APC Service Bypass Panel 100-240V, 30A, BBM, Hardwire Input/Output

Overview

The APC SBP3000 is a service bypass panel designed to maintain continuous power to critical equipment while servicing or replacing an APC UPS. It supports input and output voltages of 100, 120, or 230 volts and handles up to 30 amps through a hardwired three-conductor connection. This panel ensures uninterrupted power transfer between utility power and the UPS, eliminating planned downtime for servers, network switches, and other sensitive devices.

Its compact 2U rack size and included mounting brackets allow flexible installation on racks or walls, making it suitable for data centers, branch offices, and industrial control rooms. The built-in circuit breaker provides over-current protection, and the panel operates at 99 percent efficiency to minimize energy loss during normal use.
