Now available across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), the PowerSwitch 7000 strengthens Vertiv’s position as a comprehensive power solutions provider, expanding its end-to-end infrastructure offerings for the always-on digital world.
Unmatched Power Continuity and Redundancy
The Vertiv PowerSwitch 7000 is engineered to operate downstream from redundant uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems in dual-bus and reserve bus power architectures, ensuring continuous power delivery to mission-critical systems. The switch enables automatic, high-speed transfers between two independent power sources—ideal for colocation and enterprise data centres that cannot tolerate power loss.
The system supports both single-corded and dual-corded loads, offering superior redundancy. Its internally redundant architecture eliminates single points of failure, making it one of the most reliable static transfer switches in the market today.
“Power protection and reliability are increasingly critical concerns for data centre operators, especially as computing demands surge,” said Greg Hoge, Global Director of Product Management at Vertiv.
Smart Design, Maximum Uptime
The PowerSwitch 7000 offers several innovative features that enhance safety, serviceability, and installation flexibility:
- Compartmentalised design separates high-voltage components for safer maintenance
- Front-access panels allow service without downtime
- Modular SCRs, hot-swappable fans, and tool-free air filters reduce maintenance time
- Top and bottom cable entry support raised or non-raised floor deployments
Advanced Diagnostics & Secure Remote Monitoring
The unit features a 9-inch colour touchscreen with waveform capture capabilities, enabling real-time analysis and root cause diagnostics of transfer events. Integrated Vertiv™Intellislot™ RDU120 delivers secure, remote monitoring capabilities with UL2900-1 cybersecurity certification—giving facility managers full visibility into power status and disturbances from anywhere.
“With intelligent diagnostics, serviceability, and flexible installation, the PowerSwitch 7000 raises the bar for power switching excellence.”
Seamless Integration Across Vertiv Power Ecosystem
The PowerSwitch 7000 integrates seamlessly with Vertiv’s broader suite of power management solutions, including UPS systems, rack PDUs, and power distribution systems—forming a complete ecosystem for critical power continuity. Backed by Vertiv™ Global Services, organizations benefit from expert support, lifecycle services, and proactive maintenance to ensure operational uptime.
