3.2 Modes of Operation
This section illustrates the flow of power through circuit breakers, switches, and UPS components during various
modes of operation. An SCCB with three modules is shown. The same modes of operation apply to all configu-
rations of the Liebert Series 600T UPS multi-module system. Highlighted (thick) lines in the diagrams indicate
power flow and power availability.
These illustrations show a three-breaker maintenance bypass because it is most commonly used. Your installa-
tion may have a two-breaker, three-breaker, or four-breaker maintenance bypass, or none at all.
These illustrations do not show an alternate power source (generator) and automatic transfer switch (external to
the UPS) that might be present at your installation.
The following circuit breaker abbreviations are used:
3.2.1 Load On Bypass
Load on Bypass, with the UPS not available, is shown in Figure 47. The UPS system could be in this mode of
operation during either initial start-up or UPS system shutdown and isolation for maintenance.
