In many aspects of electricity supply and traffic management in modern society (such as the subway, etc.), ATS (automatic transfer switch) plays a vital role. It constantly monitors the stability of the power supply, ensuring that in the event of a problem with the main power supply, it can quickly and automatically switch to the backup power supply.

How does the ATS fault warning mechanism work?

step1: Monitoring process

In the power grid, monitoring is fundamental. Like an alert guard, always watching the relevant situation. The ATS has a power monitoring device that is responsible for real time viewing of important parameters such as voltage, current and frequency, just as doctors use instruments to detect patients' blood pressure, heartbeat and other indicators. For the transfer switch, if the voltage is too high or too low, the frequency deviation is too large, these anomalies will be captured by the transfer switch.

step2: Signal transmission and analysis

When something goes wrong, the data is sent to the control center of the ATS. There, it's analyzed using special calculations and rules to figure out what's happening.

step3: Early warning trigger

If a fault or potentially dangerous situation is identified, the transfer switches to the backup power supply immediately. The ATS, on the other hand, remains on the main power supply to ensure a continuous and reliable power supply.

How to effectively prevent potential failures?

1. Regular inspection and maintenance

Just like a car needs regular maintenance, an ATS needs regular inspection and maintenance. This includes checking whether the sensor is sensitive, whether the control unit is normal, and whether the switching mechanism is flexible. By performing regular inspection and maintenance, you can discover and eliminate potential security risks in a timely manner.

2. Correct installation and layout

Professional installation ensures the precise fit of each component, and rational layout optimizes heat dissipation and electrical performance, which together effectively reduce the risk of failure and improve the stability and reliability of the system.

3. Perform test operations

In order to ensure the stability of power supply, it is necessary to regularly conduct automatic and manual switching tests for dual power supplies, and simulate possible power switching situations in advance, so as to check whether the equipment can work normally and reliably.

The ATS fault warning mechanism is an orderly process. To effectively prevent potential failures, multiple aspects of maintenance are required to ensure the reliable operation of ATS in important tasks such as power supply or traffic management.
