  2. In Phase MonitorVSDual OperatorFor Switching Inductive Loads • Russelectric Recommends Dual Operator But, lets discuss both…

  3. ATS ATS In-Phase Monitor, Principal of Operation A feature within the controller (or a synchro-check relay in old designs) where voltage values from source one and Source two are monitored through input signals to the controller. The controller compares the two voltage levels and phase relationship between the frequencies of both sources and will allow a transfer only when the voltage and frequency (of both sources) are within acceptable limits. In-Phase Monitor for Switching Inductive Loadsor for Proper Closed Transition Switching(between two available sources) Typical set points: 5% - 20% nominal volts Phase angle adjustment: 6 – 20 Electrical degrees Source 1 Source 2

  4. ATS Pros: Cons: • Introduces more sensitive and adjustable electronics and circuitry into the system. • With some manufacturers this feature can be a significant cost savings over dual operator. In-Phase Monitor for Switching Inductive Loads (between two available sources) • If an acceptable window of voltage and frequency is not achieved, desired transfer will not happen. Example: ATS needs to return to utility after being in the engine generator (emergency) position… engine speed running erratically, no window achieved… switch in remote location… ATS remains on generator until it runs out of fuel.

  5. Dual Operator Switching for Inductive Loads (open transition, between two available sources) Operator #1 drives the normal source contacts open N N N L L 1 L 2 Operator #2 then drives the emergency source contacts closed E E E The load source is disconnected for an adjustable period to allow regenerative power to decay

  6. N L E Pros: • Very reliable. Positive transfer without reliance on sensitive monitors. The switch will always transfer without the load experiencing a “bump”. Dual Operator for Switching Inductive Loads(open transition, between two available sources) • With an inherent dual operator design, ATS has an ancillary benefit in that it can also be used as a dynamic load shed device, completely controllable, either automatically, manually or in a control scheme.

  7. N L E Cons: • Depending on the manufacturer this can be an expensive solution. • Slight delay on transfers Dual Operator for Switching Inductive Loads(open transition, between two available sources)
