Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rack transfer switch and why do I need one?
A rack transfer switch provides redundant power distribution to single-corded devices by connecting to two independent power sources. The VA1N2201 automatically detects power loss on the primary input and switches to the secondary source, eliminating downtime caused by power failures and ensuring continuous operation of critical equipment.
How does the Vertiv PowerIT VA1N2201 handle automatic failover?
The Vertiv PowerIT VA1N2201 continuously monitors both power inputs using automatic sensing technology. When it detects a loss of power on the active source, it instantly switches the connected load to the alternate power input without manual intervention, providing seamless redundancy for mission-critical devices.
Is the VA1N2201 compatible with standard 19-inch server racks?
Yes, the Vertiv PowerIT VA1N2201 rack transfer switch is designed for standard 19-inch (483 mm) rack cabinets. Its compact form factor and dual 10 ft power cords with L5-20P connectors make it easy to integrate into existing data center infrastructure.
What devices can the 20A 120V RTS power?
The 20A, 120V Vertiv PowerIT VA1N2201 with 1.9kW capacity is ideal for powering single-corded servers, network switches, storage devices, and other rack-mounted equipment that require redundant power protection in data centers and server rooms.
