o (A) It will automatically start and automatically supply power to the 450 VAC section of the mainbus through the automatic bus transfer device.

• (B) It will automatically start and automatically supply power to the 450 VAC section of theemergency bus through the automatic bus transfer device.

o (C) It will automatically start but the automatic bus transfer device must be manually shifted to"Emergency Power" to supply the 450 VAC section of the emergency bus.

o (D) It must be manually started but once running will automatically supply power to the 450 VACsection of the emergency bus through the automatic bus transfer device.

If choice B is selected set score to 1.
