8-18 kVA Connections

CAUTION: A qualified electrician must review and -
approve the customer-supplied wiring, circuit
breaker(s), power outlet, and intended loads. Ensure
correct line, neutral, and ground connections, and that
phase rotation is phase A leads phase B (leads phase
C, if third phase is used). See Table #5 in the
Appendix & Site Planning Data.

See Table #1 to the right and the figures on the following
pages for terminal details and block diagrams of UPS with
both single and optional dual input. Use 75 degrees C
copper wire in compliance with the NEC (NFPA 70) and all
applicable local codes.

Remove conduit-landing plates from UPS. Punch conduit
holes in these plates for both input and output
connections. Tighten wire connections according to unit
torque specification labels and Table #1.

Input
The UPS accepts two-phase or three-phase power.

Output
8 - 12 kVA:
Hardwire output power to a customer-supplied
panelboard, or to optional distribution units. The
Configurable Distribution unit (in conjunction with Load
Modules) provides receptacle distribution. See
Distribution in the Options section.

15 - 18 kVA: Hardwire output power to a customer-
supplied panelboard.

NOTES:

8 – 18 kVA systems require a local Grounding

Electrode per NEC 250.

Minimum size grounding conductors per NEC. Parity

sized ground conductors recommended. Size Neutral
conductors for full capacity per NEC.

Refer to NEC Article 250 and local codes for proper

wire sizing and grounding practices.

UPS Output is a separately derived source when

operating on inverter. Output Neutral is bonded to
equipment ground internal to the UPS.
