摘要:
Methods and systems for exercising a genset are disclosed herein. The method includes detecting whether the genset is in a first mode or a second mode, and activating a plurality of exercise cycles of the genset. Activating the plurality of exercise cycles comprises, in response to detecting the genset is in the first mode, ignite fuel to activate the genset during each of the plurality of exercise cycles of the genset; and in response to detecting the genset is in the second mode, cranking the genset without igniting fuel during at least a first subset of the plurality of exercise cycles.
摘要:
Automatic transfer switches and methods of forming such switches are disclosed herein. One automatic transfer switch disclosed herein includes a first source bar structured to connect to a first power source, a second source bar structured to connect to a second power source, and a stationary bar structured to be coupled to a load. The automatic transfer switch also includes a first movable bar and a second movable bar each electrically coupled and rotatably connected to the stationary bar. The length of each movable bar and the angle of each movable bar with respect to the stationary bus bar are selected to approximately balance the contact force on each movable bar. Thus, smooth and reliable operations of the automatic transfer switch can be achieved.
