ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch Panel)
The ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) panel is an important component in an automatic power switching system. This panel is used to regulate the flow of electricity between the main source and a backup source, such as a generator set or battery.
The ATS panel consists of several important components such as main switches, backup switches, safety switches and logic controls. The main switch is used to connect or disconnect electricity from the main source, while the backup switch performs the same function with the backup source.The ATS panel has several important functions in an automatic power switching system.
Following are some of the main functions of the ATS control panel: The ATS panel has several important functions in an automatic power switching system. Following are some of the main functions of the ATS control panel:-
1. Main Electrical Replacement:-
One of the main functions of the ATS panel is to replace main electricity. When the ATS panel detects a failure or disruption to the main power source, such as a power outage, the ATS panel automatically takes control and diverts the electricity flow to a backup source, such as a generator.
2. Make the Generator Turn on Automatically When the primary power supply fails, the ATS panel can also be used to automatically start the generator. When the primary power source is detected to be off by the ATS panel, the logic control will unquestionably issue a command to start the generator
3. Meet System Requirements Apart from the main functions above, ATS panels can also have another additional functions tailored to specific system needs. For example, the ATS panel can be equipped with temperature, pressure or fuel level monitoring features on the generator
4. Synchronization Some ATS panels include synchronization capabilities as well. Before switching the electrical flow, the ATS panel can use this feature to synchronize the frequency and voltage between the primary source and backup source.
5. Load Controller The ATS panel can function as a load controller that allows setting power supply priorities for different loads. For example, in situations where power supplies are limited, ATS panels can be programmed to preemptively divert power to critical or critical loads, such as security systems or medical equipment.
