HAGERS Changeover Switches

Here’s a breakdown of their key features and applications:

Key Features:

• Multiple power sources: Allow switching between two power sources, typically:
  • Main grid: The primary power source provided by the utility company.
  • Backup source: An alternative power source like a generator, used during outages or maintenance.
• Manual or automatic operation:
  • Manual: Requires manual intervention to switch between sources.
  • Automatic: Equipped with automatic transfer functionality, automatically switching to the backup source in case of a power outage and back to the main grid upon its restoration.
• Variety of configurations: Available in various configurations, including single-phase and three-phase options, to accommodate diverse electrical systems.
• Transfer time: The time it takes for the switch to transfer between sources, generally ranging from milliseconds (automatic) to seconds (manual).

Applications:

• Ensuring continuity of power: Widely used in applications where uninterrupted power supply is crucial, such as:
  • Hospitals and medical facilities
  • Data centers and server rooms
  • Industrial processes and automation
  • Emergency lighting systems
• Maintenance and switching operations: Used to isolate specific sections of a circuit for maintenance while keeping other parts powered from the alternative source.

Benefits:

• Enhanced reliability: Provides a reliable backup power supply, minimizing downtime and ensuring critical equipment continues to function.
• Improved safety: Can be used to de-energize specific circuits for maintenance, enhancing safety for personnel working on electrical systems.
• Increased flexibility: Offers the ability to switch between power sources and optimize power usage based on needs.

Important Considerations:

• Selecting the appropriate HAGERS Changeover Switch requires careful consideration of:
  • Power source compatibility: Ensuring the switch is compatible with the voltage and current ratings of both the main and backup sources.
  • Transfer time requirements: Choosing a switch with a suitable transfer time based on the criticality of the application.
  • Manual or automatic operation: Selecting the option that best fits your needs and preferences.
• Installation and maintenance of HAGERS Changeover Switches should only be done by qualified electricians to ensure proper functionality and adherence to safety regulations.

By utilizing HAGERS Changeover Switches, you can ensure reliable power supply, enhanced safety, and improved operational flexibility for your critical equipment and applications.
