Change Over Control Panel: Seamless Power Transition & Uninterrupted Operations

Overview

In today's interconnected world, reliable power is not just a convenience; it's a necessity. Our Change Over Control Panels are engineered to provide an intelligent, safe, and automated solution for managing dual power sources, typically between a primary utility grid and a secondary generator (or even multiple utility grids/generators). Designed for critical applications, these panels ensure seamless power continuity, protecting your operations from disruptive outages and costly downtime.

Whether you're safeguarding a hospital, a data center, a manufacturing plant, or a commercial building, our Change Over Control Panels offer robust performance, advanced control, and unparalleled reliability.

Key Features

• Dual Power Source Management: Automatically or manually switches between the main utility supply and a standby generator, or between multiple sources, ensuring continuous power availability.
• Automatic & Manual Operation Modes:
  • Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Functionality: Continuously monitors the primary power source for abnormalities (voltage loss, under/over voltage, under/over frequency). Upon detection of a fault, it signals the generator to start, waits for stable output, and then seamlessly transfers the load. Once the primary source is restored and stable, it transfers back and signals the generator to cool down and shut off.
  • Manual Override: Allows for manual selection of the desired power source, essential for maintenance, testing, or specific operational requirements.
• Integrated Protection: Incorporates comprehensive protective devices such as Moulded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) or Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) for overload, short-circuit, and phase protection on both main and generator sides.
• Intelligent Control Logic: Utilizes advanced PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or dedicated ATS controllers for precise timing, sequence control, and enhanced reliability.
• User-Friendly Interface: Features an intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) with an LCD display, LED indicators, and push buttons for real-time status monitoring, event logging, fault diagnostics, and parameter configuration.
• Mechanical & Electrical Interlocks: Ensures that both power sources cannot be connected to the load simultaneously, preventing dangerous back-feeding and equipment damage.
• Comprehensive Metering: Built-in digital meters provide accurate readings for voltage, current, frequency, power factor, active/reactive power, and energy consumption for both incoming sources.
• Rugged Enclosure Design: Housed in durable, powder-coated steel enclosures (customizable materials like stainless steel available) with appropriate IP ratings (e.g., IP54, IP65) for indoor or outdoor installations, protecting components from dust, moisture, and environmental factors.
• Event Logging & Diagnostics: Stores historical data on transfers, faults, and operational events, aiding in troubleshooting and performance analysis.
• Remote Monitoring & Control (Optional): Supports communication protocols like Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet, or GSM for integration with SCADA systems, BMS (Building Management Systems), or remote monitoring platforms, allowing for off-site status checks and control.
• Adjustable Transfer Parameters: Allows configuration of key timings such as generator start delay, transfer delay, retransfer delay, and generator cool-down period to suit specific load requirements.
• Generator Start/Stop Control: Direct control signals to the generator set for automatic starting and stopping.

Benefits

• Uninterrupted Power Supply: Guarantees continuous operation of critical loads, minimizing disruption and maintaining productivity.
• Enhanced Safety: Prevents hazardous conditions with robust interlocking mechanisms and comprehensive electrical protection.
• Reduced Downtime & Financial Losses: Protects sensitive equipment and critical processes from power interruptions, saving operational costs and reputation.
• Optimized Energy Management: Provides detailed insights into power consumption and source performance, aiding in efficiency improvements.
• Ease of Operation & Maintenance: Intuitive controls and clear diagnostics simplify management and reduce maintenance complexity.
• Scalability & Future-Proofing: Modular design and customization options ensure adaptability to evolving power requirements.
• Regulatory Compliance: Designed and manufactured to meet relevant international and local electrical safety standards.

Typical Applications

• Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities: Ensuring critical life support and medical equipment remain powered.
• Data Centers & Server Rooms: Maintaining uninterrupted operation of vital IT infrastructure.
• Manufacturing & Industrial Plants: Preventing production losses due to power outages.
• Commercial Buildings & Offices: Keeping essential services (lighting, HVAC, elevators) operational.
• Telecommunications Facilities: Powering communication networks and data transmission.
• Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants: Ensuring continuous operation of pumps and control systems.
• Retail & Hospitality: Maintaining customer service and operational efficiency.
• Residential (Large Scale): Backup power for multi-unit dwellings or high-end homes.
