Static Bypass Switches

Bypass switches are crucial components in UPS systems supporting critical loads.

The bypass switch allows you to switch the UPS off for maintenance, without cutting power to the load. When the switch is activated, the mains supply is redirected away from the UPS, and direct to the load. The UPS can then be serviced, and any maintenance work can be carried out, without disturbing the load. Once the UPS is ready to be switched back on, the bypass switch is deactivated, and the supply is redirected back to the UPS - The load recieves the high quality UPS supply again.

All of our UPS systems can be supplied with a bypass switch. We can also supply bypass switches for your own UPS if required.
