Non synchronous power sources
Non synchronous power sources
(OP)
I am testing a transfer switch that is supposed to be able to handle two single phase sources that are asynchronous, and switch seamlessly from the first source to the second when the first one fails.
In our office we have a three phase supply. So if I took one single phase supply off red to use as the first source, and one single phase supply from the white phase as the second source, would these two count as asynchronous sources? Would their sine waves be in phase or not necessarily so?

RE: Non synchronous power sources
I hope your three phase is not delta...
Much better testing would be to use one of your building phases and then use a generator that is not synched to provide all other phase angle possibilities.
