Vertiv PowerIT Rack Transfer Switch For Mission-Critical Power Reliability.pdf

The Vertiv PowerIT Rack Transfer Switch delivers redundant power to single corded devices, safeguarding critical IT infrastructure in the event of a power failure. It features two independent power inputs, allowing users to connect to a primary and secondary power source. The switch automatically detects the loss of power and transfers the power load to the alternative power source in less than 4-8 milliseconds without human intervention. This ensures continuous power to equipment until the primary power source returns.

The switch is an open transition switch utilizing a break-before-make process for transferring between the primary and secondary power source. This method does not require phase synchronization between the two power feeds, making it suitable for use in both data center and edge locations. Enhanced redundant switches and fail-safe fused thermistors mitigate current surge during transfers, protecting critical equipment during fail-over.

The Vertiv PowerIT Rack Transfer Switch provides a wide range of configuration options to support redundancy strategies in most data center and edge applications. It utilizes evolutionary upgradeable technology, allowing users to install the intelligence they require today, with the option to upgrade technology as needs evolve. Intelligent models provide a comprehensive view of critical IT equipment power usage at the rack or via remote access, enabling users to set user-defined thresholds to receive notifications when power and environmental conditions fall outside the desired range.

The switch is available in various single-phase electrical and receptacle configurations with different intelligence options. The front panel interface provides visual identification of the active power source and allows users to do a manual transfer to the secondary power source remotely or with the touch of a button to perform equipment maintenance. Select models come equipped with the Combination Outlet C13/C19, accommodating either a C14 or C20 power cable in the same outlet without the need for an adapter.

The Vertiv Intelligence Director streamlines deployment with IP aggregation of up to 50 supported Vertiv devices on a single IP address with self-configuration of downstream devices. The switch is available in various configurations, including 1U and 2U horizontal rack mount configurations, and is compliant with global standards, including UL Listed and CE Marked.
