Cap-Ex, Op-Ex, and Energy Savings by Using an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) instead of an UPS

In applications where there is more than one AC power source, automatic transfer switches (ATS) can be used as a battery-less UPS system. It will provide higher reliability AC power to mission-critical loads at substantially lower cost compared to a traditional UPS (interruptible power supply) system that uses batteries.
