In 1987 G&W Electric introduced the first standalone Automatic Transfer Switch providing reliable power to critical loads on a loss of voltage. Since then we have delivered numerous solutions for various power reconfiguration applications including Preferred/Alternate, Main/Tie/Main, and multisource Load Shedding. Our Automatic Source Transfer solutions utilize padmount and underground switches as well as overhead reclosers and can include peer-to-peer communication for high speed transfers and synchronized returns. But even without any communication, our customized solutions can help you improve power availability and reliability.
Features and Benefits
Economical starting point for automation
Quick return on investment
Improve power reliability and reduce outage times and cost for critical loads
Up to 5 years parts and performance warranty on entire system guarantees full support during the critical first years after commissioning.
Automatic Source Transfer on Loss of Voltage Configuration Details
Each Automatic Source Transfer solution includes options for switches, communication equipment, and programming. You may choose from:
Switches: standalone multi-way padmount or vault switch. 2 or more overhead reclosers.
Restoration time requirements on loss of voltage: cycles or seconds.
Communication equipment: None, Fiber Optic, Cellular, or Radio.
Programming logic: restoration timing, overcurrent protection, open or closed transitions, and synchronized returns.
Talk to your G&W Electric sales representative about a LaZer Automation pilot project. Start small with a proof of concept and gain support internally. You can grow from there as all LaZer solutions are scalable.
Schedule a free consulting meeting with a LaZer Automation team member to take a look at a single-line diagram for circuits with poor performance or circuits with critical loads and discuss what LaZer Automation can do for you.
