A bypass switch is a great tool to add to your arsenal of power protection. When it comes to maintenance, repairs and replacements of your backup power protection systems you will find the bypass switch particularly useful for the smooth transitions and efficiency of keeping your
business online during this need to transition.
The disadvantages of not having a bypass switch in place come in many forms, here we have broken down the disadvantages you might be currently facing if you do not have an external bypass switch installed.
Unable to Isolate UPS for Repairs
An external maintenance bypass switch allows you to isolate your UPS unit from the load while still providing power to the connected equipment. The disadvantage of not having a switch in this case is the complex and time consuming process of isolating the UPS unit manually.
When a UPS system is put back online there is a risk of overloading the unit. A bypass switch can help remove the problem of a surge of power to stop the power from exceeding the UPS system capacity.
Complex Emergencies
Having an external maintenance bypass switch (EMBS) will make emergency situations simple and quicker. The scenario of these situations is where rapid disconnection or reconnection of a UPS System is critical. Without the EMBS you will find it very difficult to conduct these rapid disconnect or reconnection. A UPS unit may need to be rapidly disconnected or reconnected for several emergencies.
Limited Flexibility in UPS Upgrades
Upgrading a UPS unit undergoes the same steps as maintenance and will require the UPS to be isolated for ease. Having a bypass switch in place will allow more flexibility for UPS upgrades which is advantageous to businesses that have busy schedules and require constant power.
