APC by Schneider Electric AP4422A Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP4422A is a 230V, 16A Rack Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) designed to provide redundant power to critical IT infrastructure. It allows you to connect a single device with one power cord to two separate power sources (e.g., two different PDUs or UPS systems). If the primary power source fails, the AP4422A automatically switches to the secondary source, ensuring continuous operation for connected equipment. This unit is ideal for rack-mounted servers, network switches, and other sensitive IT gear where uptime is paramount. The AP4422A features two IEC 309 16A input connectors and one IEC 309 16A output connector.

Compatibility

This Rack ATS is designed for use with standard 230V IT equipment that utilizes IEC 309 16A power connectors. It is compatible with APC's line of Smart-UPS, Easy UPS, and Symmetra UPS systems, as well as any other reliable 230V power source that provides IEC 309 16A connections. It is suitable for deployment in standard 19-inch server racks.

Installation Notes

Ensure both input power sources are stable and correctly phased before connecting the AP4422A. The unit requires a dedicated circuit for each input to guarantee true power redundancy. Verify that the total load of connected equipment does not exceed the 16A output rating. Use appropriate torque settings when securing the IEC 309 connectors to prevent loose connections.
