Overview InfraStruXure Power Generation System The InfraStruXure Power Generation System consists of a diesel-powered generator and an Automatic Transfer Switch with Power Distribution. The ATS is connected to utility mains (Source 1) and the generator (Source 2), with utility mains as the preferred source. The ATS is designed for the data center floor, which places the ATS and the power distribution closer to your data center equipment.
How the InfraStruXure Power Generation System Operates Operation of the ATS during a utility mains failure when automatic operation is enabled Typically, your data center equipment is powered by utility mains [Source 1] (), and the generator is off. When the Source 1 line quality is bad (), the ATS signals the generator to start ().When the generator starts, the ATS will perform an open transfer to generator ().
Overview: How the InfraStruXure Power Generation System Operates Generator start sequence The generator start sequence is followed only if the Crank setting in the Operating Settings menu on the Generator Settings screen on the ATS display interface menu is set to Yes. If it is enabled, the following sequence will occur: After a start signal is initiated, either by the ATS or manually, and the generator battery is good, the generator engine will crank and the generator should start.
Overview: How the InfraStruXure Power Generation System Operates Open and closed transfers When a transfer is not occurring, one switch is ON and the second switch is OFF. During a closed transfer, the second switch will turn ON before the first switch turns OFF, creating a brief period of time when both switches are ON.
Overview: How the InfraStruXure Power Generation System Operates Fuel monitoring/runtime calculation Fuel monitoring is a unique feature of the InfraStruXure Power Generation System. Fuel level is monitored at the generator (if purchased through APC) and load is measured at the ATS.

Appendix A: Custom Installations If Source 2 is a Second Utility Mains Connection Differences in your system from information presented in this manual This manual assumes that Source 2 is an APC InfraStruXure Generator. If you have a secondary utility mains connected to the ATS, some of the information in this manual will not apply to your system. Obviously, your system does not have a generator, and any reference to “generator” in this manual actually refers to your second utility mains connection.
If Source 2 is a Generator that is Not an APC InfraStruXure Generator Differences in your system from information presented in this manual This manual assumes that Source 2 is an APC InfraStruXure Generator. If you have a generator other than an APC InfraStruXure generator, some of the information in this manual will not apply to your system. The ATS is designed to work with the APC InfraStruXure Generator, and the ATS does not communicate with other generators.
