Ukutshintshela ngokuzenzekelaIzixhobo ze-ATSE (iAutomatic Transfer Switching Equipment) inesixhobo sokutshintsha esinye (okanye ezininzi) kunye nezinye izixhobo zombane eziyimfuneko zokubeka iliso kwiisekethe zamandla (ukulahlekelwa kwamandla ombane, umbane ogqithileyo, ukungabikho kwamandla ombane, ilahleko yesigaba, i-frequency offset, njl. njl. okanye iisekethe ezininzi zokulayisha ukusuka komnye umthombo ukuya komnye.Kwishishini lombane, sikwabiza ngokuba yi “Dual Power Automatic Transfer Switch” okanye “Ukutshintsha kwaMandla amabini”.I-ATSE isetyenziswa kakhulu kwizibhedlele, iibhanki, amaziko ombane, ishishini lemichiza, isinyithi, izikhululo zeenqwelo moya, iidokhi, izakhiwo zeofisi, iihotele, iivenkile ezinkulu, iindawo zokuzilolonga, amaziko omkhosi kunye nezinye izihlandlo.
Ukuhlelwa: I-ATSE inokwahlulwa ibe ngamanqanaba amabini, inqanaba lePC kunye nenqanaba le-CB.
Ibakala le-PC ATSE: ligqibezela kuphela umsebenzi wokuguqula ngokuzenzekelayo wonikezelo lwamandla amabini, kwaye ayinayo umsebenzi wokuqhawula i-short-circuit current (ukudibanisa kunye nokuthwala kuphela);
Inqanaba le-CB ATSE: akugcini nje ukugqiba umsebenzi wokuguqula ngokuzenzekelayo wonikezelo lwamandla amabini, kodwa unomsebenzi wokukhuselwa kwangoku okufutshane (unokuguqulwa okanye ukucima).
I-ATSE isetyenziselwa ikakhulu imithwalo ephambili kunye nemithwalo yesibini, oko kukuthi, ukuqinisekisa ukunikezelwa kwamandla kwemithwalo ebalulekileyo;
Umthwalo osisiseko kunye nomthwalo wesibini ubukhulu becala bukhona kwimeko yegridi yegridi kunye negridi-generator ukuhlalisana.
Imowudi yokusebenza ye-ATSE kukuzitshintsha-tshintsha, ukuzitshintsha (okanye i-backup mutual), enokuthi ikhethwe ngokweemfuno zabasebenzisi.
Ukutshintsha okuzenzekelayo: xa kufunyaniswe ukuba kukho ukutenxa kunikezelo lwamandla oluntu (ukulahleka kombane, umbane ogqithisileyo, ukungabikho kwamandla ombane, ukulahleka kwesigaba, ukutenxa rhoqo, njl. njl.).), i-ATSE itshintshela ngokuzenzekelayo umthwalo ukusuka kumthombo wamandla oqhelekileyo ukuya kwi-backup (okanye yongxamiseko) umthombo wamandla;ukuba umthombo wamandla oluntu ubuyela kwisiqhelo, umthwalo uya kubuyela ngokuzenzekelayo kumthombo wamandla oluntu.
Ukuzitshintsha-tshintsha (okanye i-backup ye-mutual): Xa ufumanisa ukutenxa kombane oqhelekileyo, i-ATSE iya kutshintsha ngokuzenzekelayo umthwalo ukusuka kumbane oqhelekileyo ukuya kwindawo yokulinda (okanye yongxamiseko);ukuba umbane oqhelekileyo ubuyela kwisiqhelo, i-ATSE ayinakubuyela ngokuzenzekelayo kumbane oqhelekileyo, kuphela kwi-ATSE inokubuyela kuphela kumbane oqhelekileyo emva kokungaphumeleli kombane (okanye ungxamiseko) okanye ungenelelo olwenziwa ngesandla.
