Socomec has released the ATyS P700 and P1000, a new line of intelligent automatic transfer switching equipment. These devices aim to bolster power availability in high-stakes environments like data centers and healthcare facilities.
Why it matters
Reliable power management is essential for maintaining supply continuity in facilities that cannot afford downtime. These switches integrate monitoring and control functions to ensure power stability during critical operations.
The ATyS P700 and P1000 feature an all-in-one design with a contact transfer time under 100 ms and a short-circuit withstand capability reaching 85 kA. The P1000 model adds a class 0.5 electrical measurement device for precise power monitoring.
The players
Socomec
Socomec is a global specialist in low-voltage power performance that employs more than 5,200 experts worldwide.
The details
The devices combine transfer switching, source monitoring, and power control into a single unit to simplify management. The ATyS P1000 further supports closed-transition switching via a built-in synchronization check, ensuring seamless power transitions.
Timeline
Socomec was founded in 1922.
The company recorded a turnover of 997 million Euros in 2025.
The new switches were officially launched on October 6, 2026.
The Tech Race
This release reflects the industry-wide push toward integrating complex power management directly into hardware components. As demand for resilient data center infrastructure grows, manufacturers are replacing manual monitoring with all-in-one automated control systems.
For facility managers, this all-in-one design reduces the complexity of installing separate power control and monitoring units. The integration of synchronized switching helps maintain stable uptime for critical hardware, reducing the risk of costly power-related service disruptions.
The takeaway
These devices represent a shift toward high-speed, integrated power management systems in critical infrastructure. Operators should prioritize equipment that combines monitoring and transfer functions to ensure maximum reliability during source transitions.
