3.6 External Protective Devices
For safety reasons, it is necessary to install, external circuit breaker at the input A.C. supply and
the battery. This chapter provides guidelines for qualified installers that must have the knowledge of
local wiring practices for the equipment to be installed.
◆External Battery
The UPS and its associated batteries are protected against the effect of over-current
through a DC compatible thermo-magnetic circuit-breaker (or a set of fuses) located close to
the battery.
◆UPS Output
Any external distribution board used for load distribution shall be fitted with protective
devices that may avoid the risk of UPS overloaded.
◆Over-current
Protection device shall be installed at the distribution panel of the incoming main supply. It
may identify the power cables current capacity as well as the overload capacity of the system .
CAUTION !
Select a thermo magnetic circuit-breaker with an IEC 60947-2 trip
curve C (normal) for 125% of the current as listed below.
3.7 Power
Cables
◆The cable design shall comply with the voltages and currents provided in this section, Kindly
follow local wiring practices and take into consideration the environmental conditions (temperature
and physical support media)
.
WARNING!
Upon starting.please ensure that you are aware of the location and
operation of the external isolators which are connected to the UPS
input/bypass supply of the mains distribution panel.check to see if
these supplies are electrically isolated.and post and necessary
warning signs to prevent any inadvertent operation .
◆For future expansion purpose, it is economical to install power cable according to the full rating
capacity initially. The diameter of cable is shown bellow:
CAUTION!
Protective earth cable: Connect each cabinet to the main ground
system. For Grounding connection, follow the shortest route
possible。
WARNING!
Failure to follow adequate earthing procedures may result in
electromagnetic interference or in hazards involving electric shock
and fire
