APC Service Bypass Panel (SBP Series) — UPS Maintenance Bypass
These are APC Maintenance Bypass Panels, used when a UPS needs servicing. APC's wording differs by model: it says the SBP3000RMI isolates the UPS from the critical load, the SBP3000RMHW is a wrap-around system for that, the SBP5000RMI2U and SBP6KRMI2U have a bypass switch for safe maintenance, and the SBP16KRMI4U allows UPS maintenance without load interruption. Six models from 1500VA to 20000VA, all rack-mounted: 2U for five of them and 4U for the SBP16KRMI4U. Some have IEC outlets and some are hardwired, so see the compare table and spec tab. Supplied by AtomOffice in Dubai with same-day delivery in Dubai, next-day across the UAE, and a VAT invoice on every order.

Key Features
Bypass Panels for UPS Maintenance
All six sit in APC's Maintenance Bypass Panels range. APC says the SBP3000RMI isolates the UPS from the critical load, the SBP3000RMHW is a wrap-around system for that, the SBP5000RMI2U and SBP6KRMI2U have a bypass switch for safe maintenance, and the SBP16KRMI4U allows UPS maintenance without load interruption.
Six Models, Four Ratings
The range covers 1500VA (10A), 3000VA (16A, two models), 7680VA (32A, two models) and 20000VA (100A). The SBP5000RMI2U and SBP6KRMI2U share the same 7680VA rating in APC's data.
IEC Sockets or Hardwire
SBP1500RMI, SBP3000RMI, SBP5000RMI2U and SBP6KRMI2U have IEC outlets; SBP3000RMHW and SBP16KRMI4U have hardwired output. The SBP5000RMI2U, SBP6KRMI2U and SBP16KRMI4U also have a hardwire input. The compare table shows each model's output; input connections are in the spec tab.

Need-to-Know
Six models share this page, from 1500VA up to 20000VA. What changes is load capacity, maximum current, rack size and the input and output connections — IEC sockets or hardwire.
- This is a bypass kit (APC's product type), not a UPS — it is an accessory used with the UPS it is paired with.
- Match the panel's load capacity, maximum current and rack size to your UPS before ordering. Ask us to confirm the pairing.
- Connections differ by model: SBP3000RMHW has hardwired output; SBP5000RMI2U, SBP6KRMI2U and SBP16KRMI4U have hardwired input; SBP16KRMI4U also has hardwired output. Check the connection type for your model in the spec tab.
- Confirm your exact UPS model with us before ordering. APC's compatibility list for the SBP6KRMI2U names the Smart-UPS SRT 6000VA, 8000VA and 10000VA RM 230V models (SRT6KRMXLI, SRT8KRMXLI, SRT10KRMXLI).
- APC says the SBP1500RMI, SBP3000RMI and SBP3000RMHW are designed for InfraStruXure Type A, Smart-UPS and Symmetra UPS products, and that the SBP16KRMI4U is compatible with Symmetra/Smart-UPS systems up to 16kVA. Ask us to confirm the pairing for your UPS.
