Raritan’s innovative rack transfer switch
designed for performance and reliability.
Raritan’s hybrid rack transfer switches use electromechanical relays and silicon-
controlled rectifiers (SCRs) to transfer a load between two sources. The result
is performance and reliability that exceeds that of standard automatic transfer
switches (ATS) and at a lower price point than static transfer switches (STS).
Designed with maximum reliability in mind:
u Oversized relays, rated at 48A, and SCRs, rated at 70A, even though the
transfer switches are intended for 16A and 32A loads.
u Prevents transfers of output short circuits which could lead to failure of the
second power feed.
u Uses two single throw relays instead of one double throw relay (a single
point of failure) to support reliable out-of-phase transfers.
u Uses relays with an air gap of 3.3mm vs. the 0.6mm gap used in most
transfer switch relays on the market. Prevents arcing due to surges.
u Offers a 30% larger surface area between the relay contacts to handle
larger currents.
u Offers surge protection, field replaceable output short protection, redundant
internal power supplies and redundant controllers.
Industry leading performance:
u Uses SCRs to provide STS-like transfer times and eliminate electrical arcing
and welding of relays; hybrid relay plus SCR-design allows hand off of the
transferred load to a relay, making it power efficient and producing less heat.
u Fast detection time ensures failed power feeds are detected and the loads
transfered within 4 to 8ms.
u Only rack transfer switch with power metering, energy quality monitoring
and support for optional environmental sensors.
u Local and remote web-based monitoring and control
Features
u Fast transfer: Load transfer times
4 – 8ms.
u Reliable transfer between
sources regardless of phase.
u Over-sized relays (rated 48A)
and SCRs (rated 70A).
u Eliminates electrical arcing that
leads to transfer relay failure.
u 3.3mm vs. typical 0.6mm air gap
to prevent arcing due to surges.
u Inlet surge protection and field
replaceable, fast-blow fuses
for short circuit protection.
u Energy metering and power
quality monitoring.
u User configurable thresholds
for power quality.
u Ethernet, Modbus and SNMP
networking.
u USB ports for Wi-Fi, camera,
tablet, and cascading.
u Alarm and status updates via
GSM text, email and syslog.
u Supports Raritan plug-and-play
environment sensors.
u Runs in up to 60ºC(UL), 50º C(CE)
environment at 85% RH.
u Energy efficient and produces
less heat.

The majority of data center
transfer switches on the market
fall short of expectation.
Electromechanical Relay Switches (ATS):
u Vendors’ transfer times vary from 8 to 16ms.
u The contacts often weld together due to electrical arcing;
one of the leading causes of electromechanical relay
transfer switch failure.
u Relay only solutions do not indicate when the relay has
welded and is therefore no longer able to switch power feeds.
Thus data center operators only know their transfer switch has
failed when it’s too late, i.e. there is a power failure and no
switchover occurs.
Silicon-Controlled Rectifier Switches (STS):
u Offer very fast transfer times (normally 4 to 6ms), but
are over five and a half times more expensive than
electromechanical switches.
u Draw significantly more energy than electromechanical relays
and produce more heat thereby consuming cooling resources.
u Are less energy efficient requiring forced cooling and lower
maximum operating temperatures.
u Reduce the energy efficiency of the rack.
Smart Controller Enables Remote Monitoring and
Management:
u Intuitive GUI, SNMP, Modbus, TCP/IP, JSON-RPC for scripting,
IPv4 / IPv6.
u Full depth chassis.
u Front and rear tablet access and control via USB ports.
u Threshold alerting and status updates via GSM text, email
and syslog.
u Logs transfer times for reporting.
u Support for plug-and play sensors.
u USB ports support Wi-Fi, camera, tablet, and cascading.

Raritan’s Patent-Pending Hybrid Design:
u Solid state components provide speedy transfer.
u Patent-pending circuitry reduces wear on electro-mechanical
components.
u Eliminates electrical arcing that leads to transfer relay failure.
u Identifies output short circuits and sends an alarm so the
short circuit may be corrected before the power transfer
is made manually.
u Speed of an STS at a lower cost.
u Fan-free design for increased reliability.
