3.2.10 Maintenance Bypass
Maintenance Bypass switchgear (cabinet, panelboard, switchboard or custom switchgear) allows you to totally
isolate the UPS system from all power sources, while you maintain power to the critical load.
Your installation may have a two-breaker, three-breaker, or four-breaker Maintenance Bypass, or none at all.
The main differences are the locations of the Rectifier Input Breaker and the Bypass Input Breaker (BIB).
Another option that may be present at your site is an alternate power source (generator) and an automatic 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.
