Abstract
A method of operating an automatic transfer switch to switch an electrical load from one power source to another power source includes measuring one or more characteristics of a switching circuit in the automatic transfer switch. A value of one or more timing variables is determined based on the measured characteristics of the switching circuit. The switching circuit is operated to close relays in the automatic transfer switch. The timing of closing of the relays is based on the value of the timing variables.
Claims21
A method of operating an automatic transfer switch to switch an electrical load from one power source to another power source, comprising:
- measuring one or more characteristics of a switching circuit in the automatic transfer switch;
- determining a value of one or more timing variables based at least in part on at least one of the measured characteristics of the switching circuit;
- and
- operating the switching circuit to close one or more relays in the automatic transfer switch, wherein the timing of the closing of at least one of the relays is based, at least in part, on the value of at least one of the timing variables.
A method of operating a system having one or more electromechanical devices, comprising:
- performing, by the system, a self-configuration, wherein performing the self-configuration comprises:
- measuring, by the system, one or more characteristics of an electromechanical circuit in the system;
- and
- determining, by the system, a value of one or more timing variables based, at least in part, on at least one of the measured characteristics of the electromechanical circuit;
- and
- operating the electromechanical circuit, wherein operating the electromechanical circuit comprises controlling at least one of the electromechanical devices, wherein the timing of at least one operation of the at least one electromechanical device is based, at least in part, on the value of at least one of the timing variables.
