Introduction and System Description

1.0INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Congratulations on your choice of the Liebert MP2-220N POD™ (3U POD). The 3U POD provides maintenance bypass capability as well as power output distribution. The 3U POD can be used on UPSs in the rack mount or tower configuration.

The 3U POD provides an isolated path of power for your UPS system for preventive maintenance or service. As shipped, cords and receptacles provide ready to use UTILITY and LOAD connections. Optionally, the utility input and/or the load output may be converted to hardwiring,

1.1System Description

The 3U POD has two modes of operation: UPS (UPS available) and UTILITY (maintenance bypass).

In UPS mode, the power is routed through the UPS system delivering conditioned power to the load, as shown in Figure 1.
