Automatic Transfer Switch for Town
1 «*"
Pictured above from left to right are George F. Marqus, Dist. Supt. of Commonwealth Edison Co., Bing Benson, Dist. Foreman, and Bob Cotter, Testing Engineer, at the au¬ tomatic transmission light switch installation for the Huntley trans¬ former  station.
Mr. Cotter is seen as he flipped the switch last Tuesday, activating the automatic switching device. The new switch automatically transfers the transformer to an emergency transinisaion line when an outage of electricity occuts on the normal si5>ply line for the village.
Huntley noimally is supplied l^ a line which comes from Marengo, traveling aiaog the north side of itiie raflroad tr^te. In case of a poww failure on dils line, the new switch will  automatlcaUy transfer
within a IC-second period to the fsupplementary Hne which comes from Belvidere and nftts south (rf the Northwestern tracks. When pow¬ er is restored to normal source of current for Huntley the switdi will automatically transfer power back to this line in 10 minutes.
In the past when an outage oc- ciirred on the tranandssion line elec¬ trical service was interrupted to the community of Huntley. The switches had to be operated manually. This entailed Contacting a qualified per¬ son to operate the switdi and on oc¬ casion caused several hours of in- temflitipn of the electrical serv¬ ice.
According to Mr. Mmtnis the new swttdi sliould greatly increase the efficiency of the swrice.
