Manual Changeover With Voltage Interruption

Slow Changeover

Fast Changeover

Slow Changeover
Not fault level rising Decay of residual voltage of motors connected to the bus to sufficiently (about 20 per cent of the rated voltage) Starting current inrush, heavy voltage drop Pre-selected number of non-essential auxiliary motors (less than 15% drop voltage )

Fast Changeover
Before residual motor voltage vector has fallen Motor speed dropped down only marginally Only a small rise of current Phase Comparison Relay

Automatic Bus Transfer

Under Fault Condition (Voltage Drop) Automatic Changeover with Voltage Interruption

ATS
The reduction of the voltage below a preselected value and after a pre selected time period the affected incoming breaker will trip. After the breaker has disconnected the main the bus-tie breaker will close. This operation will not take place if the incomer was tripped by any future protection device.

Return to Normal Operation (Re-Transfer)

It shall be manually. Re-closing of either incoming breaker results in momentary parallel switching of the main, followed by manually opening of the bus-tie breaker. Manually opening the bus tie breaker, followed by manually closing the incoming.
