What are the advantages of a diesel generator set equipped with an automatic transfer switch (ATS)?

        In modern society, maintaining stable power output is very important for the daily production and business activities of enterprises, but power outages also occur from time to time due to various uncontrollable factors. Therefore, many enterprises such as construction sites, schools, restaurants, etc. Services, hotels, healthcare facilities, shopping centers, factories, warehouses, etc., all have backup diesel generators equipped with automatic transfer switches. Why is this?

        ATS automatic transfer switches are designed to automatically switch power from utility grid facilities to backup diesel generators in the event of a sudden power outage. The presence of this intelligent automatic transfer switch means that in the event of a power outage, the backup diesel generator will start automatically without the need for a guard or a human to start it. In addition, when the utility grid restores power, it automatically shuts down the diesel generator and switches power back to the utility grid.

Why must an automatic transfer switch be configured?
        In modern times, many machines and equipment are heavily dependent on electricity. In the event of a sudden power failure, if the automatic transfer switch ATS is not configured, it is necessary to manually start the diesel generator. This method is no longer suitable for the modern intelligent society. requirements, especially for some businesses that cannot delay the restoration of power.
        Diesel generators can be used without the automatic transfer switch ATS installed, but the automatic transfer switch ATS ensures seamless power switching in the event of a power outage. Although diesel generators are equipped with manual transfer switches, they must be turned on and off manually. This is cumbersome and affects productivity for many businesses.

The benefits of automatic transfer switch ATS:

1. Safety
Any business should know the importance of safe production to the normal operation of its business. There are many hidden dangers when power is insufficient, and incidents that could result in the safety of employees or equipment can be a serious liability issue. Diesel generators with automatic transfer switches ensure that power is automatically restarted immediately during a power outage. Regardless, safety is always one of the main reasons why businesses choose to invest in backup diesel generators.

2. Reliable
When it comes to reasons to buy a diesel generator, for most businesses, reliability is paramount. Access to electricity is critical for many businesses. For example, in a medical facility, without power, patients may not be able to get the medical equipment they need. Regardless of the cause of a power outage, automatic transfer switches ensure that power is restored immediately. Even in businesses where power supply is not as critical, ATS is still necessary.
