3.3.9Maintenance Bypass

Maintenance Bypass switchgear allows you to totally isolate the UPS from all power sources, while you maintain power to the critical load.

Your installation may have a two-breaker or three-breaker maintenance bypass or none at all. The main difference between a two-breaker and three-breaker maintenance bypass is the location of the Bypass Input Breaker (BIB).

Another option that may be present at your site is an alternate power source (generator) and an auto- matic transfer switch (ATS).

Note that to totally isolate the UPS system from all power sources, the Main Input switchgear and battery circuit breakers must also be opened.

! CAUTION

Instructions for operating the Maintenance Bypass circuit breakers are on the Maintenance Bypass cabinet. Make sure you understand the proper sequence before operating any circuit breaker. Operating a Maintenance Bypass circuit breaker out of sequence could cut off power to the critical load.
