Closed transition operation
Closed transition is a feature that will temporarily parallel two live
sources in a make-before-break scheme when performing a transfer.
This achieves a transfer between sources with no power interrup
tion. Both sources must be synchronized in frequency, phase, and
voltage before the transfer will take place. Closed transition voltage
and frequency limits are adjustable in the system setpoints (3 of 5)
screen. Maximum phase difference is fixed at 0.3 degrees.
Several options for closed transition
Once an ATS is in the field, other uses or changes may occur that
could require changes from the original configuration. For example,
an application may initially require that only a closed transition should
be used and if it fails to sync, then the transfer switch will not switch
to the other source and will show an alarm. If the requirements
change and the transfer switch needs to transfer using open transi
tion if closed does not occur, instead of sending the controller back
to the factory for reprogramming, the user can easily change the
transition setpoints to accomplish this.
If the controller is ordered with closed-transition enabled, the
user will have access to options 47C, D, E, F and G, which can be
changed by the setpoints to disable or enable the functions (see
below). Screen 3 of 5 in the system setup menu (See section 3.4.1)
is where the user can set the closed transition options as shown below:
47C = Closed/in-phase/load voltage decay
47D = Closed only (alarm on sync fail)
47E = Closed/in-phase/time delay neutral
47F = Closed/load voltage decay
47G = Closed/time delay neutral
The user can also disable closed transition and just use the following:
In-phase > TDN
In-phase > LVD
Also with closed transition and in-phase disabled: TDN or LVD
The user setpoints for closed transition are as follows: Disabled (closed transition not used)
Alarm on synchronization fail (will not switch and will show an alarm)
Fallback to open on synchronization fail (to in-phase, TDN, and/or LVD)
For in-phase and closed transfers, the phase difference between
sources is displayed above the ATC-900’s sync time countdown message.
