The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.9kW Single-Phase Local Metered Automatic Transfer Switch PDU is a vital solution for ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted power supply to your essential network devices. This Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is tailored for high-performance applications such as data centers and server rooms. With dual input capabilities and advanced power management features, this PDU guarantees that your critical equipment is safeguarded against power interruptions and fluctuations.
- Redundant Power Supply: The dual input cords provide connectivity to two separate power sources, ensuring continuous power availability. Should the primary source fail or become unstable, the ATS automatically transitions to the secondary source, keeping your devices operational.
- Hot-Swappable UPS Protection: When paired with a single uninterruptible power supply (UPS), this ATS allows for fault-tolerant hot-swappable UPS protection. Additionally, each input can be connected to its own UPS system for added reliability.
- Power Quality Monitoring: The built-in ATS processor continuously evaluates the power quality of both input sources. It prevents switching to the secondary source if it is inferior or unavailable compared to the primary source's quality, ensuring optimal performance.
- User-Friendly Interface: The front input LEDs provide clear visibility of power availability, allowing users to effortlessly monitor the status of both primary and secondary power sources at a glance.
- Compact and Versatile Design: Its 1U horizontal rackmount configuration allows the device to fit easily into standard server racks, making it a space-efficient solution for diverse power management needs.
