A Bypass Panel is a critical auxiliary panel used in electrical systems to provide an alternate power path that allows maintenance or replacement of key equipment—such as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch)—without interrupting power to the connected load. By enabling isolation of the main equipment while keeping downstream systems energized, bypass panels play a vital role in ensuring system uptime, operational continuity, and safe serviceability.
Typical use cases include UPS Bypass Panels, which allow power to flow directly from the mains to the load when the UPS is undergoing maintenance, and ATS Bypass Panels, which enable manual switching in case the automatic transfer switch fails or requires servicing. The panel is equipped with key components such as isolation breakers or switches, a bypass switch, interlocking mechanisms to prevent unsafe operations, and status indicators (LEDs, meters) for visual monitoring.
Bypass panels enhance system resilience by offering continuous power supply, safe isolation of critical equipment, and increased reliability during scheduled or emergency maintenance. At Amtech Power, we design and supply robust Bypass Panels tailored to specific applications, ensuring seamless integration with UPS, ATS, and other critical systems—without compromising on safety or performance.
