Manual source-<strong>changeover</strong> system<br />

This is the most simple type. It is controlled manually by an operator and<br />

consequently the time required to switch from the normal to the replacement<br />

source can vary.<br />

A manual source-<strong>changeover</strong> system is made up of two or three mechanically<br />

interlocked manually-operated <strong>circuit</strong> <strong>breakers</strong> or switch-disconnectors.<br />

Remote-operated source-<strong>changeover</strong> system<br />

This is the most commonly employed system <strong>for</strong> devices with high ratings (above<br />

400 A).No human intervention is required. Transfer from the normal to the<br />

replacement source is controlled electrically.<br />

A remote-controlled source-<strong>changeover</strong> system is made up of two or three <strong>circuit</strong><br />

<strong>breakers</strong> or switch-disconnectors linked by an electrical interlocking system that<br />

may have different configurations. In addition, a mechanical interlocking system<br />

protects against electrical malfunctions or incorrect manual operations.<br />

Automatic source-<strong>changeover</strong> <strong>systems</strong><br />

An automatic controller may be added to a remote-operated source-<strong>changeover</strong><br />

system <strong>for</strong> automatic source control according to programmable operating modes.<br />

This solution ensures optimum energy management:<br />

b transfer to a replacement source according to external requirements<br />

b management of power sources<br />

b regulation<br />

b emergency source replacement, etc.<br />

The automatic controller may be fitted with an option <strong>for</strong> communication with a<br />

supervisor.<br />
