7.3.1Maintenance Bypass Mode (Optional)

The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system can be manually transferred to maintenance bypass if the System Maintenance Bypass (SMB) has been provided. Maintenance bypass is used when the system is not operating or is in need of service. The maintenance bypass source supplies the commercial AC power to the load directly. The SMB is configured with electrical interlocks.

CAUTION:

The critical load is not protected while the Parallel Capacity/Redundant

system is in Maintenance Bypass mode.

Figure 7---6 shows the path of electrical power through the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system when operating in Maintenance Bypass mode.
