Abstract
An example system for controlling a transfer switch includes a power modulation circuit and a control module. When the power modulation circuit is coupled to a solenoid of a transfer switch, a first power supply, and a second power supply, the control module is configured to perform functions. The functions include sensing one or more operating conditions of the system and using the one or more operating conditions of the system as a basis to determine one or more control parameters. The functions also include controlling, according to the one or more control parameters, the power modulation circuit to cause the second power supply to provide a current through the solenoid, thereby operating the transfer switch to discontinue a conductive path between a load and the first power supply and create a conductive path between the load and the second power supply.
