Transfer Switch &Circuit Breakers

An automatic transfer switch is designed for connecting a critical load between 2 dissimilar power sources (that can be up to 180 degrees out of phase) when either source is not acceptable.

A circuit breaker’s designed function is to disconnect the circuit (conductors) and the load from the power source under overcurrent conditions.

Transfer CategoriesTransfer Categories All transfers can be placed in one of two categories

Transfer between two “live” sources

test transfer

re-transfer to normal

Transfer from a “dead” source to a “live” source

occurs as a result of a source failure

how dead is dead?

These categories apply regardless of the type of switching used

if transfer is between two live sources, an arc is formed

if transfer is from a dead source, load is disconnected

Benefits of Connectivity ModuleBenefits of Connectivity Module Total No. of devices per LAN will not be limited to 32.

Therefore the number of dedicated LAN’s will be reduced.

Remote monitoring of transfer switches and other devices.

Ethernet is the “de-facto” standard for local and wide area network

Computers come with Ethernet built-in. Therefore no need for Serial Card setup.

Many different types of Device/Application protocols at different serial baud rates can be brought on one Ethernet wire for example: ASCO I, II and Modbus at different baud rates, 2 wire or 4 wire devices will be connected to a single “Ethernet LAN.”

Potential savings for building owners for huge wiring costs.

Standard commercially available LAN/WAN diagnostics tools will be utilized for troubleshooting.

Ethernet LANs can be extended to miles with commercially available Ethernet repeaters and fiber cables.
