Maintenance Bypass Switches
An external UPS Bypass Switch is an essential element of your emergency power solution if you always want to avoid downtime, not matter what problems you might encounter.
Although uninterruptible power supplies are usually very resilient and reliable, there can sometimes be a need to externally bypass the UPS to safely carry out servicing or repairs to the system without causing disruption to the connected load.
With an external maintenance bypass switch as part of your back up power solution, you can quickly and easily divert the mains supply around the UPS, supplying power straight to the load without downtime. Repairs can be carried out to the UPS while your business continues to operate as normal.
When the UPS repair has been completed the bypass can be switched back to UPS mode and the UPS can be placed back in to normal operation so your load is again fully protected.
Source UPS can supply a range of external UPS bypass switches for all types of uninterruptible power supply from 1kVA single phase up to 300kVA 3 phase in rack mountable or wall mountable options.
Our UPS bypass switch range can be supplied for use with a solitary UPS system, a parallel UPS system and with auxiliary contacts and castell interlocks for extra safety and security.
