Schneider Electric, the global leader in energy management and automation, is launching a number of offerings designed to maintain power supply in the event of an outage.
The transfer switch solutions increase power security and availability, as well as reducing downtime by ensuring the supply of power to a building by moving to emergency backup sources, such as generators or batteries, if the primary source goes down.
This means organisations can maintain vital services and avoid business disruption and potential financial losses by keeping essential equipment and operations up and running during a power cut.
The new automatic transfer switch solutions include:
Acti9 Incoming Automatic Transfer Switch Kit
- A new addition to Schneider Electric’s Acti9 range, equipped with TransferPacT Automatic, providing transfer switching capabilities to an Acti 9 distribution board up to 125A.
- The transfer switching kit follows the Acti9 design and offers a bolt-on configuration, allowing the option to retrofit onto existing Acti9 equipment
- It is an off-the-shelf, ready-to-install solution that is provided as an all-in-one kit and includes sensing inputs, monitoring, and control logic for source change-over operations.
ASCO Single Way Bypass Transfer Switch
- A newly designed switch offering a single-way bypass arrangement. This allows primary power switches to be inspected, tested and maintained without interrupting the supply of power.
- The new Single Way Bypass ASCO switch offers a current capacity rating from 32A to 400A with IP31 and IP55 ingress protection rating, and is suitable for various applications and conditions.
- ASCO’s firefighting lift variant ensures that critical applications are able to continue to run efficiently in the event of a fire.
TransferPacT – 32A-1600A
- With a new frame size, the TransferPacT all-in-one transfer switch solution now offers intelligent transfer switching capabilities between 32A-1600A
- TransferPacT provides automatic transfer switching as fast as 500ms, as well as best-in-class power availability even in extreme working environments.
- It has a future-proof design allowing for flexible functionality expansion with swappable function modules.
- Also offers multiple additional functions, including remote control, load shedding, generator control, fire protection and beyond.
