Abstract

A method and a device are for power supply switchover in a power system, including two power supplies, each being connected to a bus through an incoming line. The power supply currently in operation is used as the main power supply and the other power supply is used as a backup power supply. Both the incoming line and the bus have three phases, and the lines are connected by their phases. In an embodiment, the method includes: determining whether there is at least one sound phase among the three phases after identifying a fault in the power system; and if there is, obtaining a power data on the sound phase before the main power supply is disconnected. The power data is usable to determine whether the backup power supply meets the condition for connecting in the quick mode after the main power supply is disconnected.
