STS
Static Transfer Switches

Static Transfer Switches (STS) are designed to transfer


the supply between 2 independent AC power sources.
Unlike traditional automatic transfer switches (ATS), a
static transfer switch provides a fast load transfer (typi-
cally 1/4 of a cycle), which ensures uninterrupted opera-
tion of sensitive electronic equipment. Load retransfer to
the preferred input source is virtually instantaneous
(typically 0.1 ms). The basic applications of STS are in
automatic systems in the power industry, power supply
systems for petrochemical industry, computer and tele-
communication centers, automatic and security systems
of 'intelligent' buildings as well as other equipment which
is sensitive to interruptions in the supply. The excellent
overload capability and transfer algorithm enables fast
fuse clearance in the event of a short-circuit. In conse-
quence the voltage immediately returns to normal to
supply the other loads. The built-in transient voltage surge
suppression system for SCR switches provides additional
protection against damage to the supplied equipment.

The static transfer switch consists of two (for each phase)


bidirectional thyristor switches equipped with a control and
protection system. The 4 pole types have an additional
neutral line switch. After failure of the preferred source,
the STS checks the state of the alternate power source
and transfers the load to the source that provides power
within selectable limits. This transfer can be triggered by:
disturbance in the preferred source voltage, overcurrent in
the source, manual or remote change of the preferred source.

With both sources in limits and synchronized (phase error within the acceptable range), manual or
remote transfer is performed in less than 200 µs. Transfers initiated by fault conditions in the pre-
ferred source depend on the status of the alternate source. For synchronized power sources with
phase error within the limits, switching to an alternate source is obtained within 6 ms delay. Lack of
synchronization causes delay before transfer. It is possible to set the delay with dipswitches.

Through their complete life cycle, all GE Power Quality systems are fully supported by service teams
which provide world-class, 24x7 preventive and corrective services, training and application expertise.
