If you encounter any problems with the procedures contained in this manual
you should seek immediate assistance from the Liebert Sales Office
from whom the equipment was purchased.
Liebert Corporation pursues a policy of continual product development and reserves the right to change the
Personnel operating on any apparatus referred in this manual must know extensively the product.
The Network Power Switch must be commissioned and serviced by an engineer approved by the manufacturer (or his
agent).
Failure to do so could result in personnel safety risk, equipment malfunction and invalidation of warranty.
CONFORMITY AND STANDARDS
The optional device complies with the requirements of the standards identified at the beginning of the User’s
Manual supplied with the Network Power Switch
Continued compliance requires installation in accordance with these instructions and the use of manufacturer
approved accessories only.
General
The unit must be grounded in accordance with current electrical regulations.
General
As with other types of power equipment, dangerous voltages are present within the Network Power Switch
enclosure. The risk of contact with these voltages is minimized as the live component parts are housed behind a
hinged, lockable door.
No risk exists to any personnel when operating the equipment in the normal manner, following the recommended
operating procedures.
All equipment maintenance and servicing procedures involve internal access and should be carried out only by
trained personnel.

1 Chapter 1 – General description
1.1 Introduction
The Network Power Switch is an automatic static transfer switch designed to provide fast automatic transfers between
two independent, synchronous AC power sources to provide continuity of AC power to critical equipment, such as
information technology equipment.
One of the two AC inputs is designed as the “preferred” source to which the Network Power Switch will connect the
load as long as the designated input source is within the acceptable limits, the Network Power Switch is designed to
transfer the output load to the “alternate “input source, as long as the alternate source is within the acceptable voltage
limits.
The Network Power Switch provides fast, break-before-make transfers to prevent interconnection of the two sources,
even under faulted source conditions.
The maximum sense and transfer times are within the tolerance of IEEE Standard 446 susceptibility curve for
information technology equipment to allow uninterrupted load equipment operation.
In case of overload, Network Power Switch gives the alarm. Under Short-circuit condition a fast acting semi conductor
fuse protects condition of the load.
Manual Bypass Switch
The entire power static switch module is hot swappable. Before removing this module the load is transferred, without
break to any one of the source directly by using the Manual bypass switch. After replacing the static switch module, the
load is restored on static switch module, using the Manual bypass switch.

1.2 Design Concept
Fig 1.2 - Power Circuit Diagram for Network Power Switch
Figure 1.2 shows the Power circuit diagram for Network Power Switch. Source 1 & Source 2 are the two
synchronized power sources with fuse switches FS1 & FS2 & pair of SCR’s TA & TB in series with each path.
Logic dictates that at any time only one pair of back-to-back connected SCR’s in the line path should conduct. This
routes the input power to the output load. Should the load feeding source fail due to any reason; the other source takes
over automatically in less than 6 ms.
This ensures that the critical load always receives the power & changeover time is less than the tolerance limit set by
IEEE 446 (CBEMA curve) for information technology equipments. The change over is always with break, which
ensures that in no case two sources get paralleled.
Priority source can be selected through front panel switch. The live mimic on front panel indicates which source is on
priority & which is feeding the load. Figure 1.4 shows the details of live mimic panel.

1.3 Mechanical Design Description
HOT SWAPPABLE UNIT
Fig 1.3 – Hot swappable and Fixed Unit
The Network Power Switch consists of two modules.
Fixed module consists of the input and output connections and manual bypass transfer control switch.
Second module is hot swappable plug-in type with removable electronics & static switching module.
The bypass / transfer control switch is located on right side of the cabinet with a key lock to restrict access to qualified
or designated operators. The plug in module likewise contains locked latches to prevent unauthorized removal of the
module. The Network Power Switch is designed to allow replacement of the removable electronics switching module
without having to de-energize the load equipment.
Entire power static switch module is hot swappable. Before removing this module the load is transferred without break
to any one of the source directly. After replacing the static switch module, the load is again transferred back to Network
Power Switch without break.

OUTPUT
YELLOW LED
(LOAD ON S2)
Fig 1.5 – Manual Bypass Switch Operation
Manual Bypass switch is used only when a fault occurs in the Network Power Switch and the control circuitry of the
Network Power Switch is to be checked. For doing this operation the load is connected to the bypass. For Normal
Operation, the position of the switch should be at Network Power Switch output position (i.e. horizontal)
If the load is to be fed through the source 1 Bypass, first it is to be unlocked and the knob should be rotated
upwards. To feed through source 2 bypass the knob is to be rotated downward.
A mechanical interlocking arrangement is provided on this Bypass switch, by which the Hot swappable unit can be
removed only when load is connected to bypass. In normal operation when the load is connected to Network Power
Switch, the Hot swappable unit cannot be removed.
Operating Network Power Switch in Normal Mode (load connected to Network Power Switch output)
• Unlock the Manual Bypass Switch with the key provided.
BYPASS ON S1 SOURCE
BYPASS ON S2 SOURCE
• Depending upon the available healthy source (i.e. either Source-1 or Source-2 ) select it by changing the
Manual Bypass Switch position.
• Unlock the sliding module
• Pull out the Hot swappable sliding module out of the Network Power Switch, which contains (SCR
assembly, control circuitry).
Operating Network Power Switch in Bypass mode
• Insert the Hot swappable module into the Network Power Switch unit
• Lock the sliding module for preventing its accidental opening.
• Unlock the Manual Bypass Switch with the key provided
• Connect the Load output to Network Power Switch by changing the switch position to Network Power
Switch output.
• Depending on the priority switch, Load will get transferred to source-1, if the priority switch is on source1.
• The Static Switch output position LED will glow

2.3 Procedure for Switching the Network Power Switch to power the load from a Power Off
condition
This procedure should be followed when turning on the Network Power Switch from a fully powered down condition
-i.e. when the load is not being initially supplied at all. It is assumed that the installation is complete; the authorized
personnel have commissioned the system.
1. Select the priority to source1. Close the fuse FS1.
2. Check for the LED S1 healthy, S1 priority, S1 feed and LED load on source1 to glow.
3. Close the fuse FS2.
4. Check for the LED S2 healthy to glow.
5. Using priority switch transfer the load to source2, check this transfer does not affect the load.
6. Transfer the load to source 1 again and check this transfer does not affect the load.
