Socomec has released the ATyS P700 and P1000, two new intelligent automatic transfer switching devices designed for high-capacity power management. These units are now available for installation in environments like data centers where continuity is essential.
Why it matters
Reliable power switching is critical for preventing downtime in sensitive environments, and these devices integrate monitoring and control to help manage complex facility power loads. The release reflects a push for more automated power stability in modern data and healthcare infrastructures.
The ATyS P1000 features a contact transfer time of less than 100 ms and includes a class 0.5 electrical measurement device per IEC 61557-12 standards. The system handles 800 to 4000 A with a short-circuit withstand of 85 kA.
The players
Socomec
An industrial manufacturer with 5,200 employees that specializes in low-voltage electrical equipment and power management systems.
The details
The devices utilize an all-in-one design that combines transfer switching, source monitoring, and controller functions. The ATyS P1000 leverages a built-in synchronisation check for closed-transition switching—a method that prevents power interruptions by ensuring two sources are synchronized before the switch occurs—to maintain supply continuity.
Timeline
1922: Socomec was founded.
2025: The company reported a total turnover of 997 million Euros.
October 6, 2026: Socomec launched the ATyS P700 and P1000 switches.
The Tech Race
The ATyS P700 and P1000 launch adheres to IEC 60947-6-1, which defines the safety requirements for automatic transfer switching equipment. The release represents a move to standardize high-capacity power switching hardware in competitive data center markets.
Data center operators and facility managers can use these switches to automate source monitoring and power control. These units are designed to integrate directly into existing high-load infrastructure to reduce the risk of manual switching errors during power failures.
The takeaway
This launch highlights the ongoing industry focus on integrating monitoring functions directly into power switching hardware to increase uptime. Interested parties should monitor the Socomec official website for specific availability windows in their local markets.
