Iran-Made ATS System Reduces Breakdown in Industrial Devices due to Power Outage
“The product that we recently produced is an ATS or Automatic Transfer Switch, and when the power is out, the main function of this product is to automatically switch to the power supply source when we have two power input sources,” Hossein Amirani, a representative of Amvaj Tetis company.
“In other words, this product makes the systems dual power so that if any of these sources is cut off, it will supply the electricity needed by the system from the other source,” he added.
Noting that the ATS systems will reduce the effects of power outages, Amirani said, “By connecting to two power sources, this system can decide within a few milliseconds which of the lines provide the best conditions for the operation of sensitive devices and in emergencies it completely cuts off the incoming power to prevent damage to the equipment.”
He said that the reduction of Common Mode noise up to more than 51dB, reduction of frequency interference with other equipment, proper and convenient communication with the user, graphic display of various warnings and error codes are among other advantages of this system.
Earlier, in August, experts at an Iranian knowledge-based company had also domestically designed and produced advanced protective relays for power industry.
Soheil Sadat Safavi, one of the managers of the knowledge-based company told ANA that their companies produces ‘Pishtaz’ advanced industrial protective. “Advanced digital protection relays have advanced telecommunication protocols (such as DNP3 and IEC61850) that are used in the ultra-high distribution substations. These relays are used in industries such as oil, gas, petrochemical, steel, cement and iron smelting.”
“The purpose of producing this product is to locally produce advanced protective relays for ultra-high substations and industries in order to reduce dependence on similar foreign-made products,” he said.
“In electric power distribution, various errors may occur, such as lightning striking the lines, ruptures in transmission lines, and the occurrence of a shortcoming inside the equipment, and if these errors are not detected and resolved in the due time, it will cause the spread of errors and fire breakout and serious financial losses,” he continued to explain.
“The purpose of protective relay operation is to prevent the spread of errors in the shortest possible time... Protective relays must operate very quickly and accurately and have very high reliability, which requires reliable, accurate hardware and the use of complicated protective algorithms,” Sadat Safavi also said.
“By using ARM series processors and very accurate measurement circuits in the hardware part of this relay and implementing complicated protection algorithms in the software part, Pishtaz relays currently enjoy having the same technology as the most advanced relays in the world,” the company’s representative said.
