24A Automatic Transfer Switch
50A Static Transfer Switch
DCC-I RMATS
DCC-II RMSTS
DCC-III RMSTS
For highly mission critical applications where the cost of each outage is substantial and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) in excess of 60M hours is expected we recommend our RMSTS (rack mount static transfer switch). These are in use at many major data centers where each outage can cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, as well as at process control applications where an outage can affect an entire manufacturing or power plant’s production capability (which can also add up to millions in losses). For these applications we offer our DCC-II Dual Cord Converter 2-Pole Rack-Mount Static Transfer Switch (RMSTS). They are 2 pole solid state SCR based full featured static transfer switches in current ratings of 30A, 40A, and 50A at voltages of 100V, 120V, 208V, 220V, 230V, and 240V in 50Hz and 60Hz for worldwide use. For 3 phase, 4-wire applications we offer our DCC-III Dual Cord Converter 4-Pole Rack-Mount Static Transfer Switch (RMSTS) that comes in 208/120V, 50A, 18KW, 60Hz for high power rack applications. Dimensions are the same as the DCC-II unit except for being 10” longer. Weight is 65lb. Main features of both are:
-
Super Fast (1/4 cycle) SCR Based Static Transfer Switch for high availability mission critical applications with a high fault (22KA) rating that is certified to UL1008 Standards.
-
Transfers for all phase angle differences between sources.
-
MTBF > 60 million hours.
-
Continuous Duty 100% rated (i.e., a 30A switch is rated for 30A continuous and not just 24A at 80%).
-
TUV Certified to UL1008 and CSA for Static Transfer Switch Standards. CE Labeled for international use.
-
4U high construction with a Plug-in Electronic Module (EM) that plugs into an outer Built-in Bypass Isolation Module (BM) with a 7 Position Bypass Isolation Selector.
-
Built-in Voltage Suppression & Transient Protection to protect internal electronics.
-
Completely user settable and configurable.
-
Two isolated voltage-free summary alarm contacts.
-
Interlocks to prevent removal of the Electronic Module before Bypass Selector is in bypass isolate position and to not allow movement of selector if the EM has not been placed back into the unit after a maintenance action.

HIGHLY MISSION CRITICAL
Types of Rack-Mount Transfer Switches Offered By TwinSource
TwinSource offers two types of rack mount transfer switches for two applications. The two technologies can be used side by side for applications requiring different levels of reliability at the same data center.
The most critical applications would use our rack-mount static transfer switch (RMSTS), and the less critical ones would use our electromechanical rack-mounted automatic transfer switch (RMATS). “Static” is also referred to as “solid state.” Both offer benefits best suited to the specific application. These applications are:
LESS CRITICAL
For less critical applications where cost is a major consideration and the user is satisfied with an electromechanical type automatic transfer switch, we offer our DCC-I Dual Cord Converter Rack-Mount Automatic Transfer Switch. They are 2 pole, electromechanical rack-mounted automatic transfer switches (RMATS) in current rating of 12 and 24A, at voltages of 100V, 120V, 208V, 220V, 230V, and 240V in 50Hz and 60Hz for worldwide use. They use our unique patented MagLatch technology (Patent #: US 7,535,129) whereby we minimize any possibility of contact failures and cross connections due to contact arcing and pitting as observed in relays that use single coil relays with contact springs to retransfer back, vs. our dual coil relays with no contact springs and minimal arcing issues. Main features are:
-
Fast Transfer (1/2 cycle transfers for all in-phase & out of phase sources - unique to our patented technology) electromechanical design as a cost effective solution for a basic transfer switch, rated at 22KA with upstream protective devices.
-
Transfers for all phase angle differences between sources.
-
MTBF > 500,000 hours.
-
Continuous Duty 100% rated at 24A.
-
TUV Certified to meet UL-IEC 60950 Standards for both domestic and international use.
-
1U high construction (without bypass).
-
Completely user settable and configurable.
-
Standard Remote Contacts for monitoring of all status and alarms.
-
Waveform Capture - captures the waveform of the last transfer for diagnostic purposes and eliminates the need for costly rental of monitoring equipment in each rack.
