Beware of Transformer and Static Transfer Switch Location in Critical Environments

Editor’s Note: This is the author’s follow-up to his June 2005 Pure Power article, Location, Location, Location . This sequel provides some further observations on the importance of being cautious and aware of proper transformer and static transfer switch location in critical environments. As stated in the first article on this subject, a means of transferring between sources of power within the confines of the CBEMA (Computer Business Manufactures Association) or ITI curve is essential in critical environments that require high levels of site availability.
