Introduction: The document discusses the concept of transfer switching, which involves switching operations between two power circuits. This is crucial for applications requiring a backup power supply, such as hospitals and other critical installations.
Applications:
  • Normal/Emergency Applications: These involve switching to an alternate power supply when the main supply fails, ensuring continuity for critical systems like lighting and fire alarms.
  • Genset/Genset Applications: Utilized when two generators supply the load.
  • Switching Between Loads: Provides redundancy and balanced operating time.
  • Earthing: Safely isolates a load from the supply for maintenance.
  • Phase and Rotation Inversion: Alters motor rotation direction with a delay to prevent damage.
  • Bypass: Allows maintenance by isolating equipment while maintaining supply via a parallel circuit.
Transfer Switching Equipment (TSE) in LV Installations: These are essential for safety installations, ensuring continuous power supply to critical systems.
Types of Transfer Switching:
  • Break Before Make (Open Transition): Ensures no overlap between main and alternate sources, with a minimum off-time of 50 ms as per IEC 60947-6-1.
  • Closed Transition (Synchronous Transfer): Allows temporary parallel operation of sources for scheduled transfers, requiring synchronization of phase angles and frequencies.
  • Asynchronous Transfer: Suitable for large motor loads, allowing rapid transfer without stopping the motor.
Types of Sources and Load Criticality:
  • Priority Source: Typically a power grid with redundancy options.
  • Alternative Source: Includes gensets, turbines, and UPS systems.
  • Load Classification: Based on criticality and sensitivity, ranging from critical equipment requiring UPS to non-essential equipment.
Choosing the Right Changeover Switch: Socomec changeover switches ensure efficient energy distribution and continuity. Selection criteria include control type and installation restrictions, with solutions based on open transition switching to prevent source overlap.
Conclusion: The document provides comprehensive guidelines on transfer switching solutions, emphasizing safety, efficiency, and compliance with international standards.
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive guide on low voltage electrical installations, focusing on the use of SOCOMEC transfer switches to ensure continuity of power supply. It categorizes equipment based on criticality and outlines the specifications and advantages of different switching solutions.
Key Sections:
1. Equipment Categorization: Equipment is divided into critical, essential, and non-essential categories. Critical equipment requires continuous power, essential equipment needs quick power restoration, and non-essential equipment is powered only after normal supply resumes.
2. Standards and Safety: According to NFC 15-100, safety power supplies are crucial for maintaining operational conditions of devices critical for personal safety. The document references NFC 15 211 for medical premises, highlighting the importance of power supply in critical environments.
3. Transfer Modes and Emergency Sources: The choice of transfer mode and emergency sources depends on the load's criticality. The document provides examples of load criticality and outlines different shutdown categories based on transfer time requirements.
4. SOCOMEC Transfer Switches: SOCOMEC offers solutions for efficient power distribution continuity. The document details the selection criteria for changeover switches, including control type and installation restrictions. It emphasizes the benefits of open transition switching and interlocking to prevent overlap between power sources.
5. Electrical Diagrams and Solutions: Various diagrams illustrate technical solutions using SOCOMEC transfer switches. These solutions cater to different installation architectures, such as single or multiple busbars, and include truth tables to explain operation scenarios.
6. Advantages of SOCOMEC Solutions: SOCOMEC solutions offer compact design, plug-and-play implementation, and built-in mechanical and electrical interlocking. They reduce the number of required products and enhance system reliability.
7. Product Specifications: The document lists specific SOCOMEC products, such as ATyS models and SIRCO MOT AT, detailing their applications in different power supply configurations.
Implementation:
  • Compact design with plug and play capability.
  • Built-in mechanical and electrical interlocking.
Operation:
  • Reduced number of emergency handles (2 instead of 3).
  • Secured padlocking system for enhanced safety.
Advantages of the Socomec Solution:
  • Supports various configurations such as Genset/Genset and Mains/Mains - Mains/Genset.
  • Compatible with ATyS models including ATyS d M, ATyS r, ATyS S + C40, and others.
Low Voltage Installation:
  • Transfer between 3 sources and 2 busbars with different architectural types.
  • Truth tables provided for typical and Socomec solutions.
Automatic Transfer:
  • ATS Controller can be external or integrated, monitoring voltages and frequencies.
  • Ensures backup source availability and consistent phase rotation.
Test Cycles:
  • Includes Test On Load and Test Off Load for periodic maintenance.
  • Engine Exerciser function for scheduled tests.
Specific Applications:
  • Automatic transfer inhibition for remote intervention.
  • Periodic reallocation of priority source between transformers.
Priority Source Selection and Transfer Control: The document discusses the management of power sources for transformers, focusing on selecting a priority source based on load power consumption and source capacity. Priority can be adjusted locally or remotely, maintaining specific time and cycle sequences.
Controlled Transfer: Transfers back to the priority source can be automatic or manual, allowing controlled load switching. The system remains operational to initiate transfers if the emergency source fails.
External Control: The system allows remote or manual activation of switch positions, overriding automatic operations. A function to return to position 0 without power supply is available to protect loads from unstable sources.
Load Shedding: In emergency mode, partial load feedback is possible, allowing the backup source to have lower capacity than the normal source. Load shedding can be controlled via a specific contact before transferring to the emergency source.
IEC 60947-6-1 Standard: This standard applies to transfer switching equipment (TSE) for systems up to 1,000 Vac or 1,500 Vdc, covering manually, remotely, and automatically operated equipment. TSE is classified by control method and short-circuit capability, with specific classes (PC, CB, CC) defining their capabilities.
Utilisation Categories: TSE must comply with rated making and breaking capacities and operational performance requirements. Categories are designated with suffixes A or B based on operational needs.
Product Markings: Products must reference the IEC 60947-6-1 standard, ensuring they are designed and tested for source changeover applications.
