ATS Automatic Control Cabinet for Diesel Generators

Currently, more and more enterprises require the installation of automatic switch control cabinets when purchasing diesel generators. Why buy automatic control cabinets for diesel generators and automatic switches? Before discussing this issue, please follow Dingbo Power to understand the content of the automatic switch control cabinet.

ATS stands for Automatic Converter. The ATS control cabinet is mainly used in the automation system of the emergency power supply system, which automatically switches the load circuit from one power supply to another (backup) power supply to ensure the continuous and reliable operation of important loads. Therefore, ATS automatic control cabinets are often used as important places for electricity consumption, and the reliability of their products is particularly important. After a failed conversion, there are two dangers that arise:

 

The serious consequences are short circuits or power outages (even short circuits) on important loads. This situation not only causes economic losses (shutdown and financial paralysis), but also causes social problems (endangering life and safety). So, automatic control cabinets generally consist of switches and controllers. Switches are divided into computer level (integration level) and computer level (circuit breaker).

 

Computer proficiency: Single piece structure (three-point structure). This machine is a dedicated switch for dual power switching. The machine has a simple structure, small size, self-locking function, fast switching speed (within 0.2s), safety and reliability, but is equipped with a short circuit protection device.

 

CB level: ATS is equipped with overcurrent tripping, and the main contact can be connected to cut off short-circuit current. It consists of a circuit breaker and mechanical interlocking, and has the function of short circuit protection.

 

It mainly detects the working status of the monitored power supply (two circuits). If there is a power failure, such as phase loss, undervoltage, voltage loss, or frequency deviation, the controller will issue an action command and automatically switch from one power source to another. The capacity of a backup power supply is generally only 20% to 30% of that of a regular power supply.

 

At present, when users purchase diesel generator sets, they generally hope to install ATS automatic control cabinets. They think it's more convenient and doesn't require manual operation. However, there are now many types of ATS cabinets. One is a handmade ATS cabinet. The unit is a regular unit, and the ATS is a regular unit. When the mains power is stopped, the generator must be operated by hand. When the generator set is operating normally, manually press the switch button on the ATS panel. Although this method is quite cumbersome, the generator set and switchgear are not easily damaged. The second is the commonly used automatic switchgear. The unit adopts conventional automation. Simply add the electric throttle and electric switch to a regular coat. The switchgear is also a regular switchgear. This switch is relatively cheap, but has a high failure rate. So when choosing ATS, it is recommended to choose a fully automatic control cabinet. This type of ATS has an extremely low failure rate, and the prices of automatic diesel generator sets and automatic switchgear are generally high.

 

Dingbo Power was founded in 1974 and is one of the earliest manufacturers of generators and diesel generator sets in China. If you want get more information, please feel free to send email to sales@dieselgeneratortech.com we will pay highly attention on your question.

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
