The Multi Switch 16A Automatic Transfer Switch is a reliable power management solution designed to ensure continuous power delivery between two independent AC sources. Ideal for critical IT and network environments, it automatically switches loads between mains or UPS inputs, maintaining uptime and protecting connected equipment from power disruptions.
The Multi Switch is designed to maintain uninterrupted power by managing two independent AC inputs. These can be two mains supplies, two UPS systems, or a combination, ensuring redundancy for critical environments where uptime is essential.
When the primary power source fails or falls outside acceptable tolerance levels, the system automatically transfers connected loads to the secondary source. This transition is rapid and seamless, reducing the risk of downtime for sensitive equipment.
Designed for 19-inch cabinet installation, the Multi Switch integrates easily into structured IT infrastructure. Its 2U rack format makes it suitable for server rooms, network cabinets, and professional installations where space efficiency is important.
The system monitors both input sources and connected loads. In the event of irregular conditions or load faults, it can automatically disconnect affected outputs to protect equipment and maintain system integrity.
With built-in communication options, including RS232 and a dedicated communication slot, the Multi Switch supports LAN integration and remote supervision, allowing administrators to monitor and manage power distribution efficiently.
The transfer switch operates with extremely low interruption times, switching in under 8 milliseconds when sources are synchronised and under 21 milliseconds when not in phase. This ensures stable operation even in demanding environments.
Multi Switch is a user-friendly and proven way to provide full protection against both load and mains supply faults. It delivers direct power distribution to 8 IEC connector sockets from 2 input power sources (2x mains supply, 2x UPS, or a combination).
2U automatic transfer switch delivers higher reliability than a single UPS can by offering redundant power, seamlessly transferring between input sources in the event of any issue without impacting your connected equipment.
Multi Switch distributes power to connected equipment from 2 independent inputs. These power sources can be 2 different mains supplies, 2 separate uninterruptible power supplies (including UPSs of different size or type), or a combination of mains and UPS.
In the event of a load failure, such as a short circuit, MSW automatically disconnects the group of sockets connected to the load, which prevents you from switching off other loads.
If either of the 2 input sources falls outside of tolerance levels, Multi Switch automatically transfers the load to the second power source. If the sources are in phase, switching is almost instantaneous (< 8 msec). Even if they aren’t in phase, transfer is rapid (below the 21 msec hold-up time specified in the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) standard), so it won’t have any negative impact on the connected equipment.
The 8 IEC sockets limits the need for additional PDUs. While MSW incorporates connectivity slots that enable LAN connections and remote management through software such as PowerShield³.
