Thomson TS 870 ATS
Thomson Power Systems TS 870 series of Automatic Transfer Switches employ two mechanically interlocked enclosed contact power switching units and a microprocessor based controller to
automatically transfer system load to a generator supply in the event of a utility supply failure. System load is then automatically re-transferred back to the utility supply following restoration of the utility power source to within normal operating limits.
Description
The standard TS 870 series Automatic Transfer Switch is rated for 100% system load and requires upstream over current protection. The TS 870 Automatic Transfer Switch may be supplied with optional integral over current protection within the enclosed contact power switching units for applications such as Service Entrance Rated equipment.
The TS 870 series transfer switches use a type TSC 900 microprocessor based controller, which provides all necessary control functions for fully automatic operation. The TSC 900 controller consists of two parts; a front door mounted graphical touch screen display (GHC), and a switch control unit (SCU) which is mounted inside the transfer switch door. The two parts are interconnected via a USB 2.0 high speed communication cable which includes DC power.
