Ensuring Continuous Power with Static Transfer Switches (STS)
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are a necessary investment to protect your business by maintaining electrical infrastructure and equipment that relies on power from the mains. it's essential to have a plan in place to sustain electrical power. This is where static transfer switches (STS), also known as UPS transfer switches, come in.
What are Static Transfer Switches?
Static transfer switches are electrical devices designed to seamlessly switch or transfer power from one power supply source to another. In the event of a mains output failure, the STS acts as a reliable backup mechanism switching to your UPS unit as the alternative power source, ensuring continuous power supply to your critical systems without any interruption or downtime.
The primary function of an STS is to monitor the electrical input from multiple power sources, such as the mains power and an alternate power supply being a UPS system. When a failure or anomaly is detected in the primary power source (mains power), the STS swiftly and automatically transfers the load to the UPS system. This seamless transition occurs in milliseconds, guaranteeing uninterrupted power supply and protecting your critical systems from any potential disruptions.
The STS continuously monitors the quality and availability of the power sources, ensuring that the load is always supplied with clean and reliable electricity. It eliminates the risk of power interruptions, voltage fluctuations, or other power quality issues that could impact the operation of your critical systems.

The Master Switch STS ensures transfer time between the two single phase power sources is less that a quarter of a cycle in the event of a failure of the primary power source. All models are equipped with a manual bypass and a hot swap function.
The Multi Switch ATS provides output power via 8 x 10A and 1 x 16A IEC socket. The power is derived from one of two input power sources. If the primary power source fails, the Multi Switch ATS will automatically transfer the load to the second power source.
The Multi-Switch provides electrical distribution and remote management for up to eight output power sockets. Multi-Switch can connect each socket (load not greater than 3A each) to either of the two power sources (A or B). Load demand is shown on the LCD.
The Master Switch STS is a 3 phase (3 or 4 pole) static transfer switch commonly used within power continuity applications to improve and enhance resilience. The system can be used in conjunction with UPS groups or as separate standalone devices.
