A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The primary function is to automatically transfer the electrical load from a primary power source to a backup source (e.g., a generator) when the primary source fails or becomes unstable, ensuring continuous power to critical loads without manual intervention.
The ATS continuously monitors the voltage and frequency of the primary source. If these parameters fall outside preset acceptable ranges, the ATS initiates a transfer sequence.
Key parameters include rated current, rated voltage, transfer time, switching capacity, operating temperature, degree of protection, mechanical and electrical endurance, control voltage, frequency, number of poles, and weight. These must be matched to the load and installation requirements.
The relevant standard is IEC 60947-6-1 for transfer switching equipment, and IEC 60529 for degrees of protection. Compliance should be verified with the manufacturer for the specific model.
