For information on rated and maximum currents for rated power and voltage, refer to the
Eaton 93PS UPS 8-40 kW User’s and Installation Guide.
For the external separate battery option, there are separate terminals for both battery
banks (cabinets). These terminals replace terminals 13 and 14, see illustration 6.2.
NOTE: External overcurrent protection is not provided by this product, but is required by
codes. Refer to Table 3 for wiring requirements. If a lockable output disconnect is required,
it must be supplied by the user.
