Source transfer system
Power supply redundancy for single-connection circuit equipment.
With the Eaton STS 16, power from 2 independent sources can
be supplied to servers and circuit equipment which only have one
input power supply.
Redundancy
Only advanced servers are equipped with a dual electrical power
supply. A majority of network devices and entry-level servers are
single connection witch means that the only have one electrical
power input. With the Eaton STS, every critical equipment can
be connected to a redundant power supply.
Both sources (primary and secondary) are connected, in a very
straightforward manner, to the STS in the base of the rack.
The Eaton STS then controls the redundancy of this electrical
power supply.
Both sources (primary and secondary) are connected, in a very
straightforward manner, to the STS in the base of the rack.
The Eaton STS then controls the redundancy of this electrical
power supply. If the primary source fails, transfer to the secondary
source is automatic and instantaneous.
Simple and cost-effective
Considering its advanced design, the price of the Eaton STS is
highly competitive compared with the ‘dual power supply’ options
available from suppliers of computer equipment.
1U high, the unit can be installed easily within the rack. Five LEDs
indicate the status of the sources and the Eaton STS.
Reliability
Designed to provide redundancy as close as possible to the
equipment, the Eaton STS deploys a ‘break before make’
technology based on relays:
• Intheeventofashort-circuit,theEatonSTSensuresthat
the fault cannot affect the alternative source, so that power
continues to be supplied to the fault-free equipment
• Poweristransferredwithoutoverlapofthesourcesinorder

power to the equipment from the remaining available source
