Automatic transfer switch

Eaton’s 1,600-amp automatic transfer switch (ATS) product line is designed to provide monitoring, reporting, and transfer control operations to include in-phase monitor. The 1,600-amp bypass isolation contactor is equipped with dual ATS technology. The bypass isolation contact switch supports concurrent maintainability through automatic control in the bypass mode for mission critical applications. Automatic transfer switches are critical components to any emergency or standby power systems. Features include a double-throw, mechanically interlocked transfer mechanism to prevent connection of both sources and a field-selectable multi-tap transformer panel. It is also NEMA, UL, and CSA listed and certified.

Natural gas generators

HIPOWER Systems’ HRNG-165 and HRNG-230 natural gas generators are specifically engineered to stand up to the rigors of remote oil and gas operations. The company has developed prototypes of five different models, all of which are built to meet UL and CSA standards. In addition to their durability, the generators are integrated with MasterTrak, a telematics asset and fleet management tool that communicates with the engine and other components to provide equipment data. MasterTrak lets operators monitor faults and alerts remotely and in real time, resolving engine problems and reducing unexpected failures.
