Overview
- The APC NetShelter AP4424A is a fifth-generation automatic transfer switch purpose-built for IT rack environments. It seamlessly switches single-corded equipment loads between two independent power sources, eliminating downtime during utility or source failures. With a 7400VA capacity and 32A rated current at 230V, it supports demanding rack configurations whilst maintaining compact 2U dimensions.
Management and monitoring are enhanced by the integrated APC NMC3 card, enabling secure web-based access, SNMP integration, and full CLI control. The switch is fully compatible with EcoStruxure IT, providing unified visibility across your infrastructure. Built-in circuit breaker protection, dual IEC 309 inlets, and 18 output sockets (16 C13 and 2 C19) accommodate mixed equipment loads typical in modern data centres.
Designed for high-availability environments, the AP4424A operates reliably across -5°C to 45°C and supports both 50Hz and 60Hz power frequencies, making it suitable for Australian deployments with international scalability.

FAQs
What is an automatic transfer switch and why do I need one in my data centre?
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) seamlessly transfers power loads between two independent sources (e.g. mains and generator) in milliseconds, eliminating downtime during power failures. It ensures single-corded equipment remains powered continuously, protecting mission-critical IT infrastructure.
How many devices can the APC AP4424A support?
The AP4424A provides 18 output outlets (16 C13 and 2 C19) with a 7400VA capacity at 230V. The exact number of devices depends on individual power consumption; IT professionals should calculate total load against the 32A limit.
Can I monitor and manage the ATS remotely?
Yes. The integrated APC NMC3 card enables secure web-based access, SNMP monitoring, and CLI management from anywhere. It also integrates with EcoStruxure IT for unified infrastructure visibility.
What is the switchover time during a power failure?
The AP4424A provides automatic failover with minimal switching time typical of APC ATS devices. Exact switchover specifications are available in the detailed technical documentation.
Is this ATS compatible with both Australian and international power standards?
Yes. The AP4424A supports 50/60Hz operation, compatible with Australian 230V single-phase power. It also operates across 207–253V, providing flexibility for variable supply conditions.
What mounting options are available?
The 2U ATS is designed for 19-inch rack mounting and is compatible with APC NetShelter frames AP7768 and AP7769. Mounting hardware and brackets are included.
Does the ATS include circuit breaker protection?
Yes, the AP4424A features built-in circuit breaker protection to safeguard connected equipment from overcurrent conditions.
