A large machinery and equipment factory in Lebanon expressed to us the need for efficient management and stable operation of the power system to ensure that the factory's machinery and equipment will not stop suddenly due to power outages. Guozhiyun customized an ATS (automatic transfer switch) control cabinet for them to provide critical power protection.
When the main power supply fluctuates or fails, the Guozhiyun ATS control cabinet can automatically switch to the backup power supply at the fastest switching speed. After switching to the backup power supply, the ATS control cabinet continues to monitor and manage the backup power supply. It will adjust the load appropriately according to the capacity and characteristics of the backup power supply. If the backup power supply capacity is relatively small, the power supply to some non-critical equipment may be temporarily restricted to ensure the normal operation of critical production equipment. This fast and smooth switching capability effectively avoids the huge losses that may be caused by production interruptions, such as equipment damage, production schedule delays, and waste of raw materials.
The generator ATS cabinet is a control cabinet for automatic transfer switchgear, which is used to realize automatic switching between diesel generator sets and mains power, ensuring that critical loads can continue to operate stably when power is interrupted.
1.composition：
Control components and circuit breakers: ATS automatic switching cabinet consists of control components and circuit breakers, which can be manually or automatically controlled to switch on and off for power supply.
PC-level and CB-level switch bodies: Switch bodies are divided into PC-level (integrated type) and CB-level (circuit breaker type). PC-level has a simple structure, small size, and fast switching function, but needs to be equipped with a short-circuit protection device; while CB-level is equipped with an overcurrent release and has a short-circuit protection function.
Controller: The controller detects the working status of the monitored power supply and issues action instructions when a fault occurs to achieve automatic power switching.
2.Function：
Fully automatic switching: ATS cabinet can realize fully automatic switching between mains power and generator sets, ensuring the continuity and reliability of power supply.
Delay function: The system has a variety of delay functions, including mains power recovery delay, mains power failure confirmation delay, etc., to ensure the stability of the power supply system.
Remote control, telemetry and telesignaling: Modern ATS cabinets can realize the remote control, telemetry and telesignaling functions of dual power supply switching, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation.
3.Applications：
Important power-consuming places: ATS cabinets are particularly important in places with strict requirements on power supply, such as hospitals, data centers, industrial production lines, etc., to avoid losses caused by power outages.
Unattended operation: ATS cabinet can realize unattended operation, automatically handle power switching, and reduce manual intervention and maintenance costs.
The generator ATS cabinet provides reliable power protection for key facilities through its advanced automatic control system and multiple protection mechanisms. When selecting and using the ATS cabinet, our company will fully consider its technical parameters, performance characteristics and maintenance requirements to ensure the efficient operation of the power system.
The working principle of the ATS control cabinet is to monitor the status of two power supplies, usually including main power supply (such as mains power) and backup power supply (such as generator). When the main power supply is normal, the ATS cabinet connects the load to the main power supply; once the main power supply is interrupted or fails, the ATS cabinet automatically switches the load to the backup power supply to ensure the continuity and reliability of power supply. When the main power supply returns to normal, the ATS cabinet will automatically switch the load back to the main power supply and stop the backup power supply.
The main components of the ATS cabinet include control components and circuit breakers, which can achieve fast and smooth power conversion and avoid power interruption caused by power switching. This kind of equipment is particularly important in power systems with strict requirements on power interruption, such as critical facilities such as hospitals and data centers, because these places require uninterrupted power supply to ensure normal operation and safety.
The ATS cabinet is simple in design and easy to operate, and can realize unattended automatic switching function. Depending on the application requirements, ATS cabinets can also be equipped with manual operation options to allow for human intervention in special circumstances. In addition, to ensure safe and reliable operation, ATS cabinets are usually equipped with short-circuit protection devices and other safety features.
The function of the control cabinet：
The main function of the control cabinet is to achieve centralized control and management of the power system or mechanical equipment.
1.PLC control cabinet：
PLC control cabinet is a type of control cabinet that uses programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to control motors and switches.
2.ATS control cabinet：
also known as automatic transfer switching equipment control cabinet, is mainly used in emergency power supply systems.
3.Variable frequency control cabinet:
The variable frequency control cabinet is mainly used to adjust the working frequency of equipment, reduce energy loss, and can smoothly start the equipment, reducing the damage to the motor caused by the large current generated when the equipment is directly started.
4.Soft start control panel
The motor soft start control cabinet is a type of motor control device that can achieve smooth and impactless starting of the motor throughout the entire starting process. It can also adjust the parameters during the starting process, such as current limit value and starting time, according to the characteristics of the motor load.
5.Motor control cabinet
Motor control cabinet is an electrical equipment specifically designed to control the operation of motors. Its main function is to control the starting, stopping, turning, and speed operations of the motor. At the same time, the motor control cabinet can also achieve protection for the motor, avoiding abnormal situations such as overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, or short circuit that may cause motor damage.
