Abstract
A maintenance bypass (MBP) system for an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) includes a first switch having at least three positions that provide different couplings of a power source, a load, a power input of a UPS and a power output of a UPS and including a first contact set configured to indicate at least one transition between positions of the at least three positions. The system further includes a second switch configured to enable transition of the first switch between at least two of the positions and including a second contact set configured to indicate actuation of the second switch. The first switch may include a rotary switch and the second switch may include a pushbutton switch.
