In mission-critical environments such as data Main Options
centers, telecommunication installations, ISPs,
and government facilities, the reliable and  1-phase 2-pole configuration
seamless transfer of power is fundamental to 3-phase 4-pole configuration
meeting absolute uptime requirements.  Plug-in circuit breakers

characteristics of the input voltage. If the
input lines are synchronized, the exchange
from one line to the other is less than 4 ms. Typical Applications
The basic STS100 is a single phase product, Data Centers
mounted in a 19” (9 units) rack. The STS300 Internet Providers
is a three phase version (free standing Industrial Facilities
cabinet). For maintenance operations Units Process Control Applications
include a double manual by-pass. Other Utilities
configurations can be supplied according to Telecommunications
technical requirements.
