MGE UPS Systems (Costa Mesa, CA) introduced its new Epsilon static transfer switch (STS) that ensures power availability to mission-critical data processing and distributed computing, telecommunications, and other power-critical loads. The new Epsilon STS provides rapid switching between two independent ac power sources for uninterrupted operation of electronic equipment.
The new Epsilon STS improves power quality and availability by creating a dual power source architecture that provides five-to-six 9’s of reliability. The Epsilon STS is available in a number of versions capable of transferring loads from 20 to 500 rack-mounted PC servers. The Epsilon STS performs transfers in three to four milliseconds and uses a unique "break-before-make" technique to ensure that power sources are never in parallel during transfer. At the heart of the STS is a fail-safe logic system featuring the latest generation, field-programmable, gate array circuitry to ensure reliable source transfers under all conditions.
Available now, pricing for the new Epsilon STS starts at $40,000.
