Automatic switching of surplus power storage

What is an automatic transfer switch?

Automatic Transfer Switches are the workhorses that ensure maximal power system uptime. Dur-ing a supply interruption in the dat center, the ATS selects a backup power source to provide longer-lasting reserve power.Brief inter

What is an automatic transfer switch (ATS) in a data center?

ities is impossible without ATS solutions.Automatic Transfer Switching in Data CentersAn Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is a device that automatically switches electrical loads from a prima y power source to a secondary one (like a generator) if the primary power source fails. As part of a data center’s backup power s

Why is automatic switchover not using GPIO signal?

This application note introduces automatic switchover design not using GPIO(General Purpose Input Output) signal from MCU (Micro Controller Unit) for increasing battery run time. This is a requirement for applications using solar cell or variable source as main power and battery as backup power.

Why should you choose ABB for your transfer switch solution?

mply keep the lights on, ABB is your “one-stop shop” for transfer switch solutions.Thanks to our breakthroughs in transfer switch technology and the recent addition of Zenith ZTG and ZTS products, ABB can now offer one of the world’s most comprehensive and advanced transfer switch solution por

What is a normal switchover time?

So normal switchover time is 100 μs. The amount of voltage drop on the output is dependent on the output load current (IOUT), and the load capacitance (COUT). The minimum output voltage (VOUT,MIN) during switchover can be found VOUT,MIN using the following equations: Figure 2-5.

Why does my Vout need a backup power source?

Main power needs to source the VOUT while it is above the backup power. However, main power can fall below backup power due to weather conditions. If the main power is low, then the system needs to switchover to a backup power source without interrupting normal operation.
