In today’s highly working era, the demand for electricity and the stability of power supply are increasing day by day. In the field of power system power supply, due to the invention of Automatic Transfer Switches, power outages no longer cause serious harm to production. The same is true for places such as hospitals, office buildings, airports, MRT and high-speed rail stations, communication systems and military facilities.
To enhance the reliability of power supply in the distribution system and shorten the power interruption time and restoration time due to power outages caused by accidents, more and more designs in today’s distribution systems have adopted automatic conversion systems that control the switching between “normal/emergency” power sources. For this reason, this article will introduce and discuss the new technologies and related applications of automatic transfer switches.
Commonly used generator sets, generally speaking, need to maintain a certain power when working for more than 12 hours. Such diesel generator sets have relatively high requirements for the power part, and usually Cummins, Shangchai and other diesel engines are selected as the power source.
When some diesel generator sets need to operate continuously for a certain period of time or frequently for a long time to serve as the common power supply for electrical loads, such generator sets are called common generator sets. Commonly used generator sets can be used as both regular and standby units. In towns, islands, forest farms, mines, oil fields and other areas or industrial and mining enterprises far from the main power grid, diesel generators need to be installed to supply electricity for local residents’ production and daily life. Such generator sets should operate continuously on a regular basis.
Important facilities such as national defense projects, communication hubs, radio stations, and microwave relay stations should be equipped with backup diesel generator sets. The electricity for such facilities can be supplied by the municipal power grid on a regular basis. However, in the event that the municipal power grid is damaged and power is cut off due to other natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, wars, or human factors, the standby generating units that have been set up should be started up promptly and operate continuously for a long time without interruption to ensure the continuous power supply to the power loads of these important projects. Such standby generating units also belong to the commonly used type of generating units. The continuous working time of commonly used generator sets is long, and the load curve varies greatly. The selection of unit capacity, number, type and the operation control mode of the units are different from those of emergency units.
