 A Fast Bus Transfer is the process of disconnecting a motor bus from the present source of power and effectively reconnecting to an alternate source of power within the minimum possible time to guarantee process continuity. A fast and successful bus transfer enables continuity of critical processes, thereby enabling the plant or industry to minimize losses due to unavoidable transfers or contingencies. 

This presentation will cover Auto Bus Transfer Scheme Methods, as well as:

• A brief explanation of what a transfer scheme does.
• A brief description of the types of transfer schemes.
• Implementing relay logic for transfer schemes.

The presentation will also include a demonstration of testing of the relay logic using SEL relay and Omicron Test set.
