Maximum Performance for a Static Transfer System

For absolute certainty with seamless power supply transfer from a dual-redundant system, look no further than the Statys static transfer system, by Socomec UPS. The Statys range of static load transfer systems (STS) is available with power levels ranging from 32 A right up to 1800A in single and three-phase version: 32-63A single-phase 19” rack units, 63A-100A three-phase 19” rack units, and up to 1800A three-phase in cabinet or panel-integrated versions. The Statys provides an extremely easy-to-use load transfer switch with guaranteed switching reliability. It is a highly “intelligent”, breakdown-resistant STS which not only allows easy extension to infrastructure design, ensures high availability to critical applications but also facilitates for improved installation and maintenance procedures. The system is able to select the best transfer time on the basis of load type. A typical case is transformer switching where the primary power source is opened first, and the transfer occurs on the basis of the phase difference of the second source and the voltage sag tolerated by the load and typically takes 4 ms. This is known as the “Break-Before-Make” switch. The majority of power cuts in data centres are caused by human error. For this reason, Socomec UPS designed the Statys to be very easy to use. This couldn’t be more true with the digital ADICOM user panel. The ADICOM synoptic display shows the normally displayed values (current, voltage, power, etc.) as the standard Mimic panel. With a three and a half inch colour graphic display, LCD screen it shows all the above mentioned functions and guides the operator through the various operations with clear explanatory icons. A further guarantee of the static transfer switches efficient operation is a set of mechanical interlocks (that avoid erroneous actions such as the closing of a bypass when the other line is active) which prevents manual errors. At its maximum performance level, the Statys gives complete internal redundancy: • double intelligence (double microprocessor) • a double power supply • a double SCR control logic for real-time fault sensing • redundant cooling with fan failure monitoring The compactness and minimum heat loss (less than 1% of input power) make installation of the unit as close as possible to the load, preventing the cables from becoming single points of failure. The Statys, which complies with all the specifications in the new STS standards (IEC 62310), can be used in circuits with any neutral condition and is suitable for IT, medical and critical industrial process control systems. Naturally, the complete compatibility with Socomec UPS remote monitoring systems provides even greater guarantees for the user. So this 4th Generation of Socomec STS’s offer: - • High reliability through internal dual redundant PSU and systems • Compact design with up to a 40 % footprint saving over others • Customer Configurable input and output alarm/signals • Fully compatible with BMS’s and any Communication protocol • Ease of use and maintenance • With remote access from any location and real time Socomec have recruited a dedicated Sales/Marketing Manager, Mark Waters, who brings a wealth of experience from Schneider Electric with his objective being to promote and develop Sales of the Static Switch in the UK. Mark will assess Socomec’s current Market share and how he can increase penetration and Market share by understanding the Customer’s needs and promoting the Statys’s “Unique technical features” over the competitors products. By working on a two pronged approach: - 1. apply a market segment approach to determine Panel Builders/OEM’s more likely to be involved with Projects requiring STS products., such as: - a. Data centres b. Critical process control Markets c. Critical health applications 2. to prepare Technical Specification sheets for Specifiers and Consultants, with a special
