SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• Field-installable output distribution kits
The Liebert UPStation GXT 6 kVA Maintenance
Bypass is intended for use with the UPStation GXT
6 kVA UPS. Typical applications include
supporting workstations, servers, network, telecom
or other sensitive electronic equipment.
The UPStation GXT 6 kVA Maintenance Bypass
was designed to provide maximum system
availability to business-critical equipment. The
bypass allows for transfer of connected loads to an
alternate power path, allowing full isolation of the
UPS. After connected loads are switched to
alternate power and the UPS is isolated, the UPS
can be turned off and removed from service with
no interruption of power to connected loads.
The Configurable Output Distribution was
designed to provide maximum flexibility to
business-critical equipment.
Various output receptacle options are available
from 15 A to 30 A. Hardwire options are also
available with a branch rated circuit breaker.
NOTE
The 120V loads need to be balanced on
the UPS output. To do this, when
connecting 120V equipment to the
Maintenance Bypass (MB), start at one
end of the MB and fill in toward the
other end.
