Zusammenfassung:	An interlock assembly (90) for a bypass isolation open or closed transition ATS assembly (10) is disclosed. The interlock assembly (90) ensures that a switch assembly (14, 16) being worked upon and/or being inserted is in a neutral configuration, i.e. the switch assembly (14, 16) is not engaging a power source. The interlock assembly (90) is, preferably, an electrical interlock having a control system (18) structured to configure the switch assemblies (14, 16) and to monitor the configuration of the switch assemblies (14, 16). That is, the switch assemblies (14, 16) each include a power operated, conductive, movable contact arm (30, 60). The position of each contact arm (30, 60) is controlled, and monitored by, the control system (18) which controls the single actuator for each contact arm (30, 60).
