APC by Schneider Electric SBP1500RM Maintenance Bypass Panel
Overview
The APC SBP1500RM is a 120V maintenance bypass panel designed to isolate connected equipment from a UPS system for servicing without interrupting power. It features a standard NEMA 5-15P input plug and provides 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets for load distribution. This panel is critical for environments requiring continuous uptime, such as server rooms or network closets, where UPS maintenance must not cause downtime.
Compatibility
This maintenance bypass panel is engineered to work with APC Smart-UPS 1500VA models that utilize a 120V, NEMA 5-15P input connection. It is specifically designed to integrate with UPS units rated up to 1500 VA and 15A maximum input current. Ensure your UPS model's input plug and power capacity align with the SBP1500RM specifications before deployment.
Installation Notes
The unit operates within a 0-40°C temperature range and 0-95% non-condensing humidity. It requires a standard 120V AC input and delivers the same nominal output voltage. The panel's maximum input and total current draw are both limited to 15A, aligning with typical NEMA 5-15P circuit capabilities. Ensure the connected UPS and its load do not exceed these ratings to prevent overload.
