In scenarios such as hospitals, data centers, and high-end office buildings, a power outage for even one second can cause irreparable losses - medical equipment shutdown affects treatment, server downtime results in the loss of core data, and production equipment shutdown leads to huge losses. Traditional CB-level dual power supplies are composed of two circuit breakers connected together, which not only have insufficient breaking capacity and cannot handle large short-circuit currents, but also have a slow switching speed (usually 1000-2500 milliseconds), which is extremely prone to causing the expansion of faults and fundamentally cannot meet the demand for high reliability power supply. ATS Dual Power Automatic Transfer Switch-PC, with an integrated design, completely compensates for the shortcomings of CB-level products, builds a power supply safety defense line for critical scenarios, and ensures power supply every second.
The ATS Dual Power Automatic Transfer Switch-PC is centered around "reliability, speed, and efficiency". Each advantage precisely matches the core concerns of the purchasers, making it more competitive than the CB level, more in line with the actual needs of high-demand scenarios, and allowing for greater peace of mind for both purchasing and usage.
PC-level integrated structure, more reliable tripping: Adopting an integrated design, it differs from the crude structure of the CB level where two circuit breakers are connected. There are no sliding or re-engaging mechanical hazards, and its tripping capacity far exceeds that of the CB level. It can easily trip large short-circuit currents, effectively preventing the expansion of faults, and is suitable for critical scenarios with high tripping capacity requirements. It strictly follows the dual standards of IEC 60947-6-1 and GB/T 14048.11 both domestically and internationally, ensuring professional performance.
Automatic and rapid switching, power supply never interrupted: Equipped with an intelligent detection module, it can monitor the operation status of the mains power in real time. Once the mains power is interrupted, it will immediately switch to the backup power source. The switching speed is much faster than that of the CB level, meeting the millisecond-level switching requirements of critical scenarios. There is no need for manual operation throughout the process, ensuring uninterrupted power supply and perfectly addressing the core pain points of "no power outage" in hospitals and data centers, safeguarding the continuous operation of critical equipment.
High stability and low failures, more convenient maintenance: The integrated structure design simplifies the internal mechanical structure, making it more stable in operation, with a fault rate far lower than that of the CB level. There is no need for frequent maintenance, significantly reducing the later maintenance costs. At the same time, it is compatible with harsh operating environments, ensuring stable performance even during long-term continuous operation, completely eliminating the purchasers' concerns about the reliability of the equipment.

I. Project Overview
This project involves a power distribution system upgrade for the inpatient building and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a Grade-A tertiary hospital. It represents a typical "Class I load" power supply scenario, encompassing critical loads such as operating room power systems, ICU life-support equipment, medical oxygen supply units, fire pumps, elevators, and precision equipment in the central server room. These loads require absolute continuity—power outages and momentary shutdowns are strictly prohibited—placing extremely high demands on switching speed, power continuity, and surge/impact resistance. The original system utilized standard CB-class dual-power switches, which suffered from slow switching speeds, susceptibility to tripping caused by high inrush currents, and false switching due to brief voltage dips. Grid fluctuations frequently caused precision medical equipment to reboot and data transmission to be interrupted, failing to meet the standards for uninterrupted power supply required for Class I loads.
To comply with mandatory regulations for Class I loads and ensure the continuous operation of life-safety equipment, the system was fully upgraded to PC-class integrated dual-power automatic transfer switches. This enables rapid switching between two independent utility power sources and a backup generator, ensuring zero power interruption, no false tripping, and absolute operational reliability.
II. Issues Prior to Retrofit
CB-class structure lacks impact resistance and is prone to false tripping: Due to the circuit-breaker-based assembly, inrush currents from motor startups and instantaneous grid fluctuations could easily trigger false trips, cutting off power to critical equipment.
Slow switching speed unsuitable for precision equipment: CB-class switching times range from 1 to 2 seconds, exceeding the power-loss tolerance of precision medical equipment and servers, which often resulted in equipment reboots and data loss.
Failure to meet Class I load acceptance standards: Regulations strictly prohibit the use of CB-class switches for Class I loads—including fire pumps, elevators, and core server room equipment—creating a critical compliance issue.
High risk of parallel connection: The interlocking mechanism of the dual-circuit-breaker assembly lacked precision; long-term mechanical wear created a risk of the two power sources accidentally connecting in parallel.
Poor stability under heavy loads: Contacts were prone to overheating and vibration during the startup and shutdown of high-power loads, compromising power supply continuity.
III. Equipment Configuration Plan
In accordance with hospital standards for "Class I" power loads and fire safety requirements for critical loads, the core power distribution cabinets utilize PC-class integrated dual-power automatic transfer switches (ATS). Featuring a pure load-switch structure without circuit-breaker trip mechanisms, these units offer high surge current tolerance, rapid switching speeds, and precise mechanical interlocking, making them ideal for critical, uninterrupted loads.
