There are certain systems and places like data centers and medical hospitals which cannot afford to go for even one second without electricity and need an uninterrupted power supply. Moreover, these units cannot be played havoc with due to electrical issues like low voltage, power surges, spikes, low frequency, etc. However, all these issues can be taken care of easily by installing an automatic changeovers switch with your backup emergency power source.
In scenarios, if a power outage, these automatic transfer switches can automatically shift load circuits to and from the power source in a sage manner and ensure continuous power supply with minimal to no outage. They do not require any human intervention. Acting like voltage monitors, they work almost similar to a thermostat to regulate incoming power and immediately turns up the backup power supply whenever the power falls below the pre-specified value by the user. They can be used for various switches like –
- One generator to another – This type is used in systems where multiple power generators are used to generate backup power supply.
- Utility power to a generator – These are used in facilities that have a utility source as well as an incoming power source and require generators for backup only.
- Utility power to another power – This type of switches is used in systems which have utility feeds on both ends. Such systems can also work quite comfortably in manual switches as well.
- A three-way system – Such a system has two utility sources and one backup generator. These systems are used in extra sensitive areas like jail and military base. These are also known as dual systems.
You can pick the one that best suits your requirements and your budget.
