Bypass Switch Products Available From FYIND Suppliers

What Types of Bypass Switches Are Available in Saudi Arabia?

• Short Answer: Saudi suppliers offer UPS maintenance bypass switches, external bypass panels, rack bypass switches, manual changeover switches, ATS with bypass isolation, static transfer switches, VFD bypass panels and network bypass switches.
• Why the Type Matters: Each one bypasses a different piece of equipment. A UPS bypass will not do the job of a generator changeover, and a manual switch is not fast enough for IT loads that need a static transfer switch.
• How to Use This Section: Find the equipment you need to bypass, check the points listed, then contact the supplier named under each type with your kVA or amp rating.

UPS Maintenance Bypass Switch For Servicing A UPS Without Shutting Down The Load

• What It Is: A switch, usually rotary or a set of interlocked breakers, that connects the load straight to mains so the UPS can be switched off.
• Problem It Solves: Without it, every battery change, repair or UPS replacement means shutting down servers, medical equipment or production.
• How It Works: Make-before-break contacts close the bypass path before opening the UPS output, so the load never loses power.
• Where It Is Used: Server rooms, data centres, hospitals, banks, telecom rooms and control rooms.
• What to Check: UPS brand and model, kVA, input and output phase, voltage, cable sizes and whether the UPS has a separate bypass input.
• Buying Tip: Choose a bypass made for your UPS brand, or one with matching ratings and interlocks.

External Wraparound Bypass Panel For Three-Phase UPS Systems

• What It Is: A wall or floor-standing panel with UPS input, UPS output and bypass breakers, wrapped around the UPS.
• Problem It Solves: Lets you remove or replace the whole UPS, not just service it, because power flows through the panel and not the UPS.
• Common Designs: Two-breaker (input and bypass), three-breaker (input, output, bypass) and four-breaker with a load-bank test breaker.
• Where It Is Used: Three-phase UPS from about 10 to 400 kVA and above in data centres and hospitals.
• What to Check: kVA, breaker ratings, interlocking (key or mechanical), cable entry and space.
• Supplier Tip: Ghad Al Taqat builds bypass panels; Cloud Networks installs bypass with new UPS projects.

Rack-Mount Bypass Switch For Server Racks And Small UPS Units

• What It Is: A 1U or 2U bypass unit that sits in the rack between the UPS and the PDU.
• Problem It Solves: Allows hot-swapping a 1–10 kVA rack UPS without shutting down servers.
• Where It Is Used: IT racks, edge computing, network cabinets and branch offices.
• What to Check: UPS kVA, input plug type, output sockets and rack space.
• Supplier Tip: Ask Cloud Networks for a model matched to your APC, Eaton or Vertiv rack UPS.

Manual Changeover Bypass Switch For Mains And Generator Supply

• What It Is: A 1-0-2 switch that selects source 1, off or source 2 by hand, usually mains and generator.
• Problem It Solves: Gives a simple, safe way to move a building or machine to generator power and prevents both sources connecting at once.
• Ratings: Commonly 32 A to 3,200 A, 3 or 4 pole, with padlockable handles.
• Where It Is Used: Villas, shops, workshops, farms, site cabins and as a manual bypass for an ATS.
• What to Check: Amp rating, number of poles (4 pole when the neutral is switched), mounting and enclosure.
• Supplier Tip: Ghad Al Taqat supplies changeover panels with generators.

Available From: Ghad Al Taqat (Riyadh): +966 11 261 1417

Automatic Transfer Switch With Bypass Isolation For Critical Power

• What It Is: An ATS that has a second, manual bypass switch built in, so the ATS can be isolated and drawn out while the load stays on.
• Problem It Solves: A standard ATS must be de-energised for testing or repair, which interrupts critical loads; bypass isolation avoids this.
• Where It Is Used: Hospitals, data centres, airports and emergency systems where codes require maintainability.
• What to Check: Amp rating, open or closed transition, number of poles, withdrawable design and controller.
• Supplier Tip: alfanar manufactures EletraGear ATS panels; confirm the bypass isolation option in your specification.

Static Transfer Switch For Fast Transfer Between Two Power Sources

• What It Is: A solid-state switch (STS) that transfers a load between two independent sources in about a quarter cycle (4–8 ms).
• Problem It Solves: Single-corded IT equipment would crash during a mechanical transfer; an STS is fast enough to keep it running.
• Bypass Inside an STS: Good STS units include their own maintenance bypass so the STS itself can be serviced.
• Where It Is Used: Data centres with dual UPS paths, telecom and process control.
• What to Check: Amp rating, transfer time, synchronisation of the two sources and rack or floor model.

Bypass Switch Ratings and Sizes Available From Saudi Suppliers

• How Bypass Switches Are Rated: UPS bypass switches are rated by UPS kVA and amps; changeover and ATS units by amps, poles and voltage.
• Quick Conversion: Three-phase amps ≈ kVA × 1,000 ÷ (1.732 × 400 V). For example, a 100 kVA UPS draws about 145 A, so you need a bypass rated 160 A or more.
• Saudi Voltages: Most buildings use 400/230 V or 380/220 V, 60 Hz; some older sites use 220/127 V, so always confirm.
