Product Features
Technical Overview
This maintenance bypass panel operates with a 40 kW load capacity, handling 80 A current at 220 V AC input voltage. The wall-mountable form factor is designed for secure installation in server rooms, data centers, or industrial environments where space optimization and accessibility are priorities. The panel's construction includes three built-in circuit breakers that provide overcurrent protection and facilitate safe switching between UPS and bypass modes.
The Kirk Key interlock mechanism is a key safety feature, ensuring that the bypass panel cannot be operated while the UPS is online, reducing the risk of electrical hazards during maintenance. Compatibility is specifically designed for Tripp Lite 3-phase UPS systems, particularly the SU40KX model, ensuring seamless integration with existing power infrastructure.
This section brings together practical product details such as Load Capacity (VA), Input Voltage, Current, Form Factor, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
