SmartGen ATS Controllers

An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Controller is an essential component of an emergency power system. It provides automatic switching of power sources between the main power grid and backup power sources during power outages, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to critical loads. An ATS Controller is a microprocessor-based device that monitors the main power supply and automatically switches the load to a backup power source, such as a generator, when the main power fails. It is designed to work with an Automatic Transfer Switch, which is a mechanical device that physically switches the power sources. The ATS Controller communicates with the generator controller and the utility meter to determine the power status and initiate the transfer of power when needed. It is equipped with various sensors to monitor voltage, frequency, and phase of the main and backup power sources, ensuring that the transfer is smooth and seamless. Automatic Transfer Switch Controllers are crucial in emergency power systems, especially for critical loads such as hospitals, data centers, and manufacturing facilities. In the event of a power outage, these loads cannot afford to lose power as it could result in significant financial losses, damage to equipment, or even loss of life. An ATS Controller provides reliable and fast transfer of power, ensuring that critical loads receive continuous power supply without interruption. It eliminates the need for manual intervention, reducing the risk of human error and improving system reliability. Moreover, an ATS Controller provides remote monitoring and control of the emergency power system, allowing for real-time status updates and diagnostics. It also enables scheduling of generator testing and maintenance, ensuring that the backup power source is always ready when needed. Types of Automatic Transfer Switch Controllers There are various types of ATS Controllers available in the market, depending on the application and the complexity of the emergency power system. Some common types are: Basic ATS Controller: This is a simple controller that provides automatic transfer of power between the main power grid and the backup power source. It has limited functionality and is suitable for small emergency power systems. Advanced ATS Controller: This is a more complex controller that provides advanced monitoring and control of the emergency power system. It can monitor multiple power sources, perform load shedding, and provide remote access and control. Intelligent ATS Controller: This is a high-end controller that provides advanced features such as predictive maintenance, fault detection, and energy management. It uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to optimize the emergency power system's performance and efficiency.
