The iSTS B1 is a 2 pole, single phase 1RU 19-inch rack mount iSTS with a maintenance bypass feature. Both the active conductor and the neutral are switched. Thyristors are used to undertake the switching process. These are many times faster and more reliable than their electromechanical equivalents.
Turns incoming Supply 2 ON or OFF. When switched OFF, power will not go through the STS 15 Supply 2 Isolator Switch* circuit and Supply 1 Okay LED will show red. *Optional features iSTS B1 – User Manual Page 5...
The standard iSTS B1 will contribute a maximum of 5mA to earth leakage (transiently & during switching between sources), this will itself not cause any tripping of the RCDs. The iSTS B1 has backfeed contactors to ensure that there is no or negligible earth leakage currents if a supply source is removed.
3. Confirm that the load is receiving power. Check that LEDs on the mimic are correctly representing the supply status and load. NOTE: Only the On Supply 1 LED or On Supply 2 LED should be red, not both. iSTS B1 – User Manual Page 7...
