ABB TruONE™ ATS: The World's First True Automatic Transfer Switch
A critical breakthrough for critical power, engineered for seamless integration and ultimate reliability.
Introduction to TruONETM ATS
Introducing the TruONETM ATS from ABB, a revolutionary purpose-built automatic transfer switch that integrates switch and controller into one seamless unit. Performance tested beyond standard requirements, TruONETM ensures the steady delivery of critical power at all times. Its self-contained design minimizes wires and connections, speeding installation and enhancing reliability. Predictive maintenance and modular components reduce downtime and service costs, while advanced connectivity prepares it for the future. Uniquely, TruONETM allows emergency manual operation under load for immediate power restoration during equipment malfunctions.
ABB received the Global New Product Innovation Award for its TruONETM ATS.
Key Advantages of TruONETM ATS
The TruONETM ATS offers a comprehensive set of advantages:
01 Detachable HMI
Features three levels of control to meet diverse customer requirements. The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) can be detached for flexible mounting.
Visual Description: An image shows the detachable HMI unit with its screen and controls. Another visual illustrates the all-in-one concept where the controller is integrated into the switch unit, simplifying wiring and installation.
02 All-in-one Concept
This integrated design ensures easy and fast installation.
Easy to Install
Reduces installation time by up to 80%. Unlike traditional ATS solutions requiring multiple components and numerous wires, TruONETM integrates the controller and detachable HMI. It can be installed with a single wire using standard enclosures, significantly cutting down setup and testing time.
Safety and Protection
Reduces the risk of operator injury. TruONETM enables emergency manual operation, even under load, without opening the panel door when the HMI is mounted to the ATS frame. Detaching the HMI for door mounting offers panel designer flexibility. Crucially, dangerous line voltages are not routed to the door, minimizing operator injury risk.
Optimum Interface
Simplifies connectivity. TruONETM features cloud-based connectivity via the ABB Ability™ Energy and Asset Manager, ensuring a common user interface and software environment with other ABB devices. Market-leading modular connectivity supports seven communication protocols for current and future integration.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
TruONETM further enhances project speed, operational continuity, energy efficiency, and logistics:
Speed Up Your Project
Automatic commissioning capabilities and pre-made configuration files uploaded from a PC minimize human error and reduce programming time by 80%.
Continuous Operation
Features predictive maintenance, self-diagnostics, and customer-replaceable modules to simplify service and reduce downtime. It provides fast in-phase open transition, ensuring seamless generator use even during business hours.
Energy Efficiency
Full compatibility with ABB Ability™ Energy and Asset Manager enables data processing for performance optimization, remote monitoring of energy consumption, and easier implementation of energy management strategies.
Optimized Logistics
A wide voltage range (200-480 VAC with +/-20% tolerance) reduces the need for stocking multiple SKUs, saving inventory space.
Space Saving
Plug-in factory and field-mount accessories eliminate the need for extra space inside the panel, allowing the use of standard cabinets even for specialized needs.
Reliable in Extreme Conditions
TruONETM exceeds standard requirements for performance and reliability, ensuring dependable operation in challenging electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions.
It guarantees safe and reliable operation during dramatic variations in temperature (-25°C to +70°C) and voltage (200-480 VAC with +/-20% tolerance). It is also tolerant of vibrations (acc. IEC 60068-2-6) and shocks (acc. IEC 60068-2-27). TruONETM offers true short-circuit resilience, remaining fully operational after exposure to dangerous phenomena.
