Changeover Panel: Seamless Power Transition for Uninterrupted Operation

In today's interconnected world, reliable power isn't a luxury – it's a necessity. Power outages can cripple businesses, disrupt daily life, and compromise critical systems. Our advanced Changeover Panel is the ultimate solution, ensuring a smooth and safe transition between your primary power source and an alternative supply, such as a generator, UPS system, or even a secondary utility connection.

What is a Changeover Panel?

A Changeover Panel (also known as an Automatic Transfer Switch - ATS, or Manual Transfer Switch - MTS, depending on the model) is an essential electrical device designed to safely switch an electrical load between two power sources. Its primary function is to prevent back-feeding, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment, while maintaining power continuity for critical operations during grid failures or planned maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Uninterrupted Power Supply: Experience minimal downtime. Our panels ensure a rapid and seamless transfer of power, keeping your operations running without interruption.
• Enhanced Safety:
  • Mechanical and Electrical Interlocking: Prevents simultaneous connection of both power sources, eliminating hazardous short circuits and protecting personnel from back-feed.
  • Robust Enclosure: High-grade, dust-proof, and splash-proof enclosures (e.g., IP54/IP65 rated) protect internal components from harsh environmental conditions.
• Flexible Operation Modes:
  • Manual (MTS): Provides direct, user-controlled switching between sources, ideal for scenarios where manual intervention is preferred or acceptable.
  • Automatic (ATS): Intelligently monitors the primary power supply. Upon detection of an outage, it automatically starts the secondary source (e.g., generator), transfers the load, and then reverts to the primary when power is restored.
• Clear Indication & Monitoring: Integrated indicator lamps (e.g., "Mains ON," "Generator ON," "Load ON Generator/Mains") and digital meters provide real-time status updates of power sources and load conditions.
• Robust & Durable Construction: Built with industrial-grade components, heavy-duty contactors/breakers, and high-quality wiring to ensure longevity, reliability, and consistent performance even in demanding environments.
• Scalable Solutions: Available in a wide range of current ratings (from 32A to 3200A or higher) and configurations (single-phase, three-phase) to suit diverse residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
• Compliance & Standards: Manufactured in accordance with international and national electrical safety standards (e.g., IEC 60947-6-1, IS/IEC, CE), ensuring reliability and peace of mind.
• Easy Integration: Designed for straightforward installation and integration into existing electrical systems with clearly marked terminals and wiring diagrams.

How It Works:

Manual Changeover Panel (MTS):

1. Primary Power Failure: When the main power (utility grid) fails, an operator manually starts the secondary power source (e.g., generator).
2. Manual Transfer: The operator then physically switches a lever or knob on the panel, disconnecting the load from the primary source and connecting it to the secondary source.
3. Return to Primary: Once primary power is restored, the operator manually switches the load back to the primary source and shuts down the secondary source.

Automatic Changeover Panel (ATS):

1. Continuous Monitoring: The ATS constantly monitors the incoming primary power supply.
2. Power Failure Detection: Upon detecting a voltage drop or complete outage in the primary supply, the ATS initiates a pre-set delay (to confirm the outage isn't momentary).
3. Generator Start Signal: If the outage persists, the ATS sends a signal to start the secondary power source (e.g., a standby generator).
4. Load Transfer: Once the generator reaches stable operating voltage and frequency, the ATS automatically transfers the electrical load from the primary (now off) to the generator.
5. Primary Power Restoration: When the primary power supply is restored, the ATS monitors its stability. After a pre-set period, it transfers the load back to the primary source.
6. Generator Shutdown: Finally, the ATS signals the generator to cool down and shut off.

Ideal Applications:

• Residential Homes: Essential for homes with generator backup, ensuring critical appliances (refrigerators, HVAC, medical equipment) remain powered during blackouts.
• Commercial Establishments: Shops, offices, restaurants, and hotels can maintain lighting, POS systems, and security, preventing loss of business.
• Industrial Facilities: Factories, workshops, and manufacturing units rely on changeover panels to prevent production halts, protect machinery, and ensure worker safety.
• Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities: Critical for life support systems, operating theaters, and essential medical equipment, where even a momentary power loss can be catastrophic.
• Data Centers & IT Infrastructure: Ensures continuous power to servers and networking equipment, preventing data loss and service disruption.
• Telecommunication Towers: Guarantees uninterrupted operation of communication networks.
• Agricultural Settings: Powers irrigation systems, incubators, and other vital equipment.
