8.2.10   Basic Unit For Common Distribution 
The basic unit for common distribution connects the UPS output busbar to the output distribution module to 
achieve common load power distribution function. It does not provide branch circuit monitoring or intelligent 
monitoring or management of various power data. The basic unit for common distribution is installed in 
factory. It is used with the non-intelligent MCB distribution module or the non-intelligent hot-pluggable MCB 
distribution module. 
8.2.11   Output Distribution Module 
The UPS provides four types of optional output distribution module for your selection: intelligent MCB 
distribution module, intelligent hot-pluggable MCB distribution module, non-intelligent MCB distribution 
module, non-intelligent hot-pluggable MCB distribution module. The electrical connection of the output 
distribution modules in the UPS system is shown in Figure 8-14.

The maximum configuration number of the former two types is three, and that of the latter two is four. 
The intelligent MCB distribution module and intelligent hot-pluggable MCB distribution module are used with 
the SPM monitoring module to achieve intelligent power distribution and management function.   
The non-intelligent MCB distribution module and non-intelligent hot-pluggable MCB distribution module are 
used with the basic unit for common distribution to achieve common power distribution function, with no 
distribution circuit monitoring or intelligent management.   
The installation and service procedures of the four output distribution modules are the same. Refer to 2.4.6

Intelligent MCB distribution module 
The 
intelligent MCB distribution module uses hot-pluggable terminals to connect the UPS output busbar to 
facilitate installation. The intelligent MCB distribution module in standard configuration provides eighteen 
25A/1P MCBs and provides 18 branches of built-in current detection components and switch state monitoring 
circuit to acquire and report the current, voltage and state of each MCB.   
Intelligent hot-pluggable MCB distribution module 
Ex
cept that the built-in MCBs are hot-pluggable, the intelligent hot-pluggable MCB distribution module is 
completely the same as the intelligent MCB distribution module. 
The intelligent hot-pluggable MCB distribution module uses built-in hot-pluggable MCBs. Therefore, with no 
need to turn off the whole distribution module, you can regulate the phases of each MCB or replace each MCB 
to adjust the branch capacity. Hence, load distribution can be adjusted in equipment operation.
