SOCOMEC extends ATYS range of transfer switches

To meet demand for power supply availability, SOCOMEC has extended its ATYS range of transfer switches, the worldwide benchmark in integrated power switching. The product family now comprises four ranges namely ATYS M, ATYS S, ATYS, ATYS H  providing different functions and allowing various switching contexts such as mains-to-mains and mains-to-genset.

Speaking at the launch Mr. Olivier TREMOUILLE, Managing Director, Socomec Innovative Power Solutions said, “We have immense pleasure in widening our ATyS transfer switches range; that will give us the opportunity to address the requirement of the bigger projects. It’s our constant endeavour to understand the market needs and bring innovative solutions for our customers”.

The ATYS transfer switches assure both the continuity of the power supply and the safety of operators. They enable rapid transfer from one power source to another depending on their availability.

All the ATYS are factory assembled for safe operation (with a mechanical interlocking device for positions), minimum cabling and quick installation. Some are also fitted with a Watchdog relay that constantly monitors the product’s operation, thereby securing the electrical installation.

ATSE equipment differs from RTSE equipment in that they incorporate automatic control. This means that such products monitor source availability themselves, starting up the genset if needed and automatically switching to the available source. On the other hand, RTSE equipment requires the presence of an external control system to provide them with switching commands.

The ATYS range complies with standards IEC 60947-6-1, IEC 60947-3, GB 14048-11 and CCC and can be used in any country.
