What Is a Static Switch (ATS), and Why Is It Essential for UPS Systems?

Paradyne’s Static Switch (Automatic Transfer Switch or ATS) ensures uninterrupted power by swiftly and automatically transferring loads between two sources, offering reliability, efficiency, and superior cost-effectiveness compared to other major brands.

Introduction

In critical power applications, even a momentary power interruption can lead to significant operational disruption or data loss. Ensuring uninterrupted power supply is vital, especially for data centers, hospitals, government institutions, and industrial facilities. One critical component in achieving uninterrupted power is a Static Switch, also commonly known as an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) in UPS systems.

What is a Static Switch (ATS)?

A Static Switch, or Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), is an electronic device designed to automatically and swiftly transfer power between two separate power sources without interruption. Unlike mechanical switches, a static switch has no moving parts, significantly reducing wear and increasing reliability. Paradyne’s Static Switches utilize Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) technology, ensuring ultra-fast switching and high dependability.

How Does Paradyne’s Static Switch (ATS) Work?

Paradyne's Static Switch (ATS) monitors two independent power sources continuously. Source 1 operates as the primary master power supply, while Source 2 acts as a backup. The SCR-based Static Switch rapidly and automatically transfers the connected load from the primary source to the backup in less than 6 milliseconds whenever the primary source experiences a disturbance or outage.

Key Advantages of Using Paradyne’s Static Switch (ATS)

  1. Ultra-Fast Transfer Time:

    • Ensures seamless transition (<6 ms) to avoid power interruption.

  2. SCR-Based Design:

    • No mechanical parts, providing higher reliability and longer lifespan.

  3. Complete Electrical Isolation:

    • Protects sensitive equipment from voltage spikes and power disturbances.

  4. High Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF):

    • Guarantees dependable performance and reduced maintenance.

  5. Compact and Efficient:

    • Designed to fit seamlessly within various power setups, saving valuable space.
