Viewed from a lifecycle perspective, a standard online UPS system isn't truly uninterruptible. At some point it will be necessary to take the UPS off line for maintenance—and that means costly system downtime. But with Eaton's Hot-Swap Solutions, the UPS can be repaired or replaced at any time, while keeping connected mission-critical equipment powered and fully operational.
Eaton offers Hot-Swap PDUs, which make any UPS hot-swappable, as well as Hot-Swappable Modular UPS Systems, which integrate a detachable Hot-Swap PDU. The key component of the hot-swappable design is a modular power distribution unit (PDU) that combines all input and output power connections with a manual bypass switch. The dual input and manual bypass features of the PDU enable UPS system maintenance–from battery replacement to complete power module exchange–without powering down connected mission-critical equipment and hiring costly service specialists.
SmartOnline hot-swappable modular UPS systems feature a modular power distribution unit (PDU) that combines all input and output power connections with a manual bypass switch. Facility personnel can set the switch to bypass to allow live UPS maintenance. This eliminates power-related downtime and guarantees that power is never the weak link in high-availability systems.
