Socomec has announced the launch of “SIRCOVER” — a manual transfer switch with enhanced features.
The best in class with compelling product features the ‘All New SIRCOVER’ has been designed and engineered based on the evolving customer feedback and user experience, in addition to SOCOMEC’s ongoing commitment to dedicated research and development on various commercial applications and critical installations, a release by Socomec said.
Local production
Socomec will be manufacturing the SIRCOVER at its local manufacturing facility in Gurgaon, reaffirming the company’s commitment to support “Atmanirbhar Bharat”.
Growing need
With power outages occurring, even in high reliability distribution networks, leading to major incidents and losses on critical applications like emergency systems, healthcare facilities, server rooms and production lines to name a few, the need for more reliable, secure, robust, durable, flexible and adaptable manual transfer switches has become more critical than ever before, the release said.
Enhanced features
The new SIRCOVER brings features, which include an increased terminal clearance, with enhanced termination capacity through integrated spreaders, that enables secure Aluminium termination, as well as inter-phase barriers for added operations safety and an ergonomic retrofit solution for our COS legacy range
Fully compliant to IEC 60947-6-1 class PC, the most specified class worldwide, SIRCOVER manually operated transfer switches provide on-load transfer between two sources for any low voltage power circuit, as well as safety isolation by double breaking per pole. There are two ranges in the series:
- SIRCOVER for open transition switching (I-0-II) available in 4 pole, from 63A to 3200A and the enhanced features are applicable from 125 to CD 800A ratings.
- Another range SIRCOVER Bypass, the combination of three interlocked load break switches provides 3+6 or 4+8 poles for bypass applications.
“Increasing dependence on generators”
Sushil Virmani, Managing Director, Socomec India said, “The growing need for stable sources of power supply, coupled with the rapid industrialization across the globe, is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, frequent occurrence of unexpected burnouts, voltage fluctuations, power outages, blackouts and weather uncertainties are also contributing to the growing demand for transfer switches. The increasing dependence of industrial, commercial as well as residential sector on electric generators for uninterrupted power supply is also augmenting the demand of these devices across various regions”.
