SYNOPSIS

The Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) and Generator Controllers work in hand to provide continuity of essential electrical supply to an installation.  The course seeks to provide an understanding on the selection of an ATS for an electrical system, and discusses the design of generator supply applications including the AMF and Autosync, ATS and Auto Changeover applications and remote monitoring of generator controller with cloud monitoring systems.

The first part of the course looks into the MS IEC 60947-6-1 for automatic transfer switching equipment (ATSE), covering the following:
1) MS IEC60947-6-1 for ATSE
a. Short circuit withstand of ATS
b. Category utilization - AC31/33 in "A" or "B"
c. Different Classes of ATS - CB, PC & CC

2) The functionality and application for different types of Automatic Transfer Switch. Types of Automatic Transfer Switches available for different applications such as :-
a. Standard Transfer : Open Type - Simple transfer system for small load
b. Closed Transition Transfer : Overlap Type - For continuity of power supply to load without interruption
c. Delay Transfer with “OFF” position : Open Type - The “OFF” position is important when transferring large motor load. This is to allow the magnetic field to “decay” before transfer to prevent back EMF generated by the motor which can trip the CB or blow the fuses.
d. High Speed Transfer less than 20 ms : Open Type - Introducing High speed transfer for loads such as electronic equipment without interruption. Comply to SEMI-F47, ITIC – Voltage / depth duration curve.

3) As required in MS IEC, together with the Smart ATS Controller, these Automatic Transfer Switches function well without much complications. The ATS Smart controller has functions for voltage, frequency and timer settings for various types for application. Engine start / stop and other functions are also available from these Smart Controllers.

4) A comparison against other types of change-over devices for use as ATS.

The second part of the course evaluates the types of generator controllers and ATS systems and covers the discussions on the following:
1) Conventional ATS and Generator controllers with hard wiring, relays and timer control systems
2) Advantages of microprocessor based controllers
3) Generator systems and the design of its control systems
    a. AMF, Peak Load Shaving, Auto Synchroniser, Bus Tie etc
4) ATS & Auto Changeover systems
    a. Advantages of microprocessor based ATS & Auto Changeover systems.
    b. Automated control system for two ACB (Open Transition/Close Transition)
    c. Automated control system for two incomer and Bus Tie system
    d. Automated control system for two incomers, bus tie and generator systems.
5) Remote monitoring of generators
    a. Internet of Things. IOT application.
    b.    Ability to locate, control and observe generator operation remotely.
