2.5.1 Transformer-Free UPS Cable Connection
A junction box is factory-installed on each model of the Liebert APS to ease cable connection.
Select the appropriate input cables according to Table 3 and Table 4 based on the UPS rating and
mains frequency; however, it is recommended that you size the over current protection and wiring for
the frame rating to easily allow upgrades to the UPS system.
WARNING
