Wiring Method of Automatic Transfer Switch

Single-mother segmentation method

The simplified wiring diagram of single busbar sectional connection is shown in Figure 1. Incoming lines 1 and 2 can be power supply equipment such as transmission lines, main transformers and line-transformer units.
Under normal operating conditions, Bus 1 is powered by Incoming Line 1 and Bus 2 by Incoming Line 2. Switches K1 and K2 stay closed while bus tie switch K0 remains open. The device will switch over to the alternate power supply once either incoming power fails.

Single-mother household

The wiring diagram of single busbar operation mode is shown in Figure 2.
In normal operation, the busbar is powered by either incoming line 1 or line 2. When powered by line 1, switch K1 closes and K2 opens, with line 2 acting as standby power supply. The device will start quickly and switch to line 2 power once line 1 power fails due to faults. The same logic applies when line 2 serves as the main power source.

FAQ

Q:What equipment is the generator automatic transfer switch mainly applied to, and what are its features?

A:

Applicable Equipment

This ATS automatic transfer switch is mainly applied to busbar, station service and standby power systems in industrial plants, and power stations.

Core Features

Instantly switch standby power to guarantee uninterrupted power supply for loads.
Multiple startup & switching modes fit various main wiring configurations.
High anti-interference performance and stable operation under harsh industrial conditions.
Comprehensive interlock protection avoids misoperation and fault spread.

Q: What is an Auxiliary Power Fast Transfer Device?

A: It is a protection & control unit for plant auxiliary power system. When working power supply fails, it rapidly switches to standby power source within milliseconds to avoid motor stall and load power loss.

Q: What core purpose does it serve?

A: Prevent auxiliary equipment such as pumps, fans and compressors from out-of-operation due to power interruption, guarantee unit safe operation and avoid equipment damage or unit trip.

Q: What main transfer modes are supported?

A:

  1. Sequential transfer: Trigger switching after fault detection.
  2. Simultaneous transfer: Cut off faulty inlet and close standby inlet at almost the same time.
  3. Residual voltage transfer: Switch based on residual voltage of lost busbar.
  4. Manual forced transfer: On-site manual switching for maintenance.

Q: What is undisturbed transfer?

A: Switch action completes before busbar voltage and phase angle deviate excessively. Loads keep continuous power supply without obvious fluctuation, which is called undisturbed fast transfer.

Q: Where is this device commonly applied?

A: Thermal power plants, hydropower stations, nuclear power auxiliary power system, large substation station service system, chemical & metallurgy factory important dual-power busbars.

Q: How to set transfer action time?

A: Typical total switching time ≤100ms. The setting must coordinate with upstream protection to ensure transfer finishes before backup protection trips loads.

Q: Under which conditions will transfer be blocked?

A: Busbar short-circuit fault, standby power supply abnormal, PT break, overcurrent interlock signal, manual lockout status.

Q: What signals does it upload to upper system?

A: Transfer action report, fault cause, switching mode, device self-diagnosis alarm, SOE sequence of events. It supports IEC104, Modbus and other protocols to connect with SCADA.

Q: Device fails to start transfer upon power loss

A: Check voltage transformer wiring, loss-of-power logic setting, standby supply interlock condition and blocking signals.

Q: Transfer action is too slow or transfer fails

A: Verify breaker tripping/closing loop circuit, check breaker mechanical action speed and device parameter threshold.

Q: False accidental transfer without power fault

A: Eliminate PT loop interference, check wiring grounding, adjust voltage threshold and anti-jitter delay parameters.

Q: Can it record fault data?

A: Yes. It records action waveform, event sequence and switching process data for post-fault analysis.

Q: Regular maintenance items

A: Annual function simulation test; inspect secondary wiring and control loop; back up parameter configuration; check breaker linkage performance periodically.
