5.11.5 Voltage and Frequency Pickup
and Dropout Settings
The controller senses the voltage on both sources with
an accuracy of ±0.5%. A source is considered
available when its voltage and frequency are within the
range of dropout settings. The debounce time prevents
nuisance transfers caused by brief voltage spikes and
dips. If the voltage or frequency of the active source is
outside the acceptable range for a length of time longer
than the debounce time, the system attempts to transfer
the load to the alternate source.
See Figure 5-15 for default settings and adjustment
ranges.
