Abstract
A method for performing recloser operations at a transfer switch includes obtaining an input from a first sensor measuring characteristics at an electrical conductor connecting a main power source to a load, comparing the input to one or more thresholds, cycling a first switch between an OFF and ON position for one or more cycles, determining the input exceeds the one or more thresholds when the first switch is cycled ON, and connecting the load to the main power source with the first switch in response to the input being within the one or more thresholds, or connecting the load to a second power source with a second switch in response to determining the input exceeds the one or more thresholds after the one or more cycles. The input may include a source voltage and the one or more thresholds may include an upper and lower voltage threshold.
