ATS Withstand Ratings including 30 Cycle Ratings and Selective Coordination

 

Presenters:      Andrew Best- Field Sales Engineer Š ASCO Technologies

                       

 

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

 

Andrew has been with ASCO Power Technologies as a Field Sales Engineer for 3 years and has done research and presentations on this topic. He has a B.S.E.E. Is from Purdue University and is currently in the MBA program at Northern Illinois University

 

ABOUT THE TOPIC

 

We will discuss what withstand ratings mean as defined by UL, how this test is conducted and why itÕs important. This will cover both 3 cycle ratings and short time ratings. We will then review NEC codes and how they apply to transfer switches. This will include defining how short time ratings impact electrical design and what kind of impact short time rated transfer switches have on the both footprint and cost. We will also address how selective coordination impacts arc flash levels and how zone selective interlocking can mitigate some of these effects. Finally we will touch on some best practices currently promoted by design engineers and possibly open this topic to group discussion.
