In always-on facilities—data centers, trading floors, and advanced manufacturing—power continuity underpins safety and productivity.

Even brief disturbances can corrupt data, halt production, and trigger costly recovery work. The effects linger in revenue, reputation, and equipment life.

Static transfer switches (STS) reduce that risk by moving critical loads to a healthy source in milliseconds. Choosing a proven design—and a partner that understands your environment—makes a measurable difference in uptime.

For more than two decades, the focus has been uptime, operator safety, and clear diagnostics. As infrastructure scales, that combination matters more than ever.

The Series 70 eSTS comes in 3-pole and 4-pole configurations to match distribution schemes and site standards. Both deliver fast, dependable transfers; 4-pole adds switched neutral for systems that require a consistent reference during a source change.

Every major investment is made with one purpose in mind: reliability. A fully automated in-house powder coating line raises finish quality, shortens lead times, and adds flexibility for custom work—improving both throughput and consistency.

Employees across three buildings rallied in a friendly competition to support Food2Share programs serving local families.

The three-week challenge culminated in a donation of 1,641 pounds of food and toiletries supporting weekend meal kits and senior outreach.

This contribution supports programs in Aurora and Mantua that provide nutritious meals and essential items for children and seniors.

Through “Fill a Bag, Feed a Family,” funds help supply food bags, educational resources, and community events.

INSIGHT IR® continuously monitors bolted connections using IR cameras, enabling remote, preventative maintenance across eSTS, PDUs, and power panels.

The result: clearer diagnostics, safer inspections, and higher uptime.

Students from multiple disciplines contributed to software tools, process improvements, and sustainability initiatives—bringing fresh ideas and measurable impact.

A new facility increases production capacity and supports a growing workforce while improving operational flow.

The site complements the headquarters expansion and underscores ongoing investment in reliability and service.

With perfect weather, the team gathered to view the eclipse together. Safety glasses were provided for employees and their families to enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime event.

Tour the new space before build-out. The expansion will house future production lines and test areas—designed for throughput, safety, and maintainability.

Permits secured, groundbreaking complete, and the new manufacturing facility under construction. The project nearly doubles capacity and creates new local jobs.

• Major permits secured
• Groundbreaking held
• New facility under construction
• Target completion: Q2 2024

QTS Data Centers recognized product performance and support that improve safety, operational efficiency, and uptime in mission-critical environments.

VDAT (Voltage Disruption Analysis Tool) transforms waveform data into clear, ITIC-based plots for faster decisions about power quality and root causes.

• Instant visualization of disturbances
• Intuitive interface for quick interpretation
• Root-cause context beyond raw waveforms
• Downloadable plots for reports

In seismic zones, standard gear may not withstand strong ground motion. Seismic-rated designs for transfer switches, PDUs, and panels help reduce downtime and improve safety during and after an event.

• Engineered to meet stringent seismic standards
• Minimizes outages and damage
• Supports code compliance
• Protects long-term equipment life

Thorough inspections, functional tests, and documentation help prevent unplanned outages and improve safety. Detailed records are maintained for traceability and continuous improvement.

Different backgrounds and perspectives strengthen teams. Ongoing initiatives aim to ensure every employee feels respected, heard, and empowered to contribute.

From incoming inspections to power-on tests, quality controls are embedded throughout fabrication, assembly, and verification—so equipment performs as intended in service.

• Rigorous test protocols at multiple stages
• Dedicated quality teams and documentation

Contactless thermal scans support safer inspections and predictive maintenance by highlighting abnormal temperature trends at bolted connections—without opening energized equipment.

• Enhanced safety and visibility
• Faster inspections and reporting
• Trend data for proactive service
