How to ensure continuity of service in electrical systems?

 

The guarantee of continuity of operation, should there be any abnormalities in power supply from the main supplier, is provided by the source exchange management switchboard, which automatically provides.

We design and manufacture switchboards for every need and, above all, provide continuous support from the initial request to proper maintenance over time.

 

Innovation and change

Ensuring continuity of operation in low- and medium-voltage electrical systems, to avoid problems caused by sudden interruptions in power supply, has always been a widespread need.

With the deregulation of the market and the development of self-generation facilities for energy from renewable sources, the need has grown further.

While it is true that innovations bring significant benefits, it is also true that in changes new problems arise that must be managed.

 

Alternative power sources

To minimize interruptions in operation, first of all, one must be able to rely on at least one other alternative system from which to draw power when needed.

Systems of this type generally consist of an auxiliary generator and a transformer.

 

Benefits of continuity of operation

The benefits to be gained from ensuring continuity of service are several, but mainly consist of reducing two major costs that outages entail:

• the failure to produce goods or services
• maintenance work on machinery and equipment

 

Automatic switching

In a system that has an alternative energy source, the switchboard can manage the exchange from the primary source (main – grid 1) to the secondary one (network 2) automatically, without manual intervention by an operator.

 

In this way, in the case of the loss of the main grid, the switchboard will be able to command the start of the auxiliary generator and control the switches that will carry out the exchange of the grids.

 

Secsun, for the most common needs of automatic switching of power sources has a standard switchboard among its catalog items.

 

QESR – SOURCE EXCHANGE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

In this framework, with the presence of voltage on the Main grid1 source, the load is maintained by it. In case of failure, automatically the load would be shifted to the secondary source network 2.

 

The technical specifications of the framework are:

• Main source network input1
• Source network input Secondary network 2
• One exit valley network exchange
• Two contactors or motorized disconnect switches
• An automatic switching unit complete with protections
• The metalwork with blind door

 

 

In conclusion

To ensure the continuity of service of an electrical system equipped with a second power source, automatic source exchange management switchboards can be used.

This avoids costs resulting from sudden power outages.
