Eaton’s Bypass Isolation Contactor Type Automatic Transfer Switches include dual automatic switching mechanisms that provide redundancy for critical applications. The ATS distributes electrical power to the load, while the automatic bypass serves as a backup. When the ATS is isolated for test, power is routed through the automatic bypass switch to ensure that critical loads remain powered without interruption. Compartmentalized steel barrier construction physically isolates the automatic bypass switch, ATS, and electrical control circuitry for increased safety when performing maintenance activities.
Intelligent controllers can help you make informed decisions and perform preventative maintenance related to your automatic transfer switch (ATS) activity.
Eaton offers controller models with remote management, advanced diagnostics, programmable setpoints, integral metering and innovative features such as ATS Health & Maintenance Watch - available with the ATC-900.
Bypass isolation transfer switch basics: what it does and how it operates
When disruptions happen to a hospital’s essential electrical system, Eaton’s automatic transfer switches restore operations to life safety and critical care branches within 10 seconds and ensure continuity of power to their vital electrical loads.
Reliable, rugged, versatile and compact assemblies for transferring essential loads and electrical distribution systems from one power source to another.
