Electrical Safety Assured with Rittal’s TS 8 Baying System
S
afety and security are two high priorities for installers and users of electrical switchgear.
To prevent personal injury or property damage as a result of issues such as fault currents (short circuits), a number of industry standards and regulations have to be followed. These also cover the potential equalisation between all the metallic parts of an enclosure. The TS 8 baying system from Rittal is a great example of how safety can be built-in through automatic potential equalisation without necessarily having to separately earth each individual panel. The earthing of metallic parts on electrical systems for safety reasons is prescribed virtually everywhere. This applies to all electrical equipment and units – from simple lamps to low voltage distribution systems. In low voltage switchgear, all the metal frame and enclosure parts endangered by stray voltage have to be earthed.

Socomec provides changeover systems for critical systems at BUPA Cromwell Hospital
S
ocomec’s ATyS p automatic changeover switches have been chosen to support the critical power infrastructure
at BUPA’s Cromwell Hospital. As the market leader in integrated critical power solutions for the most demanding applications, Socomec was the clear choice for the electrical contractor, Rotary Southern.
Colin Dean UK Managing Director, Socomec explains; “Our products are ideal for medical applications where guaranteed availability is vital.
Hospitals cannot tolerate
critical or life-safety systems being offline as evacuating the patients is unthinkable. Our automatic transfer switches – ATyS – offer absolute confidence as they are self-monitoring and report the health of both the primary and the backup supply.”
Parameters can be easily configured from the front of the unit or via Easyconfig software and the product can be fully integrated into the overall power management system.
Dean continues; “The ATyS p in particular offers inputs / outputs and current transformer inputs that can be utilised to control load shedding based on a programmable power supply level. Highly reliable with a low MTTR and zero maintenance requirements, this third generation ATyS p also has several communication options allowing it to be easily integrated in the building control scheme.”
ATyS p range
Fully certified to BS EN 60947-6-1 (changeover switch) and BS EN 60947-3 (isolator), the Socomec manages the changeover between two supplies (transformer / transformer or
transformer / generator) to enable the hospital to switch between two supplies for critical systems.
The upgrade at the hospital was undertaken while it was still in full operation and the biggest compliment to the team involved in the works will be that none of the patients noticed any major disruption.
