Its 1U rack-mountable design makes installation easy, providing redundancy and stability in data centers and server rooms.

FAQs:

How fast does the ATS switch between power sources?

The switch occurs within milliseconds, ensuring minimal disruption to connected equipment.

Can I use this ATS with a UPS?

Yes, it is designed to work with UPS systems to provide additional power redundancy.

Does this ATS require special installation?

No, it uses standard NEMA L5-20P plugs and mounts easily in a standard 19-inch rack.

What happens if both power sources fail?

If both inputs are unavailable, the ATS cannot provide power until at least one source is restored.
