Reliable electrical power becomes one of the most wanted factor in modern world industry where
operation should be uninterruptible and maximize the cycle of operation, output quality and to avoid
losses and damages. Here we are talking about Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) also known as
Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) panel to cater uninterrupted power supply from Mains or backup
sources like Diesel gen-set, static ups etc.

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

(ATS)?
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is an automated switching device that transfers load power to
backup power during mains failure and back to its original state when mains power reinstate to the
normal condition. It will have its own contacts, microprocessor to analyses the conditions whether
power supply is normal or backup and need backup or mains power. Here "back up power" may
become either Standby generator or another mains power or static power source like UPS.

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCHES (ATS) OR

AUTOMATIC MAINS FAILURE (AMF) PANEL
Provide and install automatic transfer & bypass-isolation switch (ATS / BPS) system(s) with number
of poles, current rating, voltage, withstand and close-on ratings as required by the system. Each
automatic transfer shall consist of an inherently double throw power transfer switch mechanism and
a microprocessor controller to provide automatic operation. All automatic transfer & bypass-isolation
switches and controllers shall be the products of the same manufacturer. These switches shall be
separate cubicle mounted and located as shown on the relevant drawing. Coordinate with the
requirements of the rating as shown on the LV schematics.

Coordinate the incoming and outgoing maximum ampere ratings required to serve the load, complete
with the following features and characteristics. Provide necessary equipment and interconnection
wiring to ensure proper functioning of controls in accomplishing the sequence of operation outlined
herein and with the transfer switch accessories outlined. Note change over ACB / MCCB shall not be
accepted.

INCLUDED COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS

WITH ATS / AMF
1. Full Relay Protection for 3-Ph, 4-wire System. Transfer to emergency source when voltage on
any phase drops to 70 percent or less. Re-transfer to normal when all phase voltages are 90
percent or more.
2. Adjustable time delay on generator start sequence, 10 seconds maximum, in all second
intervals.
3. Adjustable time delay on automatic transfer to normal, 15 to 30 minutes in 1 minute intervals. If
the emergency source fails and power is available from the normal source, the time delay shall
be defeated and the transfer operation immediately initiated.
4. Two normally open and two normally closed auxiliary contacts on main shaft.
5. Mounted pilot light to indicate switch in normal position.
6. Mounted pilot light to indicate switch in emergency position.
7. Engine Starting Contacts.
8. Test switch and necessary equipment for remote test switch.
9. Under-frequency Relay.
10. Other Controls as necessary for the smooth automatic function of the system.

SWITCHED NEUTRAL CONTACTS

The neutral of the normal and emergency power sources (/tags/emergency-power) shall be switched
through a fourth pole of the transfer switch which shall be non-overlapping (break before make) and
shall operate with the main poles of the switch.

IN-PHASE MONITOR CONTROL

The transfer switch shall include an in phase monitor to protect against abnormal inrush currents,
which may result from out-of-phase transfer of motor loads. The monitor shall initiate operation of the
transfer switch when the remote or local push-button is actuated and the phase angle between both
sources is approaching zero phase angle. The motor currents upon re-connection shall not exceed
normal starting values. In-phase transfer shall be provided in either direction whenever both power
sources are above 70% of nominal voltage.

The in-phase monitor shall incorporate silicon semiconductor control logic and an industrial grade
output relay, rated for operation of the transfer switch. The in-phase monitor shall be automatic
transfer switch.

SEQUENCE OF ATS / AMF OPERATION

1. The transfer switch shall be interlocked to provide the operation speci ed herein. ln addition to
those speci ed herein, all relays and sensing devices shall be provided to accomplish the
functions.
2. When normal power fails on the transfer switch (adjustable time delay relay set at 1 to 2
seconds) the engine-generator starting sequence shall be initiated.

1. When emergency power is available at the transfer

switch that indicates failure of normal power, the
transfer switch shall transfer without delay. Voltage and
frequency relay settings as required.
2. The ATS/BPS shall be tested in accordance with BSEN-
6-497-6-1 and be labelled accordingly. Type test
certi cates from a recognised test laboratory shall be
provided.

TESTS AND CERTIFICATION

The complete ATS / BPS shall be factory tested to ensure proper operation of the individual
components and correct overall sequence of operation and to ensure that the operating transfer time,
voltage, frequency and time delay settings are in compliance with the speci cation requirements.
Upon request, the manufacturer shall provide factory test certi cates certifying compliance with all of
the requirements of this speci cation including compliance with the above codes and standards, and
withstand and closing ratings. The certi cation shall identify, by serial number(s), the equipment
involved. No exceptions to the speci cations, other than those stipulated at the time of the submittal,
shall be included in the certi cation.

The ATS / BPS manufacturer shall be certi ed to ISO 9001 international Quality Standard and the
manufacturer shall have third party certi cation verifying quality assurance in design / development,
production, installation and servicing in accordance with ISO 9001.

SERVICE REPRESENTATION
The ATS / BPS manufacturer shall maintain a national service organization of company- employed
personnel located throughout the country. The service center's personnel must be factory trained and
must be on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The manufacturer shall maintain records of each
switch, by serial number, for a minimum of 20 years.

MONITORING AND CONTROLS OF ATS / AMF

Provide monitoring / recording instruments and meters as required by BMS. Install in each
switchboard and control panel all necessary transducers, current transformers, sensors and other
accessories required for remote control and operation by the local control network and the BMS.

The switchboard manufacturer shall allow su cient space and accessibility for such equipment and
also provide wiring and terminals su cient in number and adequate capacity for the eld wiring.
