A power switching apparatus includes a detection circuit, a control circuit and an auxiliary power circuit. The detection circuit comprises a voltage adjusting unit, a delay unit, a first switch unit and an isolation unit. The auxiliary power circuit comprises an auxiliary power input side and an output side. When a main power supplies power normally or the main power stops supplying power but the delay unit continues working in a setting time, the first switch unit is turned on. The isolation unit sends a first signal to the control circuit. The auxiliary power input side does not conduct to the output side. When the main power stops supplying power and the delay unit stops working, the first switch unit is turned off. The isolation unit does not send the first signal to the control circuit. The auxiliary power input side conducts to the output side.

A system and method for an automatic transfer switch comprising a fixed contact, a first oscillating rod communicatively and operatively connected to a first movable contact, a second oscillating rod communicatively and operatively connected to a second movable contact, a link rod communicatively and operable connected to the first and second oscillating rods, and a guide plate. The automatic transfer switch is operable to position the guide plate based at least on a state of a solenoid. A permanent magnetic actuator communicatively and operatively connected to the link rod via a third oscillating rod is operable to rotate the first oscillating rod or the second oscillating rod based at least on the position of the guide plate.

An automatic transfer switch includes a first phase switch component having a first plurality of cassettes, and at least one outer bus component disposed at an outer side of the first phase switch component. The automatic transfer switch additionally includes a first plate which is disposed on the outer side of the first phase switch component at a terminal end of the first phase switch component. The first plate is structured to increase impedance on an outer bus component of the first phase switch component to rebalance current along the first phase switch component.

An automatic transfer switch for a power system receiving multiple alternating current sources and delivering multiple alternating current output is described. A transfer switch control circuit can sense a power loss in one or both AC sources. Each power supply can deliver current to drive a load but, if one of the power supplies fails, the other can supply power to drive both loads.

A system includes a first group of cassettes, each cassette including a first stationary bar, a first plurality of fixed contact members, and a first plurality of movable contact members, each of which is electrically coupled and rotatably connected to the first stationary bar and configured to contact one of the first plurality of fixed contact members. The system includes a second group of cassettes each including a second stationary bar, a second plurality of fixed contact members, and a second plurality of movable contact members, each of which is electrically coupled and rotatably connected to the second stationary bar and configured to contact one of the second plurality of fixed contact members. The system includes at least one operating mechanism to control opening and closing of the movable contact members. The first stationary bar is coupled to the second stationary bar.

An automatic autonomous redundant switch configured for providing energy from either a first power source or a second power source to a load is provided. The automatic switch includes a first automatic transfer switch (ATS) and a second ATS. The automatic switch further includes an interconnecting bus configured to connect the first ATS and the second ATS, and at least one controller configured to control the operation of the first ATS and the second ATS. Still further, the first ATS and the second ATS each include a respective transfer-switch mechanism, a respective bus attachment configured to connect to the interconnecting bus, and a respective motorized rack-out mechanism having a powered actuator.

An automatic transfer switch (100) for automatically switching an electrical load between two power sources is provided. Two power cords (106) enter the ATS (A power and B power inputs) and one cord (109) exits the ATS (power out to the load). The ATS has indicators (107) located beneath a clear crenelated plastic lens (108) that also acts as the air inlets. The ATS (100) also has a communication portal (103) and a small push-button (104) used for inputting some local control commands directly to the ATS (100). The ATS (100) can be mounted on a DIN rail at a rack and avoids occupying rack shelves.

An interlock structure of a bypass transfer switching device is proposed. When supply power is bypassed through a bypass switch, the interlock structure may prevent manual switching on an automatic transfer switch, and allow the automatic transfer switch to be input into a switchboard when power input directions of the bypass switch and the automatic transfer switch match with each other. The interlock structure includes: the automatic transfer switch having a lever input portion for manual switching of a normal supply and an alternative supply; the bypass switch configured to bypass electric power of the normal supply or the alternative supply supplied to a load side through the automatic transfer switch; and an interlock device configured to automatically close the lever input portion when the bypass lever is operated.

An interlock structure of a bypass transfer switching device is proposed. When supply power is bypassed through a bypass switch, a lever input portion is closed to prevent manual switching of an automatic transfer switch, and when the automatic transfer switch is drawn from a switchboard, the closed lever input portion is automatically opened. The interlock structure includes: the automatic transfer switch having the lever input portion of a through hole shape for the manual switching of a normal supply and an alternative supply; the bypass switch configured to bypass electric power of the normal supply or the alternative supply supplied to a load side through the automatic transfer switch, the bypass switch including a bypass lever capable of manually changing a bypass circuit; and an interlock device configured to automatically close the lever input portion when the bypass lever is operated.
