What is Redundancy?

It is a common method to improve a power system’s reliability and availability. Redundancy duplicates critical parts or functions of a system.

No matter the size or difficulty level of the site, we have you covered from the incoming utility, down to distribution and all the redundancy in between:

208V-480V-Automatic-Transfer Switchboard With Bypass-Isolation

SBU-ATO-BI

  • 208V – 480V
  • Automatic Transfer Switchgear with Bypass Isolation
    • Automatic Transfer Overview:
      • If there is a total loss of utility power, automatic transfer mode will cause the generator to automatically start. The generator will then come on-line and assume site load.
      • After utility power returns, a sequence of functions may be executed to return the breakers to their normal positions in an open transition.
      • After the return to normal, the generator(s) automatically come off-line, cools down, and is ready for the next start.
    • Manual Control Overview
  • Provides independent electrical fault protection for all sources:
    • 27/59 – Three-phase under/over voltage
    • 81O/U – Over/under frequency (Optional)
SBU-BI-208V-480V-UPS-Maintenance-Bypass-Isolation-Switchboard-APT-Power-2

SBU-BI

  • 208V – 480V
  • UPS Maintenance Bypass/Isolation with Manual, Non-electric Kirk Key Operation:
    • Three identical Kirk Key locks with two identical Kirk Keys allow for only two circuit breakers to be closed at the same time.
    • Remove key from source 1 and insert into the bypass circuit breaker. This enables source 2 to provide power to the load normally served by source 1.
  • Works best in Generator & UPS applications
BI-Bypass-Isolation-Control-Module-APT-Power-1

SBU-SK

  • UPS Bypass/Isolation with Solenoid Key Release Unit (SKRU):
    • SKRU with A-1 Key held captive
    • UPS output breaker A is closed supplying the critical load through the UPS
    • Key B-1 is held captive in the L-O interlock on breaker A
    • Maintenance bypass breaker B cannot be closed until the UPS is placed in bypass mode
      • As a result, this sends a signal to the SKRU allowing release of key A-1
    • The SKRU has an apartment lock that will accept either key A-1 or B-1
  • See Page 11 of the DataCTR Brochure to learn how to supply critical load through the maintenance bypass breaker

Temporary Generator/Load Bank Quick Connection

  • Per NEC 700.3, temporary generator connection applications require either mechanical or electrical interlocking of the power sources
    • This safely prevents inadvertently paralleling normal & emergency power sources
  • Multiple generators or feeders circuit breaker sections (multiple mechanical key interlocks, transfer block)
  • Operation sequence without sources interlocking is available for systems that achieve NEC 700.3 source interlocking externally
  • Loadbank connection only applications
    • Easily connects a temporary loadbank to a facility’s permanent generator(s)
    • Utilizes female cam-lok type receptacles
    • Circuit breaker and monitoring options available
  • Integrated Generator & Loadbank Quick Connection
    • Combines male & female cam-loks into one unit for all your temporary connection needs in one location
    • Dual-purpose termination cabinet allows for safe and clean connection of a portable temporary generator or loadbank
  • Cam-lok gender changeover adapters are an alternative to converting Generator Quick Connection into Loadbank Quick Connection
    • Subject to implemented options
