Patent ID: 11239692

Abstract:
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) utilizing molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) or molded case switches (MCS) to connect and disconnect an electrical load to a Normal power source and a Standby power source. The ATS comprising two MCCB or MCS mounted back-to-back one connected to a Normal power source and the other to a Standby power source. Bus bars electrically connect the poles on the load side of the MCCB or MCS connecting the ATS to a load. A rotating cam drive mechanism drives Toggle Levers with attached stored energy opening springs toggles to open and close the MCCB or MCS through the leverage of fulcrum points. A ratchet mounted on the output shaft of a unidirectional gear motor rotates the cam drive mechanism. An interlock bar prevents both MCCB from closing at the same time.
