POWER GENERATION
EXPERTISE
Several decades of experience and contribution to power generation technology have
allowed Maschinenbau Halberstadt GmbH to conceptualize and tailor the ideal low
Several decades of experience and contribution to power generation technology have
voltage transfer switch that enables:
■■ Quick, safe and reliable transfer.

■■ Secure isolation.
■■ Minimum energy consumption.
■■ Minimizing downtime and service continuity.

MAIN APPLICATIONS
The transfer switch serves as an equipment to transfer load supply service

between two sources.
■■Utility to Generator
For application with single utility feeder and a standby generator source. The
transfer switch senses loss or abnormality in utility voltage then issues a remote
start signal to the standby generator and transfers the load. Load is transferred
back under normal utility conditions.
LOAD
■■Generator to Generator
For application in a power system with multiple site generators. Load is
transferred to secondary generation in the events of failure or scheduled
maintenance.
LOAD
■■Utility to Utility
For application with multiple utility feed. Transfer from one source to another is
enabled in case of scheduled maintenance of source failure.
LOAD
■■Multiple Source System

Multiple Source Systems may include multiple redundant utility feeds and/or
multiple standby generators.
Load is transferred to standby source in the event of utility (ies) failure in the
case of multiple utility feeds.
Load transfer to secondary generator is accomplished following the failure of

both utility and standby generators.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The ATS is intended for use in low voltage power networks in order to reduce and
virtually eliminate outage periods of critical loads. The ATS ratings range from 100A
to 3000A to cover the widest range of industrial, commercial and residential needs.
■■ Extended product lifetime through minimization of arcing time.

■■ On-Load Switching.
■■ 3 Stable switch positions (Main Source, Neutral, Emergency Source).
■■ Manual Bypass Capabilities.
■■ Dual switching strategies:
Main ←→ Emergency or Main ←→ Neutral ←→ Emergency.
■■ Individual phase enclosure and arc chamber to improve breaking capacity.
■■ Enhanced main contact protection & breaking capacity.
■■ Easy to maintain.
■■ High transfer capabilities for inductive and motor loads.

AUT FEATURES
100~3000A
MBH AU’s unique design is optimized to ensure personnel safety, equipment protection
and virtually eliminating outages thus combining safety, reliability and fast response. It
is widely trusted to maintain service of critical and non-critical processes online at all
time to enhance our client’s manufacturing capabilities.
Safety
■■ All phases are fully insulated, each in its unique structure.
■■ The breaking chambers are fully enclosed to prevent contact with any live parts
caused by insulation degradation following an arcing event.
■■ Safe conductive performance is ensured by applying adequate contact pressure at
all times during operation.
Compact Design
Each phase is fully insulated and is in an independent 1-phase structure. According
to the convenience of users, the conduction parts of 3-phase and 4-phase can be
combined depending on the capacity and the number of phases.
■■ The compact and unique design allows for switching between main source and
emergency source through the use of one coil.
■■ The uniquely structured arc shute reduces the arc breaking time leading to longer
contact lifetime.
■■ Stable breaking is ensured by the use of a breaking spring for tripping operations.
■■ Low loss and low energy consumption due to the application of instantaneous
excitation mode.
■■ Both direct source transfer and transfer through neutral stable position are possible.
Reference Standards
The AU Automatic Transfer Switches are designed, manufactured and tested
incompliance with the following standards:
■■ IEC EN 60947-6-3
■■ IEC EN 60947-6-6

MANUAL OPERATION
Manual operation is made feasible through the use of a handle connected to the side of the ATS and by making use of a metal pin
to control source selection and tripping.

OPERATING CONDITIONS
■■Ambient Conditions
Avoid installation in humid areas, locations with risk of exposure to poisonous gas and high temperature places.
■■Orientation
The ATS is designed to be installed in a specific direction as highlighted in the figure. The ATS feature and performance may be
subject to variation if the installation orientation changes. Ideally, the ATS should be installed so as the nameplate can be read
properly facing the front and without any twist or bending of any ATS components.
■■Control Circuit Connection

Use low voltage control/power cable with sufficient length. In case of DC supply, make sure to take into consideration battery and
charging characteristics.
■■Main Circuit Connection

Connect firmly by selecting appropriate wire sizes and solderless terminals. Avoid applying excessive stress to the main circuit
terminal.
■■Maintenance & Inspection

Conduct maintenance and inspection at regular cycles in order to maintain the ATS performance.
