The "Brain" of the ATS is the controller. In a Cummins ATS, the controller monitors the voltage and frequency of the utility supply. When the utility voltage drops below a preset threshold (usually 80-85% of nominal) for a specific duration, the controller initiates a start signal to the generator. Cummins Ats Wiring Diagram

In the world of standby power generation, reliability is not a preference—it is a necessity. For facility managers, electricians, and technicians, the peace of mind provided by a Cummins generator is undeniable. However, a generator is only as reliable as the system that tells it when to turn on. That system is the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS).
A provides the roadmap to avoid these catastrophic errors.
Always remember: Wire the main lugs (Utility and Generator) before attaching the low-voltage sense wires. When in doubt, consult a licensed electrician with Cummins transfer switch experience. An incorrectly wired ATS will not just fail to transfer; it can back-feed the utility grid, endangering line workers and destroying your generator.
