Automatic Transfer Swiches & Paralleling Switchgear

Emergency power systems are found all around us, in our: hospitals; airports; arenas; hotels; mission critical facilities, i.e. data centers, manufacturing plants. Emergency power systems are essential to electrical distribution design, ensuring power is always available to the critical loads.  These critical circuits may feed: fire pumps, egress lighting, elevators, ventilation systems, fire detection, security, industrial processes, etc. 

This presentation takes an in depth look at two key pieces of equipment that make up the emergency power infrastructure: automatic transfer switches and paralleling switchgear. The various types of ATSs are reviewed, as well as, the design and construction of an ATS. The governing UL standards that ATS and paralleling switchgear manufacturers must adhere to are examined. The attendee will gain a concrete understanding of the applications and requirements of automatic transfer switches and paralleling switchgear.
