Unità di distribuzione dell'alimentazione Eaton EATS16

The Eaton EATS16 Power Source Transfer Switch is a 1U rackmount unit designed to provide seamless power transfer and redundancy for single-input IT equipment. It enables connection of two independent power sources to devices that have only one power input, ensuring continuous operation if the primary source fails. The unit includes metering and basic configuration via an integrated LCD and is available in network-enabled variants (ATS 16 Netpack and ATS 30) for remote access and management.

Advantages

The Eaton EATS16 offers automatic and instantaneous transfer between primary and secondary power sources to protect critical equipment without requiring dual power supplies on the device. Its compact 1U form factor fits standard racks and is cost-effective compared with equipping devices with redundant internal power supplies. The built-in LCD provides local metering and basic configuration, while network-capable models allow remote monitoring and control.

Suitable for

• Small to medium rack deployments with single-input servers or network devices
• Edge and branch office racks where redundant utility or generator feeds are available
• Environments that require simple, space-efficient power redundancy without replacing existing equipment

• PDU type: Basic

How to use

Install the EATS16 in a standard 19-inch rack occupying 1U of space. Connect the primary and secondary power sources to the designated input terminals at the rear of the unit and then connect your single-input IT equipment to the unit’s AC outlets (C13/C19). Configure basic settings and view metering information using the front-panel LCD. For models with network capability (Netpack/ATS 30), connect the management port to your network to enable remote configuration and monitoring.

Recommendations

Place the unit in the base of the rack close to power feed points to minimize cable lengths and reduce voltage drop. Verify that the combined load on the EATS16 does not exceed the 16 A maximum current rating and follow local electrical codes when wiring primary and secondary supplies.
