At Mission Critical Facilities International, we offer static transfer switches (STS) that are trusted and used in various industries, including data storage, telecommunications, healthcare, finance and more. These switches are designed to automatically transfer power loads from one source to another in the event of a failure or electrical malfunction. They are a reliable solution when uninterrupted power is critical, ensuring data integrity, safety, equipment functionality, and financial stability. We provide STS equipment from the industry's leading manufacturers, guaranteeing quality and performance.
Types of Transfer Switches
When it comes to transfer switches, there are two primary types: static transfer and automatic transfer. While automatic transfer switches are designed to transfer power from a main source to a secondary system, such as a generator, they can take 100 milliseconds or more to switch over. This delay can pose problems when working with sensitive electronic equipment under large electrical loads. In contrast, static transfer switches, with their absence of moving parts, offer significantly faster power transfer, making them the ideal choice for situations where continuous electrical power is crucial.
STS Classes
STSs are classified into two categories based on their size and application scope. Large STSs are deployed in extremely critical settings where uninterrupted power is a necessity. These include industries such as telecommunications, air traffic control, data storage, and heavy industries. The sensitive nature of these applications necessitates the use of static transfer switch systems equipped with multiple status checkers to ensure continuous functionality.
Smaller rackmount STSs have the same internal architecture as large ones. The only difference is that their smaller size makes them mobile and more appropriate for point-of-use applications. This increased mobility also enhances their reliability, as you can place them closer to the electrical load. Many elements between a large STS and the power load, including feeders, operators, and distribution panels, can fail. A smaller and more mobile static transfer switch can help avoid failure, as it can always be placed close to the load.
