The PowerShield PSMBS2K (MBS Plus) is a maintenance bypass switch with a built-in hot-swap PDU (7 x 10 A IEC C13) for 1–2kVA PowerShield UPSs. It lets a technician service or replace the UPS at any hour without shutting down the connected equipment.

ARC IP Networks supplies the genuine PowerShield PSMBS2K in Australia with the full PowerShield Australian warranty (2 years) and Australia-wide delivery.

PowerShield PSMBS2K overview

A correctly designed maintenance bypass switch lets a technician work on a UPS without interrupting normal operations. In Bypass, the load runs from mains while the UPS is serviced; the UPS can then be removed and replaced without dropping power to the load. The PSMBS2K combines the switch with a 7 x 10 A IEC C13 PDU for distribution to your load.

It is rated for 1–2kVA UPSs and designed to attach to PowerShield Centurion RT and Commander RT models, but suits all UPS topologies (offline, line-interactive and online). It mounts in a rack horizontally or vertically (0RU), on a wall, or attached to the UPS. Input is 10 A IEC 320 C14 with a 10 A Australian plug to IEC 320 C13 lead, and two IEC 10 A cables connect it to the UPS input and output.
