1. Tlie
use
of
ATS devices
at
po\tr'er stations
and substations
of
power
systems
helps to
ensure
a dependable
power suppiv and in
many cases
simplifies the
circuit,
and protective relaying. The combined operation
of
ARC and ATS
devices adds still more
to
the reliabie
operation
of
power svstems.
2.
The use of
ATS
devices assures sectionaiization
of
substation
busbars
and reduces
short-circuit currents, faciiitat,es
the equipment,
operation
and
cuts
dorvn
costs.

Conneet.ing

sliould be
avoided
as

practicable.
In
particular
cases,
such connect,ion may be
effected
after checks
to see
whetirer it is t,oleralile as to
the
mechanical
strength
of the motor and
its resvnchronization and

When
ATS
devices are
used, the
protective
relaying
calculations
must
be always
carried
out
with
consideration
given
to
the
increased
currents
erlcoun-
fered by
the
motor
and an exces,sive
starting
current
inrush
as
compared
to
the
current inrush u'hen

motor.

Automatic switching-on
of
stand-by

sources
needs
investigations
into
the condit,ions

for the
self-starting
of important
nrechinisms
which ensure
continuitl'
of

(examples
are station-service

and industrial
