Abstract
Methods of operating an automatic transfer switch (ATS) include detecting a first transition of an auxiliary contact set mechanically linked to a switch that selectively couples first and second AC power sources to an output of the ATS, determining a transition duration based on the detected first transition and a first assertion time of a first command for the first transition, identifying a second assertion time based on the determined transition duration, and asserting a second command for a second transition of the switch at the identified second assertion time.
