APC by Schneider Electric SBP16KRMP4U Bypass Switch
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric SBP16KRMP4U is a 4U rack-mountable bypass switch designed to provide critical uptime for sensitive IT infrastructure. This unit allows for maintenance or replacement of connected UPS systems without interrupting power to the load. It is engineered for environments requiring robust power continuity, such as data centers, server rooms, and critical network closets. The SBP16KRMP4U handles a substantial 20000 VA load capacity and supports nominal 208V input across a 50-60 Hz frequency range.
Compatibility
This bypass switch is designed for use with APC Smart-UPS Online, Symmetra LX, and other compatible UPS systems that utilize L14-30R output connectors and require hardwired 3-wire (2PH + G) or 4-wire (2PH+N+G) input power. It is suitable for integration with APC's broader power protection ecosystem, ensuring seamless failover capabilities within established APC deployments. Verify your UPS model's output connector type and input power requirements against the SBP16KRMP4U specifications for guaranteed compatibility.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a qualified electrician familiar with high-voltage wiring. The unit accepts hardwired input connections, supporting both 3-wire (2 Phase + Ground) and 4-wire (2 Phase + Neutral + Ground) configurations. It provides six NEMA L14-30R output receptacles, each rated for 30A. The operating temperature range is -20 to 50°C (0 to 95% non-condensing humidity), with storage temperatures from -40 to 65°C. The maximum input current per phase is 100A.
