APC Rack Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) 208V (AP7768)

Deliver instant, seamless 208V power redundancy to eliminate single points of failure for your most critical single-corded IT infrastructure.

Enterprise data centers heavily invest in dual UPS systems and redundant facility generators, but none of that upstream infrastructure matters if your critical edge routers, load balancers, or legacy servers only have a single power supply. If the specific PDU feeding that single-corded device requires maintenance or unexpectedly fails, your vital hardware drops with it. The APC Rack Automatic Transfer Switch (AP7768) completely eliminates this single-cord vulnerability within your high-density 208V racks. This advanced, network-managed ATS accepts two discrete high-voltage inputs (Primary and Secondary). If the primary power source experiences a voltage drop, anomaly, or complete failure, the AP7768 seamlessly and automatically transfers the load to the secondary power source in a fraction of a second—ensuring your enterprise networking gear never experiences a dropped data packet or a hard reset.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Seamless High-Speed Transfer: Engineered for mission-critical reliability. The unit transfers high-voltage power between the primary and secondary sources in under 10 milliseconds, ensuring continuous operation without rebooting or locking up sensitive, single-corded IT equipment.

• Embedded Network Management: Gain secure, remote control over your power routing. Integrated network management allows your centralized IT team to access the unit via Web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces, providing comprehensive visibility into power events and unit status without stepping foot on the data center floor.

• High-Density 208V Capacity: Maximize your rack's power footprint. Designed to handle robust 208V power environments, this switch provides the necessary capacity to fully populate its output receptacles with heavy-draw networking switches and edge servers.

• Proactive Load Monitoring: Prevent tripped breakers before they happen. The active LED display provides real-time local aggregate current draw, while the network interface sends automated threshold alarms directly to your EcoStruxure dashboard if the current draw approaches maximum capacity.

• Phase Synchronization: Intelligently monitors both power feeds to ensure they are in phase before executing a transfer, preventing catastrophic electrical arcing or damage to the connected IT equipment's power supplies.
