- Description
Description
The Ablerex RacPDU230 is an external maintenance bypass switch (MTBS) / power distribution unit designed to allow manual switching of a connected load from the UPS output to utility (mains) bypass. This enables servicing or maintenance of the UPS without interrupting the critical load.
It is intended for rack‑ or wall‑mounted installations and is especially suited for mid‑sized UPS installations (for example about 6 kVA systems) according to the catalogue.
