Introduction
A Raritan PX3TS transfer switch has two inlets to connect two diverse AC
power sources. When the primary, preferred power source fails or the
power quality of the preferred source deteriorates to a unacceptable
level, the PX3TS automatically transfers to the other power source to
ensure the stability and reliability of power supply to connected
equipment. Power transfer does not interrupt the operation of the
connected equipment. The transfer time takes only 4-8 milliseconds (1/4
AC cycle).
The intended use of the Raritan PX3TS is distribution of power to
information technology equipment such as computers and
communication equipment where such equipment is typically mounted in
an equipment rack located in an information technology equipment
room.
Raritan offers different types of PX3TS units -- some are
outlet-switching capable, and some are not. With the outlet-switching
function, you can recover systems remotely in the event of system failure
and/or system lockup, eliminate the need to perform manual
intervention or dispatch field personnel, reduce downtime and mean
time to repair, and increase productivity.
Note: In this Online Help, PX3TS-1nnn series (where n is a number) is
called PX3TS-1000, and PX3TS-5nnn series is called PX3TS-5000 for
convenience.
