Figure 3.5 Logical Block Diagram of the Static Transfer Switch (1) Passive Switching ① Typical Switching: The sampling board continuously samples grid-side data and sends it to the control board. When a voltage drop is detected, the control board analyzes for half a cycle to confirm a grid outage. At this point, the fast switch disconnects and simultaneously issues an off-grid switching signal to the energy storage cabinet.

7. Equipment Running Trial The STS cabinet is applied in the scenario of on-grid and off-grid switching in energy storage systems, and its startup and operation require coordination with our PCS and EMS. 7.1 Pre-Power-On Inspection Before powering on, please carefully check the following items to guarantee their accuracy.
7.3 Equipment Shutdown There are two shutdown methods: (1) Directly disconnect the switch between the STS Cabinet and the grid. This method is the complete shutdown mode, meaning that after shutdown, the system will be without power, allowing for related maintenance to be carried out on the system.
If the problem cannot be solved or if there are still doubts even with the help of the user manual, please contact SAV Digital Energy. When consulting, it is recommended to provide the following information simultaneously: 1.
