automatic transfer switch for gasoline and diesel generators

Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is an automation device used in genset systems for gasoline and diesel generator sets. It is capable of automatically activating a standby generator supply in the event of utility failure or blackout, and automatically switching back to the utility supply when utility power is restored.

Description

The core function of ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) is to realize the automatic switching of power supply, ensuring continuous power for important equipment or facilities. Widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial occasions, ATS guarantees stable and reliable power delivery.

Features of automatic transfer switch:

  1. Automation control: ATS integrates advanced digital, intelligent, and network technology, and can automatically perform switching tasks according to power demand. When utility power is interrupted, ATS automatically starts the backup generator; when utility power is restored, it automatically stops the generator and switches back to utility power.
  2. Remote monitoring and alarm function: Equipped with an intelligent controller, ATS can monitor system status in real time and provide alarm protection. Users can obtain real-time information remotely through the network even in unattended scenarios.
  3. Energy saving and economy: The built-in automatic throttle protection adjusts engine running state according to load size, avoiding excessive fuel consumption, making it both economical and environmentally friendly.
  4. Unattended operation: Automated control reduces manual intervention and labor costs, improving system safety and reliability.
  5. Fast response: ATS completes the switch quickly during utility power failure, ensuring important equipment is not affected by interruptions.

Working principle of automatic transfer switch:

ATS detects the voltage status of utility power in real time. When a utility power failure occurs, ATS automatically switches to the backup generator, sending a start signal and connecting it to the power load. When utility power is restored and stable, ATS switches back and shuts down the generator.

  1. Start and stop: ATS automates the start and stop of the generator during power interruptions. Once power returns to normal, it shuts down the generator and restores utility supply.
  2. Load regulation: The internal throttle regulation device adjusts the generator throttle according to load, ensuring efficient operation and energy savings.
  3. Alarm protection: The built-in intelligent monitoring and alarm system detects generator status in real time. In case of abnormality, such as generator failure or power fluctuations, ATS triggers an alarm for inspection and maintenance.

Application areas of automatic transfer switch:

  1. Residential application: Ensures essential home equipment (refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.) remain powered during outages.
  2. Commercial applications: Keeps critical systems (servers, monitoring, office equipment) running in offices and commercial buildings. Can be integrated with building automation for remote monitoring.
  3. Industrial and Manufacturing: Prevents production stoppages and equipment damage in factories by automating backup power switching.
  4. Data Centers: Ensures seamless switching to backup power, avoiding data loss and equipment failure.
  5. Medical Facilities: Guarantees uninterrupted power for life support and critical medical equipment by activating standby generators automatically.
