FAQ
What is the purpose of a maintenance bypass switch?
A maintenance bypass switch allows you to safely bypass connected equipment during maintenance or service procedures while keeping power flowing to downstream devices. This prevents service interruptions and enables maintenance personnel to work on power distribution equipment without disrupting connected servers, networking gear, or other critical infrastructure.
What input voltage does the MP2-130HW support?
The Liebert MicroPOD MP2-130HW maintenance bypass switch accepts 110V AC input voltage. This standard North American voltage allows the switch to integrate seamlessly with typical single-phase power infrastructures found in data centers, server rooms, and commercial facilities across the United States and Canada.
What output does this bypass switch provide?
The MP2-130HW delivers 120V AC output at 24A current capacity. This output configuration matches standard North American power requirements for most rack-mounted equipment, including servers, network switches, storage arrays, and other data center infrastructure that operates on 120V AC power.
How is this switch mounted in a rack?
The MP2-130HW features a 2U rack-mountable form factor with standard dimensions that fit 19-inch rack enclosures. The unit measures 3.50 inches in height (2U), 17 inches in width, and 3.50 inches in depth, making it compatible with standard data center racks and server cabinets for professional installation.
What types of electrical protection does this switch include?
The MP2-130HW maintenance bypass switch incorporates both surge protection and over-current protection. The surge protection safeguards connected equipment against voltage spikes and transient electrical events, while the over-current protection prevents damage from excessive current draw, ensuring reliable operation of downstream devices.
What connections are available on this bypass switch?
The MP2-130HW provides two connection options: one NEMA 5-30R receptacle and one hardwired connection point. The NEMA 5-30R receptacle accepts standard 30A plugs, while the hardwired option allows for permanent electrical connections, providing flexibility for different installation requirements in data centers and equipment rooms.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
