Automatic Transfer Switch

Overview

The American Power Conversion (APC®) Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) provides redundant power to rack-mount equipment, ensuring high availability. The ATS supplies power from a primary input line; if that line becomes unavailable for any reason, the switch automatically begins supplying power from a secondary input line.

Power inlets

The two (2) C20 inlets support the connection of two

 

 

power cords (not provided) to link the ATS to two separate

preferred source and automatically switches to the

 

 

secondary source when necessary.

 

 

 

Outlets

The outlets connect the ATS to equipment in the rack or

 

 

enclosure, providing a redundant source of power to the

 

 

connected equipment. Each switch has eight (8) C13
