Automatic Transfer Switch
(ATS)

Automatic Transfer Switch Panel | Power Control & Automatic Source Transfer Panel

Specialized design and manufacturing of ATS panels for fast and safe transfer of electrical loads between two or more power sources, such as the grid, generators, and other emergency sources.
From engineering and design to the selection of transfer equipment, power switches, control circuits, protection, control, wiring, testing, and commissioning, tailored to the requirements of each project.




What is an ATS Panel?

Automatic Transfer Switch

An ATS or
Automatic Transfer Switch Panel
is designed for the automatic transfer of electrical loads between two or more power sources. This panel is typically used in systems where continuity of power supply and the availability of energy for sensitive loads are of high importance.

In a typical ATS system, the main source, such as the grid, is continuously monitored. In the event of a power outage, voltage drop, or if source parameters fall outside the allowed range, a command is issued to transfer the load to a backup source, such as a generator.

After the main source returns and stabilizes, the system can, based on the defined control logic, transfer the load back to the main source and prepare the backup source for shutdown or cooling. This process is carried out based on the system design and the equipment used.

Key Tasks of ATS Panels

Automatic Load Transfer

Automatic transfer of load from the main source to the backup source under defined conditions.

Power Source Monitoring

Monitoring source status and parameters to detect conditions suitable for load transfer.

Prevention of Simultaneous Connection

Using interlocks and control logic to prevent unintended connection of sources to each other.

Automatic Return to Main Source

Re-transferring the load to the main source after it returns and stabilizes, according to system settings.



Advantages of Using ATS Panels

Using an automatic transfer switch panel ensures continuity of power supply to critical loads and automatic management of power sources in relevant applications.

Power Continuity

Helping to maintain the supply of critical loads by automatically transferring between power sources.

Increased Safety

Using interlocks, protection, and control logic for safe source management.

Reduced Transfer Time

Executing the transfer process without the need for manual intervention under defined conditions.

Automatic Source Management

Automatic control of main and backup sources and management of the load transfer process.



Main Components of ATS Panels

Panel equipment is selected based on load current, source type, generator capacity, grid conditions, transfer type, and project requirements.

Transfer Switch

The main load transfer equipment which can include motorized power switches or a dedicated Transfer Switch based on the design.

Power Circuit Breakers

Using ACB, MCCB, or other switching equipment compatible with system current and short-circuit levels.

ATS Controller

Intelligent controller for monitoring sources, detecting power status, and executing load transfer and return logic.

Interlock System

Mechanical and electrical interlocks to prevent simultaneous and unintended connection of power sources.

Protection Equipment

Protection against overcurrent, short circuit, and other protections required based on system design.

Generator Control

Capability to send Start/Stop commands to the generator and receive status signals as needed, per design.

Measurement System

Measuring and displaying voltage, current, frequency, and other electrical parameters required for the project.

Control Equipment

Push-buttons, selector switches, signal lamps, control relays, and necessary equipment for manual/automatic control.

Enclosure & Structure

Design of enclosure, protection degree (IP), dimensions, equipment layout, and accessibility based on installation conditions and requirements.
