Possibly.  I have only ever used them for devices that have only one power supply.  All of the impacted equipment had 2 supplies.  I think breaker tripping below it's rating is the biggest issue.  One of the Cologix techs mentioned to me that since the power strip was on the back (hot) side of the rack, the increased temp might have allowed it to trip easier than expected.

Would an ATS that was between the power strips and each piece of gear have helped?

We use them quite successfully.

The powerstrip that had the breaker trip is being replaced with one that is slower acting to last through the surge that happens when all power transferred from the B to the A side.  I also agree with Dean that we need to diversify MICE some more.

That's unfortunate!  Since this could easily happen again, what could be done to troubleshoot and/or mitigate the issue?

When half of the power was taken down for maintenance, it caused a surge on the remaining side that tripped the breaker even though the circuit runs at less than 80% under failure conditions.  The breaker has been reset, and things are coming back online.

Cologix has done power maintenance in Suite 100 that has inadvertently
affected the MN VoIP remote switch as well as most of the MICE
monitoring.

This has isolated the SFN Remote Switch in Albert Lea. Cologix is
investigating. No ETTR yet.
