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.
3. 
ATS

Conneet.ing 
a  stand-b-v source

sliould  be
avoided 
as 
far  as 
practicable. 
In 
particular 
cases, 
such connect,ion may  be
effected 
after  checks 
to see 
whetirer it  is t,oleralile as to

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

compared 
to 
the

stopped 
asynchronous

Automatic switching-on 
of

needs 
investigations

the condit,ions

which  ensure

of
