Title: Collecting and measuring method for conduct transition time of dual power transfer switch and apparatus thereof
Inventor: GONG ZHU
IPC: G01R31/327
Filed: 2020-11-23
Abstract: A method for measuring the transition time of the contacts in a dual power transfer switch comprises assigning a first contact of the switch to a first corresponding key of a computer keyboard, assigning a second contact of the switch to a second key of the keyboard, and measuring the time taken to switch between the contacts based on the operating frequency of the computer. A multiple pole switch is used to supply a load from either first or second power sources. In order to switch between power sources, switch contacts on each phase need to move between the first and second supplies. To measure the time taken to do this, each contact is connected to a key on a computer keyboard. When the contact is live, this registers as a key press. When the contact switches this appears as the end of the key press. The computer can calculate the time that the switch takes to operate by monitoring the keyboard.
