Where can I request Socomec ATyS switches in Nigeria?

Request a Socomec ATyS g or ATyS p quotation from Franance through the brand-filtered automatic-transfer-switch listing. Include the exact reference, normal and alternate power sources, rated current, pole count, load type, source characteristics, fault level, enclosure conditions, required transfer behavior, installation site and quantity. Franance will contact you by phone or email to discuss the quote order. The catalogue identifies products for enquiry; it does not guarantee availability, price, delivery time, local approval, commissioning or technical support.

Which Socomec ATyS models are listed by Franance?

The current assignments are ATyS g reference 87534020 and ATyS p reference 87734020. Both are listed as enclosed automatic transfer switches rated at four poles and 200 A, with an IP54 steel enclosure. The ATyS g variant is specified with an automatic programmable controller for generator applications. The ATyS p variant has a programmable automatic control and additional power-management and communication functions described for the wider p range. These are separate products with separate references; do not use the order code or characteristics of one as the specification for the other.

The listings sit in Franance’s automatic transfer switch category. A product category does not mean that a unit is suitable for every hospital, generator, utility, data centre or critical load. The product must be reviewed against the site’s load, sources, protection, fault levels and transfer requirements. Ask the quotation to identify the complete enclosure, switch, control operator, accessories and any project services being supplied.

What does an automatic transfer switch do?

An automatic transfer switch monitors power sources and changes the load connection between available sources according to the controller settings and system conditions. Socomec describes enclosed ATyS equipment as monitoring low-voltage sources and automatically changing over to an available supply. The switch is a component of an electrical system; it does not generate electricity, provide stored energy or replace a generator, UPS or battery energy storage system. A transfer can involve an interruption depending on the design and equipment. Socomec’s ATyS p overview describes use where a brief interruption of load supply is acceptable.

Before specifying an ATS, decide how many sources are involved, what each source is, how source health will be measured, whether the transfer should be automatic or supervised, what load behaviors are acceptable and what happens when the preferred source returns. Document the emergency operation, manual operation, interlocking, maintenance isolation and testing needs. Have the design engineer establish whether additional UPS, bypass or static transfer equipment is required for loads that cannot tolerate an interruption.

What is the difference between Socomec ATyS g and ATyS p?

Socomec describes ATyS g as an automatic transfer switch range for mains/mains and mains/genset applications, with settings configured through potentiometers and DIP switches; the range page also lists optional RS485 communication. The enclosed reference 87534020 is a 4-pole, 200 A ATyS g model with a controller described as automatic programmable for genset. The exact controller and its functions should be checked against the reference-specific data and project requirement.

Socomec describes ATyS p as a three- or four-pole automatic transfer switch range that adds functions for power management and communications. Its range page lists event recording, optional communication modules, configuration software, power measurements and periodic generator start-up as range features. Do not assume that every feature is included in the enclosed reference 87734020. Confirm which functions, communications modules and controls are present in the quoted model. Selection between g and p should follow the required operating logic, source configuration and monitoring needs, not the family name alone.

What should a facility specify about the two power sources?

Provide the one-line electrical diagram and identify the normal and alternate sources, including utility, generator or other source type. State each source’s nominal voltage, frequency, phase arrangement, neutral and grounding arrangement, expected operating range and available fault current. Describe how each source is controlled and what status signals are available. Ask the project engineer and supplier to confirm that the control operator, sensing and switching arrangement match the scheme. Do not assume that a unit labeled “genset” is compatible with a particular generator or control panel without confirming the interface.

Specify how the switch should respond when a source falls outside defined limits, when the alternate source is unavailable, after generator start, after return of the preferred source and during a communications failure. Set out whether any delayed transfer, retransfer or test operation is required. The actual settings and sequence are project-specific. They must be reviewed by qualified electrical personnel and documented before commissioning.

What electrical ratings and enclosure details should be checked?

The Franance product assignments identify both references as four-pole, 200 A enclosed switches in IP54 steel enclosures. Socomec’s reference pages and enclosure range documents contain product-specific characteristics and technical downloads; the selected reference must be checked in its current datasheet. Confirm operating voltage, frequency, rated utilization category, short-circuit withstand and protection coordination, switching class, neutral behavior, terminal arrangement, cable entry, conductor sizes and installation orientation. A 200 A rating alone does not establish suitability for the system or load.

Check whether the IP54 enclosure rating matches the environment and mounting location. Record ambient temperature, altitude, dust, moisture, corrosion, vibration, access clearance, wall structure, cable bend radius and maintenance access. Confirm dimensions, weight, mounting method, bottom or top cable entry and service clearance from the exact product documentation. The catalogue lists physical dimensions and weight for the 87534020 record; verify them against the latest official datasheet and confirm the corresponding details for 87734020 before installation planning.

How should a hospital assess transfer behavior for important loads?

List loads by their permissible interruption and restart behavior. A healthcare facility may contain equipment with different power needs, but no general “medical” label tells you what transfer behavior every load requires. Consult equipment manufacturers, clinical engineering, facilities and the project electrical engineer. Determine which loads must remain on an uninterruptible power supply and which can transfer with a brief interruption. Specify the desired ATS sequence and ensure the UPS, generator, distribution board and load controls are coordinated.

Do not treat an ATS as an uninterruptible power supply. An ATS switches between sources; it does not itself provide energy during a gap in source availability. If a system requires no-break power or ride-through, a separately designed UPS or another suitable power system may be needed. The complete electrical design must also consider source capacity, generator stabilization, load steps, selective coordination and critical-system requirements. The Socomec model page is product information, not a hospital power-system design.

What installation and commissioning scope should be included?

Identify who supplies the enclosure, cable terminations, upstream and downstream protection, control wiring, source sensors, generator interface, communication components and mounting hardware. Provide the site location, wall or floor arrangement, cable route and clearance constraints. Ask the quotation to distinguish equipment supply from installation, wiring, settings, integration, testing, commissioning, training and handover documentation. State whether the work must coordinate with the generator supplier, utility, building-management system or other contractor.

Before energization, require the project team to agree inspection and test responsibilities, acceptance criteria, source-failure simulation, transfer and retransfer checks, alarms, manual operation, interlocking and restoration procedures. Obtain updated drawings, settings records, test results, maintenance guidance and operator training as part of the contracted scope if needed. No installation or commissioning service is included merely because the catalogue lists the switch.

What should a Franance Socomec quotation include?

Ask the written quotation to specify ATyS family and reference, rated current, poles, enclosure and protection rating, controller, communications modules, auxiliaries, terminals and included accessories. It should identify price, currency, taxes, validity period, payment terms, delivery destination, estimated lead time and responsibilities for unloading and installation. If design review, configuration, wiring, testing, commissioning, training, warranty or maintenance is requested, list those items separately with the responsible party, deliverables, coverage and charges.

Include the single-line diagram, source characteristics, fault level, load summary, transfer sequence, enclosure site and project milestone with your enquiry. Franance will follow up by phone or email to clarify the quote order. Have the design engineer assess the proposed reference and technical documents before purchase. Require written confirmation of every deviation or assumption so the switch is not ordered from a current rating alone.

Can Franance deliver or commission Socomec equipment anywhere in Nigeria?

Provide the precise site address, state, city, access route and requested delivery date. Ask Franance to confirm what delivery and project services can be included. The catalogue and manufacturer product sources reviewed do not establish delivery to every Nigerian state, an authorized local supply relationship, fixed lead time, local engineering team or commissioning coverage. If installation, programming, testing, commissioning or maintenance is required, request the provider, geographic reach, charges, schedule, responsibilities and written service terms.

What documents should be reviewed before ordering?

Request the reference-specific datasheet, installation and operating manual, electrical drawings, enclosure dimensions, wiring diagram, controller documentation, conformity documents and any project-specific technical schedules. Confirm that all documents match 87534020 or 87734020 exactly. Review voltage, fault rating, switching sequence, enclosure details and connection information with the electrical engineer. Socomec’s product ranges and model references are broad; a family-level brochure cannot confirm that a specific configuration meets the installation design.

Keep the accepted quotation, manufacturer documents, settings, installation test records, commissioning results, operator instructions and maintenance plan in the facility’s electrical asset file. Ensure the design and operating teams know how to place the switch in manual mode, isolate it and restore service under the correct procedures. Follow current manufacturer instructions and local electrical rules.

What mistakes should a buyer avoid?

Do not treat the ATyS g and ATyS p references as interchangeable. Their controller functions and available configuration differ. Do not select solely on a 200 A rating or assume the IP54 enclosure and four poles prove compatibility with the project. Confirm voltage, frequency, fault withstand, source arrangement, protection coordination, neutral and earthing, transfer sequence, physical dimensions and accessories.

Do not assume an ATS replaces a generator or UPS, provides zero-interruption supply or makes a healthcare facility’s power system compliant by itself. Confirm whether a brief interruption is acceptable for the connected load and design any additional power equipment as a coordinated system. Do not infer Nigerian availability, distribution status, installation, warranty, delivery or local support from a manufacturer page. Have the final model and technical responsibilities stated in the written offer.
