Chapter 1 Product Description

This chapter describes the application & features, operating principle, operation mode and appearance of the LTS load transfer switch (LTS for short).

Application & Features
The LTS is a 1-pole automatic transfer device. It assumes the critical task of monitoring and transfer in the dual-bus power supply system consisting of two AC power supplies. It is applicable in high-end uninterruptible power supply fields demanding exceptional power reliability, such as computer centers, internet data centers, telecom and financial data centers, and industrial process control centers, to provide stable and quality AC power for the load equipment.

Features of the LTS include

  • Redundancy design of the system key component, auxiliary supply, ensures normal operation in the case of failure of single power supply
  • Full digital signal processor (DSP) control provides increased data processing capability and system reliability
  • Advanced power-off detection method provides quick diagnosis of power-off fault
  • Powerful communication function enables you to use SIC card (optional) to achieve remote management

 Model
The LTS is available in four models: UF-LTS10-1P, UF-LTS16-1P, UF-LTS16-1P-B and UF-LTS32-1P, in three power ratings: 10A, 16A and 32A.

Operating Principle

General
Figure1-1 shows the simplified schematic diagram of the LTS, where input 1 is the preferred source and input 2 is the alternate source; the input 1 side of the electronic switch is normally closed, while the input 2 side is normally open. VERTIV-LTS-Load-Transfer-Switch-image (1)

The LTS provides two transfer modes: manual transfer and automatic transfer.

Note
LTS supports unsynchronized transfer. However, to reduce the impact on load, please maintain the synchronization between input1 and input 2 under rated working conditions.

Manual Transfer

  • The LTS allows you to use the Transfer button (see Figure1-2 and Figure 1-3) on the front panel to initiate transfers between the two sources. This is called manual transfer.
  • Manual transfer is achieved by changing the preferred source. After pressing the Transfer button on the front panel, the original preferred source is changed to the alternate source, while the original alternate source is changed to the preferred source. At this point, if the LTS detects that the new preferred source is normal, and that the phase difference between the two sources is within the preset synchronization window, the LTS will transfer the load to the new preferred source; otherwise, the LTS will automatically delay the transfer until the transfer conditions are met.

Automatic Transfer

  • In the event that the preferred source becomes abnormal when the LTS is operating from the preferred source, while the alternate source is normal and the phase difference between the two sources is within the preset synchronization window, the LTS will automatically transfer the load to the alternate source. This is called automatic transfer.
  • After the LTS transfers to the alternate source, if the preferred source remains normal for a certain period, and the phase difference between the two sources is within the preset synchronization window, the LTS will retransfer the load to the preferred source. This is called automatic retransfer. However, if the phase difference between the two sources is outside the preset synchronization window, the LTS will automatically delay the retransfer until the phase difference between the two sources enters the synchronization window.

Operation Mode
The LTS can be considered to operate in Preferred Source mode and Alternate Source mode.

  • Preferred Source mode
    The LTS routes power from the preferred source to the load through the electronic switch.
  • Alternate Source mode
    The LTS routes power from the alternate source to the load through the electronic switch.
