric system to less than 100 milliseconds during
startup and shutdown of the unit, the generator must demonstrate, through
equipment supplier information, that the equipment is designed to achieve the
fast transfer in less than 100 milliseconds; ,
6. Demonstrate that the transfer switch complies with all of Ameren's

··Specifications and Requirements for the Connection of Electric Generation,
including the provision for a transfer failure scheme, which will cause the
opening of one of the sources within two (2.0) seconds of the start of the
paralleling condition;
7. Demonstrate that the equipment can achieve the fast transfer by providing an
on-site start-up and commissioning test procedure for the fast transfer
capability of the hardware. Ameren and the customer shall agree on this
procedure as well as on the date and time of the testing. The test procedure
shall:
A. Provide sufficient notice to Ameren of the fast transfer testing in order

to allow Ameren the opportunity to both attend (if desired) and take
any operational or safety precautions deemed necessary (contact
Name of Ameren Contact at Phone Number );
3
B. Test the fast transfer capability per manufacturer's recommendations
and verify that the closed transition transfer takes place within 100
·milliseconds;
C. Test the transfer failure scheme and verify that one of the sources
opens subsequent to an extended paralleling condition of greater than
two (2.0) seconds;
D. Require immediate notification to Ameren of any periods during

testing when the fast transfer equipment is out of service or fails to
achieve transfer in 100 milliseconds, or when the transfer failure
scheme fails to operate properly; and
E. Arrange for the appropriate follow-up testing (and notification to

Ameren) in the case where any part of the original commissioning
procedure couldn't be satisfied.
F. Signature ·
I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge, all the information provided on this
Generator Connection Request Form is true and correct. After the installation and
testing of the generator and upon proper submission or resubmission of the
documentation required by Ameren, I agree to operate the generator in compli~ce
with the conditions stated above.

being drawn out from a "seated" or "racked in" position. Molded case circuit
breakers, solid state switching devices, static transfer switches and switch status
indicators (e.g. lights, operating handle positions, etc.) do not qualify as visible
open disconnects.
· 2. Requirements for all Generation Installations
2.1. Transfer equipment shall be designed and installed to prevent inadvertent

continuous interconnection and operation of the normal and emergency power
sources. This equipment can take many forms depending on the voltage of the
associated Ameren service and whether the installation is designed for open or
closed transition transfer (ref. Sections 3 and 4 below).
·2.2. The transfer switch shall be UL listed and the entire transfer equipment
installation shall be approved by the proper inspection authorities having
jurisdiction and satisfy all applicable building and electrical codes.
2.2.1. If the transfer switch is also being used as the main service disconnect,
the transfer switch shall be UL listed specifically for this purpose per the
specifications in UL Standard 1008 (Transfer Switch Equipment). UL
1008 specifies that such a transfer switch shall be marked "Suitable
[only] for use as service equipment" and shall carry a pressure-sensitive
label marked "Service Disconnect."
2
2.2.2. It is not an Ameren requirement that the transfer equipment be capable
of switching or disconnecting the grounded circuit conductor (neutral),
though there are circumstances in which Ameren will require that an
exception to this be made. Such a determination will be made during
Ameren's review of the customer's plan.
2.3. Per National Electric Code (NBC) requirements, service entrance conductors
and generation supply conductors shall not occupy a common raceway other
than in the transfer equipment.
2.4. If the Ameren service being backed up by the generator is less than 600V, then
the associated main service disconnect device shall be padlockable in the open
position for the safety and protection of Ameren personnel.
2.4.1. A sign shall be permanently installed at the associated revenue metering

location that states, "Backup Generation Present - Lockable Main
Service Disconnect Available for Isolation." The sign shall have
minimum dimensions of5"x 7", be permanently secured with bolts, and
shall be both waterproof and ultraviolet resistant.
2.4.2. A sign shall also be permanently installed at the main service disconnect
device itself stating, "Lockable Main Service Disconnect for Isolation
from Generator" for purposes of identification by Ameren field .
personnel. It shall be similar in size, make and color to the sign at the
revenue meter so that an association can be easily made. All other NEC
and building code requirements around electric facility-related signage
shall be followed. ·
2.4.3. For pre-existing main service disconnects only: If the Ameren service
being backed up is a self-contained metered service (i.e. no metering
.CT' s) and the pre-existirig main service disconnectis unable to be
padlocked in the open position, the self-contained meter, being a "visible
.open disconnect" device (ref. Section 1.6) shall satisfy this requirement.
2.5. If the Ameren service being backed up by the generator is greater than 600V,
then at least one "visible open disconnect" device (ref. Section 1.6) shall be
required for the safety and protection of Ameren personnel.
2.5.1. Each visible open disconnect device shall isolate one or more of the
customer's generating units from the rest of the system. All generating
units shall be associated with at least one of these devices.
2.5.2. The visible open disconnect device shall be accessible to Ameren

personnel at all times. While the device does not have to be under .
Ameren's exclusive control, it shall have provisions for being padlocked
3
in the open position or in the "drawn out" position by Ameren personnel
should the need for temporary electrical isolation present itself.
2.5.3. A sign shall be permanently installed at the associated revenue metering

location that states, "Backup Generation Present- Lockable Visible
Open Disconnect Available for Isolation." The sign shall have
minimum dimensions of 5"x 7", be permanently secured with bolts, and
shall be both waterproof and ultraviolet resistant.
2.5.4. A sign shall also be permanently installed at the visible open disconnect
device itself stating, "Lockable Visible Open Disconnect for Isolation
from Generator" for purposes of identification by Ameren field
personnel. It shall be similar in size, make and color to the sign at the
revenue meter so that an association can be easily made. All other NEC
and building code requirements around electricfacility~related signage
shall be followed. ·
3. Requirements Specific to Open Transition Transfer (Category 1)
3.1. An open transition between the Ameren system and customer generator(s) can
be achieved with any of the following:
3.1.1. An integral transfer switch with mechanical interlocking provisions (e.g.

a double throw configuration, mechanical locking bar, etc.) to prevent
the closing ofboth sources at the same time;
3.1.2. A pair of Kirk key~interlocked disconnect switches or circuit breakers;

or
3.1.3. A pair of circuit breakers with electrical interlocking provisions to

prevent the closing of both sources at the same time, provided that the
interlocking scheme is backed up with hard-wired protection directly
from the breaker auxiliary contacts.
3.2. If the open transition between the Ameren system and customer generator(s) is
being achieved via automatic transfer means, then the following shall apply:
3.2.1. Voltage-sensing capability or other means for detecting the loss and
recovery of the Ameren source shall be required.
3.2.2. A manual "bypass'' (i.e. auto disable) feature is not required, but it is
highly recommended for use in the event of a malfunction in the
automatic transfer between sources in either direction. If this provision
exists, it shall be open transition in nature and mechanically interlocked
(e.g. a double throw configuration, mech~callocking bar, etc.) to
I•
prevent the closing of both sources at the same time. Ifthe bypass
switch is separate from the transfer switch, it shall also be mechanically
interlocked against its being switched to one source while the transfer
switch is switched to the other.
3.2.3. The automatic transfer controller shall be "supervised" by the status of

the transfer switch (and that ofthe bypass switch if it exists) so that if
either switch is manually tripped, automatic control will be disabled.
4. Requirements Specific to Closed Transition Transfer (Category 2)
4.1. A closed transition between the Ameren system and customer generator(s) can
be achieved either with an integral automatic transfer switch set or with two or
more circuit breakers or motor-operated solid blade disconnects.
4.2. Synchronizing capability shall be required in order for the Ameren-provided

source and the customer-provided generation to be safely tied together. All
synchronized transfer times shall be held to less than 100 milliseconds in
duration.
4.3. A transfer failure scheme shall be required that activates when the period of
synchronized closed transition exceeds a set time delay that is no longer than
two (2.0) seconds.
4.3.1. Upon activation, the transfer failure scheme will open one ofthe two
sources being paralleled and lock out the control circuit from any further .
transfer operation.
4.3.2. For cases with a maximum time delay relay range greater than two (2.0)
seconds, Ameren will also require Device 32 (directional power) and
Device 67 (directional overcurrent) relays. These relays shall be of a
.draw-out·type with built-in test devices. Otherwise, external test devices
(such as the ABB FT-1) are required for the isolation of trip contacts and
PT/CT inputs as well as the injection of secondary voltages and currents
during testi£g. .
4.3.3. Ifthe transfer switch has the capability of providing a hard-wired signal
that could trip a device that is separate from the transfer switch
equipment in order to interrupt a paralleling event exceeding 100
milliseconds, the customer shall see to it that this feature is utilized. The
control scheme shall trip the device and then block it from closing. The
time qelay on the trip signal shall not exceed two (2.0) seconds.
4.3.4. If the Ameren service being backed up by the generator is greater than
600V, an additional independent hard-wired breaker auxiliary contact ·
5
scheme may be required to break up extended paralleling of the two
sources. Ameren prefers this type of backup scheme and will only
accept another scheme pending a detailed evaluation.
4.3.5. There shall be no intended or built-in provision for the customer to

disable the transfer failure scheme.
4.4. An undervoltage protection provision shall be required which prevents a closed

transition transfer in the event that the Ameren source is not present.
4.5. In the event of a malfunction in the automatic transfer between sources in either
direction, the transfer switch shall be able to be manually switched to the
desired source.
4.6. A manual "bypass" (i.e. auto disable) feature is not required, but it is highly
recommended for use in the event of a malfunction in the automatic transfer
between sources in either direction. If this provision exists, it shall be open
transition in nature and mechanically interlocked (e.g. a double throw
configuration, mechanical locking bar, etc.) to prevent the closing of both
sources at the same time. If the bypass switch is separate from the transfer
switch, it shall also be mechanically interlocked against its being switched to
one source while the transfer switch is switched to the other .
. . 4.7. The automatic transfer controller shall be "supervised" by the status of the
transfer switch (and that of the bypass switch if it exists) so that if either switch
is manually tripped, automatic control will be disabled.
5. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
5.1. For purposes of establishing the requirements herein, Ameren defines a

programmable logic controller (PLC) as any solid-state microprocessor-based
controller that needs to be programmed by the user with the logic necessary for
it to supervise and execute the control :funcdons for which it is being utilized.
This is separate from a factory-programmed controller whose logic restricts the
system to a single "proprietary" mode of operation, the parameters of which
need merely to be configured by the user. It is understood that the PLC can
exist as a stand.;alone unit or as a permanent component of an integral automatic
transfer switch.
5.2. Ameren will allow the use ofPLCs for automatic transfer control between an
Ameren-provided supply and customer-provided generation with the following
requirements:
5.2.1. A backup control scheme shall be provided to prevent the extended

paralleling operation of the generator with the Ameren system. The
6
backup control shall be completely independent of the PLC. Software
contacts or backup logic are not acceptable.
5.2.2. The backup control shall trip open a device that is separate from the
transfer equipment and block it from closing in the event of extended
parallel operation with the Ameren system.
5.2.3. The PLC and backup control logic shall be enabled when the transfer
scheme is placed in automatic operation and disabled when the transfer
scheme is placed in manual operation.
5.2.4. The automatic transfer switch shall be "supervised'' by the status of the
disconnect switch, circuit breaker or bypass switch controls so that if
any of these switches is manually tripped, the PLC control will disable
automatic transfer. II
5.2.5. The PLC shall not lose power at any time as a direct result of automatic I
[.
transfer switching operations. This shall be confirmed during Ameren's !
functional test of the automatic transfer equipment. I'
I
5.3. There are two preferred methods ofPLC backup control:
I
~
!
5.3.1. The first method is through the use of the hard-wired auxiliary contacts
of the associated breakers. The time delay shall be minimal and
typically no longer than two (2.0) seconds· in duration. The time delay
range and setting shall be reviewed by Ameren.
I
5.3.2. For those cases where the maximum time delay range exceeds two (2.0)
· seconds, Ameren will also require Device 32 (directional power) and
Device 67 (directional overcurrent) relays. These relays shall be of a
f
draw~out type with built-in test devices. Otherwise, external test devices
(such as the ABB FT-1) are required for the isolation of trip contacts and
PT/CT inputs as well as the injection of secondary voltages and currents
· during testing. The maximum time delay shall be absolutely no longer
than thirty (30) seconds in duration.
5.3.3. A second method for PLC backup control (provided a hard-wired

auxiliary contact scheme is not possible) is to install Device 32
(directional power), Device 67 (directional overcurrent) and Device 59N
(neutral overvoltage) relays that are approved by Ameren. The
operation of all these relays shall trip and lock out the generator breaker
or another disconnecting device that isolates the customer generator
from the Ameren source. The Device 59N requires the installation of
grounded wye to open delta potential devices on the delta high side of
the distribution or substation transformer supplying the customer.
-----------· .. --~--~··.
6. Drawing Requirements for Generator Installations
6.1. For generator installations utilizing integral transfer switches enclosed in a

single compartment, the following documentation is required in triplicate:
6.1.1. A one-line diagram is required showing the electrical location ofthe

Ameren source as well as that of the generator, the transfer switch, and if
applicable, the visible open disconnect device inside the customer
facility.
6.1.2. Details on the signage at both the revenue meter and the lockable main
service disconnect or visible open disconnect, including size, wording
and physical location, shall be required.
6.1.3. A manufacturer's cut sheet, operations manual and other specifications

II
are required for the particular transfer switch being installed. Among I
the more critical information therein are the manufacturer's model
number, transfer scheme type (open or closed transition), locking
provisions, interlock details, and if applicable, the time range of closed
I
transition, and details on the auto/manual and manual bypass switches. Il
I
6.1.4 .. Drawings on both the closed transition transfer and transfer failure !
'
schemes are required, which include the time delay setting and
maximum range.
6.2. For generator installations utilizing circuit breakers or disconnect switches

mounted in separate compartments, the following documentation is required in
triplicate:
·6.2.1. A one-line diagram is required showing the electrical location of the

Ameren source as well as that of the generator and associated transfer
switch in the customer facility.
at
6.2.2. Details on the signage both the revenue meter and the lockable main
service disconnect or visible open disconnect, including size, wording
and physical location, shall be required.
6.2.3. Detai.led control·schematics of the main breaker and generator breaker

trip and close control circuits are required. These schematics shall show
all protective relay functions and provide the information necessary to
analyze and document the logic associated with the generator transfer
scheme, transfer failure scheme, interlock controls and any other ·
pertinent control functions.
