    摘要: In an example, a control system for controlling a generator and providing an alarm upon detection of a fault condition. The control system includes a control relay, which includes a normally-open (NO) contact pair and a normally-closed (NC) contact pair, between the transfer switch and a controller. The NO contact pair is provided by a NO contact and a common contact, and the NC contact pair is provided by a NC contact and the common contact. The controller can receive signals indicative of a state of the contact pairs of the control relay and, based on the signals, determine whether to activate the generator and/or activate an alarm system.

    摘要: A method includes identifying an enablement request to control enablement of a first software configurable accessory (SCA) of available SCAs that are each configured to interact, when activated, with at least one corresponding hardware components of a plurality of hardware components associated with the ATS, wherein the first SCA is configured to interact, when activated, with a first hardware component. The method further includes enabling the first SCA responsive to identifying the enablement request, wherein SCAs of available SCAs that have been enabled are available to be activated, and displaying an interactive graphical element (IGE) that corresponds to the first SCA at an interface of the ATS when the first SCA is enabled, wherein the IGE is configured to facilitate interaction between a user and the first SCA for activating and/or providing input to the first SCA for interacting with the first hardware component.

    摘要: Methods and systems for infrastructure-monitoring control are provided. An example method for providing a visual representation of system events occurring in a system monitored by an infrastructure-monitoring control system includes the infrastructure-monitoring control system providing, in substantially real-time, a visual representation of at least one system event occurring in the system, wherein the visual representation comprises a color-coded visual representation depicting the at least one system event throughout the system. The method further includes the infrastructure-monitoring control system storing the visual representation. Still further, the method includes the infrastructure-monitoring control system then providing the visual representation after a given amount of time since the at least one system event.

    摘要: An example system for controlling a transfer switch includes a power modulation circuit and a control module. When the power modulation circuit is coupled to a solenoid of a transfer switch, a first power supply, and a second power supply, the control module is configured to perform functions. The functions include sensing one or more operating conditions of the system and using the one or more operating conditions of the system as a basis to determine one or more control parameters. The functions also include controlling, according to the one or more control parameters, the power modulation circuit to cause the second power supply to provide a current through the solenoid, thereby operating the transfer switch to discontinue a conductive path between a load and the first power supply and create a conductive path between the load and the second power supply.

    摘要: Multiple bus generator and load control monitoring system for electrical switchgear is provided. In one arrangement, the system is designed to allow for the increased functionality of a single bus system to be used in multiple bus systems wherein the multiple buses are separated or combined together to act as a single bus. Each bus within the multiple bus system may be able to utilize increased functionality of a typical generator bus and load control system independently if separated. Separate bus structures may be separated by some sort of isolation device, for example: a circuit breaker, transfer switch, or the like. If the bus segments are connected together via isolation devices, then the combination of the overall connected bus structure will act as a single entity, while containing enhanced automation functions.

    摘要: A transfer switch including a lockout-tagout assembly and lockout-tagout method are provided. An example method includes a latch of a transfer switch actuating a first switch, wherein actuating the first switch sends an inhibit signal to an electronic controller of the transfer switch. The example method further includes the latch actuating a second switch, wherein actuating the second switch opens operator cutoff thereby preventing function of an operator assembly of the transfer switch. Still further, the example method includes, after the latch actuating the first switch and the second switch, locking the latch so as to mechanically prevent the source contact from closing.

In accordance with the disclosure, a method of transferring a load between a first power source and a second power source includes analyzing a plurality of power sources to identify one or more power sources providing a power greater than a threshold value. The method also includes selecting a power source from the identified one or more power sources providing power greater than the threshold value. The method further includes connecting the selected power source to a transfer mechanism. The method still further includes actuating the transfer mechanism, using power provided to the transfer mechanism by the selected power source, to transfer the load from a connection with the first power source to a connection with the second power source.
