FAQ
Q:What equipment is the generator automatic transfer switch mainly applied to, and what are its features?
A:
Applicable Equipment
Core Features
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:
- Sequential transfer: Trigger switching after fault detection.
- Simultaneous transfer: Cut off faulty inlet and close standby inlet at almost the same time.
- Residual voltage transfer: Switch based on residual voltage of lost busbar.
- 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.
