Type-N: Static Transfer Switch Feeding Distribution
The Series 70 ePODs: Type-N design provides switching between two independent power sources, while providing power distribution capabilities at the same switching voltage. Type-N ePODs provide the ability to transfer power between two or three sources in a quarter of an electrical cycle, while delivering that power to up to twelve sub-feed circuit breakers.
The Series 70 ePODs: Type-N performs open-transition transfers in such a manner that the connected load disruption is minimized without cross-connecting the power sources. One power source is specified as the preferred source, and if the preferred source fails, the unit will automatically connect to the alternative source until the preferred source is available again.
All components of the machine are safely replaceable without the need to de-energize the load.
