LayerZero Completes 150 A-600 A OPTS Fault Testing At KEMA-Powertest Labs
Chagrin Falls, Ohio - - LayerZero Power Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce the successful completion of Closing and Withstand tests of its 150 A-600 A Optical Power Transfer Switch (OPTS) product line at KEMA-Powertest Labs in Chalfont, PA.
STS Current Rating (Two-source and Three-source systems) | Withstand rating for 480V, Three-wire + Ground systems | Withstand Rating for 208V, Four-wire + Ground systems |
150 A | 65kA | 100kA |
250 A | 65kA | 100kA |
400 A | 100kA | 150kA |
600 A | 100kA | 150kA |
Based on test results, LayerZero's 150-600 A product family meets the criteria of High Energy (Type III) Static Transfer Switches. Upon application of faults with the rated available fault current, the solid-state switches (SCRs) neither ruptured nor shorted.
In practical terms, this enhanced survivability of the power stage under fault conditions would allow a mission-critical site to instantly recover from a downstream catastrophic fault/failures without having to perform any immediate repair to the LayerZero OPTS.
