  • An #automatic_transfer_switch (#ATS) or an #automatic_changeover_switch transfers power supply from its primary source to a backup #generator automatically, when it senses partly failure or a total failure in the primary source.
    When a failure occurs in the primary power system the ATS invokes the backup source which is a three phase diesel powered #automatic_generator here, to run electric equipment until utility power is restored.
    This ATS is capable of automatic starting and stopping of the generator too, in addition to the automatic transferring of power to the load.
    ATS needs to be properly designed and wired to the primary and backup power sources, as it must communicate effectively with both power sources to switch power and connect the equipment to the proper power source with a minimum delay period.

      Sorry for that I have not shown it in the video.

      From the junction box, only one neutral line to the load.
      3 pole contactors on grid side and generator side, need to be changed with 4 pole contactors to provide neutral wire through it.

      There are contactors where you can add more auxiliary contact points on to it also.
      Additional contact points can be slide on to the contactor top and lock it.
      It should be done according to the manufacturer recommendations only.

      Breaker "ON" position is your generator automatic start/stop operating position.

      Introduce a two pole Isolator or a breaker and take battery wires to the auto start and stop connections through it.
      Isolator "ON" position will act as "AUTO" mode.
      Isolator "OFF" position will be the "MANUAL" position.
      When Isolator is at OFF position, you need to start the generator manually when grid power is not there.
      It will supply power to the contactor top and generator side control line breaker, allowing power to transfer automatically to the load.

      If you need an auto - manual switch for generator, connection from the battery can be provided through a 2 pole breaker.
