Alpha Switches

A bypass switch, such as the Alpha 255A External Maintenance Bypass Switch, routes power directly to critical AC loads while isolating the UPS. This allows technicians to safely service or replace a UPS module without interrupting power to traffic signals, telecom equipment, or other critical infrastructure.

Yes, Alpha offers a Universal Generator Transfer Switch (UGTS) designed to integrate with portable or permanent generators for extended outage support. It works alongside the automatic transfer switch to maintain power continuity to traffic cabinets and ITS equipment during prolonged utility outages.

Alpha transfer and bypass switches support flexible mounting configurations, including optional rack mount and wall mount kits. This allows integration into traffic controller cabinets, telecom enclosures, or standalone Type 3R outdoor power enclosures depending on the installation site requirements.

Yes, Alpha transfer and bypass switches are engineered for use in NEMA M, P, and 336 traffic controller cabinets as well as Advanced Transportation Controller (ATC) enclosures, ensuring reliable power switching for signal intersections and ITS communication equipment.
