ATS Suggested Specification
In order to ensure the long-time continuous power supplying for the critical loads, this project needs to purchase ATS with international well-known brands, including ASCO. The critical parameters and technical features requirements of the ATSs are listed as below.
•To ensure high quality, the manufacturer that supplying the ATS should comply with ISO international quality standards, and provide a valid ISO9001 certificate.
•The ATS must comply with the IEC 60947-6-1 standard, and pass strict tests in a third party test lab. A valid type test report should be made available to prove that ATScomplies with the latest IEC 60947-6-1 standard.
•PC class ATS, available for both manual and automatic operation.
•Applicable for AC-33B utilization category.
•Basic electrical parameters:
-Rated voltage and frequency: 380Vac/50Hz
-Rated current: 400A
-Poles: 4
-Rated insulation voltage: 800Vac
•The mechanism should have reliable electrical and mechanical interlock, which can prevent two sources from connecting simultaneously.
•The main contacts can operate at stable two operation positions or three operation positions. When operating at three operation positions mode, two sources can be isolated in the center-off position. An isolating position lock is required to ensure safe maintenance when operating at center-off mode.
•Has a large current withstand capability:
-Rated short-time withstand current: 25kA@100ms (15kA@100ms for C2ADTL, 10kA@100ms for B2ADTL)
-Rated short-circuit making capacity: 65kA peak (31.5kA peak for C2ADTL, 17kA peak for B2ADTL)
-Rated conditional short-circuit current (with specified current limiting fuse): 200kA (120kA for B2ADTL)
•Mechanical operation performance (times) should be not less than 10,000.
•The switch and the controller should withstand at least 40kA surge current when cooperating with Class C surge protective devices.
•The switch body can configure at least 8 auxiliary contactors.
•The controller panel should have LCD screen displaying at least 2 line contents and a touch pad for programming. The display should include at least real-time voltage and frequency of the two sources, mode selection, time delay setting, phase sequence, and warning information. The controller panel should also have LED indicators to indicate the status of the two sources and contacts position.
•The controller should monitor the status of the two sources and can transfer when over-voltage, under-voltage, over-frequency, under-frequency, and phase loss faults occur.
-Over-voltage setting ranges 102~120% or OFF
-Under-voltage setting ranges 75~98%
-Over-frequency setting ranges 102~115%
-Under-frequency setting ranges 85~98%
•The controller should be supplied with high-frequency switching power supply, which has a wide spread range of 80-480Vac. An external 24Vdc power input is optional.
•Multiple operating modes are optional, including manual/automatic, source I priority/no source priority, and remote control.
•Can accept the 24Vdc fire control signal input to transfer the non-essential loads to the disconnect position in case of fire.
•Time delay can be continuously adjusted to avoid the mis-operation because of the source interference and the inrush current during the transition. Time delay contents should include:
-override momentary power outage for source I and II: 0-3s
-source I to source II: 0-5min
-source II back to source I: 0-30min
-engine cool down: 0-60min
-center-off position delay: 0-5s
•The controller should have password authority management function.
•RS485 telecommunication interface and open MODBUS protocol are required.
•Can record at least 100 events, which include event time and date, event type, and event reason.
