DOES AN ATS PROVIDE UNINTERRUPTED POWER?

DOES AN ATS PROVIDE UNINTERRUPTED POWER?

No. An ATS transfers between sources, but a generator must start and reach operating conditions before it can accept load.

CONTROL STRATEGY / 02

AGREE HOW THE POWER SYSTEM SHOULD RESPOND

AGREE HOW THE POWER SYSTEM SHOULD RESPOND

Define what should happen when the normal supply fails, which loads must transfer and how the site returns to normal operation.

AUTOMATIC CHANGEOVER

ATS PANELS FOR STANDBY GENERATION

An automatic transfer switch controls transfer between power sources. It does not by itself create uninterrupted power, so the permitted interruption and sequence must be agreed.

SYNCHRONISED SYSTEMS

Coordinate multiple generating sets and the electrical distribution around the intended operating sequence and load sharing strategy.

BMS AND REMOTE SIGNALS

Identify the statuses, alarms and commands required by the wider monitoring system at design stage.

BYPASS AND MAINTENANCE

Consider maintenance bypass arrangements and safe access where operational continuity and servicing requirements demand them.

What does an Automatic Transfer Switch do?

What does an Automatic Transfer Switch do?

An ATS monitors the normal supply and transfers the connected load to the generator when defined failure conditions occur, then returns it when the normal supply is restored.

Can generators run in parallel?

Can generators run in parallel?

Yes. Synchronising controls can coordinate multiple generators and, where required, interface with the mains supply. The protection and operating philosophy must be defined carefully.
