Bypass switch CyberPower MBP20HVDE3 Rack-mount Black 200-240V 16A

The CyberPower MBP20HVDE3 Rack-mount bypass switch is a compact, standards-compliant device intended for 200–240V, 16A power environments. Housed in a black rack-compatible enclosure with a 1U profile, it provides a manual bypass path to maintain uninterrupted power to connected equipment during maintenance or UPS replacement. The unit meets CE and RoHS directives and fits common 19-inch rack installations with its 433 mm width and shallow depth.

Advantages

The design allows quick and safe transfer of load to a bypass line without interrupting power to critical equipment. Its 1U rack form factor and compact depth enable installation in space-constrained racks. Compliance with CE and RoHS ensures adherence to relevant safety and environmental requirements. The front-access controls and clear status markings make operation straightforward for technicians during service procedures.

Suitable for

• Data center racks requiring manual bypass solutions during UPS replacement
• Server cabinets where limited depth and 1U height are important
• Network closets and telecommunication racks with 200–240V power distribution
• IT maintenance workflows that require a reliable means to transfer load without shutdown

Key specifications

• Input voltage range: 200–240 V
• Rated current: 16 A
• Form factor: rack-mount, 1U height
• Color: black
• Compliance: CE, RoHS
• Mounting width: 433 mm (fits standard 19-inch racks)
• Depth: 76 mm
• Height: 51 mm

How to use

Install the bypass switch into a compatible 19-inch rack using appropriate mounting hardware. Connect the incoming mains and the load circuits according to the site electrical plan, ensuring breaker protection and correct polarity. During UPS service or replacement, operate the front-access transfer mechanism to switch the load onto the bypass path; confirm continuity and load status before disconnecting the UPS. After maintenance, return the load to the UPS by reversing the transfer procedure and verify normal operation.

Recommendations

Use qualified personnel for installation and operation. Verify that the rack power distribution and upstream protection are rated for 200–240 V and 16 A. Regularly inspect connections and mounting hardware, and follow local electrical codes and safety practices when performing bypass operations.
