MDS9 Series

Automatic Transfer Switch

The MDS9 Series Automatic Transfer Switch is one of the most advanced members of the MDS switch family, offering comprehensive functionality. With a maximum rated current of 4000A, it is suitable for power source end (U-U or U-G) and distribution end load transfer applications. Featuring a withdrawable structure, motorized pre-charging and coil excitation drive mechanism, and dual mechanical interlock switch body, it is equipped with the MC800 controller and a touchscreen LCD panel to ensure more accurate dual power source transfer. The MDS9 Series also includes a bypass type variant (MDS9B Series), which further enhances power supply reliability for critical applications.


Controller Features

  • Supports various automatic transfer switch control logics: standard type, delayed type, overlapping type, standard bypass type, delayed bypass type, and overlapping bypass type.

  • 21 DI and 11 DO programmable I/O ports to meet diverse customer application requirements.

  • Real-time self-diagnostic function ensures the device remains in a healthy state with continuous internal scanning and timely alarms for module or ATS faults.

  • 7-inch color LCD touchscreen control panel with multiple functions for parameter display, setting, control, and event logging.

  • Standard RS485 communication interface supporting Modbus RTU protocol; optional Ethernet interface supporting Modbus TCP protocol for integration with power monitoring or other systems.

  • The controller does not require an additional power supply and supports an auxiliary third power input.

  • The processor and digital circuits are isolated from the primary circuit.

  • Real-time monitoring of three-phase voltage and frequency of two power sources; optional load current detection.

  • Supports generator start/stop and periodic testing.

Configuration

  • MDS9S – Withdrawable Standard Automatic Transfer Switch
    Suitable for general and mixed load applications. Withdrawable structure facilitates maintenance.

  • MDS9D – Withdrawable Delayed Automatic Transfer Switch
    Ideal for motor loads or transformer loads. Withdrawable structure for easier maintenance.

  • MDS9C – Withdrawable Instantaneous Overlapping (Closed Transition) Automatic Transfer Switch
    Used for critical loads, commonly in utility-to-generator scenarios. Allows 100ms parallel running of two power sources for “no-break” transfer. Withdrawable design for easy servicing.

  • MDS9BS – Bypass Standard Automatic Transfer Switch
    For general and mixed loads. When the main switch is under maintenance, the bypass switch ensures continuous dual power transfer.

  • MDS9BD – Bypass Delayed Automatic Transfer Switch
    More suitable for motor or transformer loads. Bypass switch maintains power transfer during main unit maintenance.

  • MDS9BC – Bypass Instantaneous Overlapping (Closed Transition) Automatic Transfer Switch
    For critical loads, often in utility-to-generator applications. Allows 100ms parallel operation of two power sources for seamless transfer. Bypass unit ensures continuous transfer during main unit maintenance.
