How to Choose Suitable ATS for Diesel Generator

In order that diesel generator can automatically supply power for the load equipment when mains power failure, and when mains power is normal, diesel generator can automatically shout down, it is necessary to equip with ATS ( automatic transfer switch ). So today we will share how to choose suitable ATS for diesel generator.

So today we will share how to choose suitable ATS for diesel generator.

Generally, when purchasing diesel generator sets, customers do not know much about the functions of diesel generator sets. Some need to start automatically when power failure and stop automatically when power is normal. This situation is usually called general automation in the industry. In fact, full automation should have automatic switching function, that is, ATS. It is mainly fully automatic. It automatically starts and closes in case of power failure, and automatically cuts off and opens in case of power failure.

The full name of ATS is automatic transfer switch. In the supporting use of generator set industry, the full name is dual power supply transfer switch.

ATS is usually used in special occasions, such as fire fighting, emergency, banks, financial institutions and other places where power can not be cut off. In case of emergency, once the mains power is cut off, ATS will play its role, automatically start the emergency and switch the power supply to the mains power. It is now clearly stipulated that the generator set for fire acceptance in entertainment personnel intensive places must be equipped with ATS cabinet.

Therefore, when the customer purchases the generator set, we will ask the customer for detailed use purpose and have determined whether the customer will add ATS cabinet. With ATS, the generator set can play its due role in special occasions. General units use diesel generator sets, and ATS is not necessarily required for cost calculation. Some generator rooms already have ATS switchgear. If you buy another set, it will be a waste. Therefore, when purchasing generator sets, you should immediately explain the situation to the salesperson to avoid waste.

We should choose suitable capacity of ATS according to the current capacity of diesel generators. For example, when generator current is 1150A, should choose 1250A ATS, when generator current is 250A, can choose 250A ATS or bigger than 250A ATS. ATS capacity should be equal or bigger than generator current capacity. Suyang brand and ABB brand ATS is the most use in market. You can choose any brand according to your requirements.
