Abstract
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) is described that includes a multi-structure of relays that together provide proper spacing, within the ATS, between a first power feed and a second power feed. A monitor circuit is also described that monitors output ports of relays in the first stage of the multi-stage structure and detects that there is or is not proper spacing between the first power feed and the second power feed, within the ATS.
