Save money and space in the data center or network operations center. Three functions in one cabinet: power transformation, distribution and maintenance bypass.

The new addition to Eaton's line of data center solutions, the Eaton® BladeUPS® Maintenance Bypass Cabinet (MBC) integrates several essential functions into a single cabinet that uses precious floor space to your best advantage.

• Step down utility power from 480V to 208/120V to provide electrical isolation and appropriate input voltage for the Eaton BladeUPS (or other manufacturer's UPS) modules that protect your IT and communications equipment.
• Eaton has standardized on the high-efficiency TP-1 transformer, which meets the U.S. Department of Energy standard for the Energy Star program. With high efficiency even at low loads, the TP-1 transformer yields significant savings in utility bills. Furthermore, an energy-efficient transformer dissipates less heat, which reduces data center cooling costs.
• Distribute power from a full rack of Eaton BladeUPS modules to IT equipment—up to 84 pole positions and a perfect match of kVA rating. By housing full-featured power distribution in the same freestanding cabinet as the maintenance bypass, this new MBC saves scarce wall space and valuable IT rack space.
• Perform service, testing and maintenance on a full rack of Eaton BladeUPS modules without interrupting power to the critical load. The integral maintenance bypass is a mechanical way to bypass the internal components of the UPS while still sending utility power to the load. If something inside the UPS must be repaired, it can be completely isolated from utility power so a technician can safely perform service without voltage present.

All of these capabilities are integrated into one textured, black steel cabinet that harmonizes with modern data center designs, both in proportions and appearance. Key components are Cutler-Hammer manufactured for proven performance, and the entire unit comes as a complete, factory-tested package for added peace of mind.
