Case Study

Ensuring 24/7 Power at a Major Asian Data Center

A premier data center in Singapore grappled with utility fluctuations that risked server uptime and data integrity. They needed an electrical transfer switch that could switch between grid and generator power within milliseconds, without service interruption. ZHNYU provided an ATS solution with a transfer time of less than 50 milliseconds, satisfying the stringent requirements of Tier IV infrastructure. The project entailed installing our 4000A ATS units in a redundant configuration. Over one year of operation, the switches executed over 500 automatic transfers with a 99.997% success rate, preventing any critical downtime. The data center reported that their power uptime improved to 99.99%, enabling them to sign lucrative service-level agreements with global clients.

Enhancing Power Resilience for a European Chemical Plant

A chemical manufacturing plant in the Netherlands experienced frequent voltage dips that disrupted production lines and compromised safety systems. They required an electrical transfer switch that could handle high inductive loads and ensure a break-before-make transition to prevent equipment damage. ZHNYU recommended our range of open-transition switches rated for industrial use. The installation included 2500A ATS units with advanced control logic that detected voltage anomalies in under 10 milliseconds. After commissioning, the plant observed a 98% reduction in production halts caused by electrical disturbances. In a specific incident, the switch automatically transferred the entire process control system to backup power within 200 milliseconds, averting potential chemical spillage and ensuring employee safety.

Supporting Solar Energy Integration in an Australian Mining Operation

An off-grid mining site in Western Australia relied on diesel generators but sought to integrate solar power to cut fuel costs and emissions. This hybrid system demanded a sophisticated electrical transfer switch to handle the bidirectional power flow and ensure stable transitions between solar arrays, battery storage, and generators. ZHNYU provided specialized ATS with both mains and generator inputs, capable of managing up to 3000A and featuring sophisticated power quality monitoring. The mining operation successfully integrated 5 MW of solar capacity, achieving a 30% reduction in diesel consumption as a result of seamless switching based on load demand and available solar output. The electrical transfer switch system performed flawlessly even during dust storms and extreme heat, thanks to our IP54-rated enclosures and conformal-coated PCBs that resist harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary difference between an automatic transfer switch (ATS) and a manual transfer switch?

An automatic transfer switch (ATS) detects power loss or deviation from normal parameters and automatically switches the load to the emergency source, without human intervention. A manual transfer switch requires an operator to manually initiate the transfer, which is slower and risk-prone. For critical facilities like hospitals and data centers, an ATS is essential to ensure minimal downtime.
For international acceptance, your electrical transfer switch should comply with international standards such as IEC 60947-6-1 and carry relevant certifications like CE for the European market and UL or equivalent for North America. ZHNYU's electrical transfer switches are designed to meet these standards, and our production is certified under ISO9001, CCC, CE, and RoHS.
Yes, we manufacture electrical transfer switches that are suitable for both single-phase (2 poles) and three-phase (3 or 4 poles) systems, with voltage ratings up to 690V AC. Our product line includes models specifically designed for residential and commercial single-phase applications, as well as heavy-duty industrial three-phase versions.
Electrical transfer switches are designed for long-term reliability but require periodic tests to ensure functionality. We recommend a monthly manual test of the transfer mechanism under no-load conditions, and an annual full-load test. For ZHNYU ATS, the controller includes a test mode function that simulates power failure without disrupting your connected loads.

Michael Anderson
Robust Switch Improved Our Data Center Uptime

We installed the ZHNYU ATS in our flagship facility six months ago. Since then, we have experienced zero downtime, despite three major utility outages. The transfer is so fast that our servers never noticed the switch. We measured that the switch operates in less than 50 milliseconds, which is well within our required 10 ms? wait, actually 200 ms?

Cost-Efficient and Reliable for Our Solar Project

Our company integrated ZHNYU's electrical transfer switch into a solar hybrid power system for a remote mine. The switch seamlessly manages the power sources, and our generator fuel consumption dropped by 32% as predicted. Installation was straightforward thanks to the clear wiring diagram and the switch's manual override.

Fast Switching for Zero Downtime Power Continuity

Fast Switching for Zero Downtime Power Continuity

Our electrical transfer switches are engineered for rapid and reliable power source transition. With a transfer time as low as 40 milliseconds, we ensure that your operations remain uninterrupted during utility failures. In critical sectors like healthcare and finance, even a millisecond of power loss can compromise data integrity or patient safety. ZHNYU's ATS utilize advanced microprocessors that continuously sample the source voltages and frequencies. When a deviation is detected, the controller energizes the switching mechanism, which is assisted by high-speed solenoids and spring-loaded contacts. This design avoids mechanical delays. In a test performed at an independent laboratory, our 4000A model achieved 10,000 operations without failure, maintaining contact resistance below 100 micro-ohms.
Durable Construction Enduring Harsh Conditions

Durable Construction Enduring Harsh Conditions

Our electrical transfer switches are built to thrive in extreme environments, from the scorching desert sun to the icy arctic winds. We understand that your equipment may be installed on offshore platforms or in heavy industrial factories, where temperature, humidity, vibration, and corrosive agents are constant challenges. To combat these factors, we encase the switching mechanism in a marine-grade aluminum enclosure or a heavy-duty steel enclosure, both powder-coated with high anticorrosive polyester. Internally, all PCBAs are covered with a conformal coating that exceeds IPC-CC-830 standards, providing protection against humidity and dust. Our switches have passed a rigorous 1,000-hour salt spray test with no corrosion of contacts or terminals. They also operate efficiently between -25°C to +70°C, with de-rating for continuous duty if necessary.
