Installation Wiring Diagrams for External Bypass Switches
The following notes are referenced in the external bypass switch wiring
diagrams (Figure 8 through Figure 15). To determine which diagram is
correct for your site, see Table 9 on page 29.
NOTE 1 The customer must provide input overcurrent protection as stated in NEC
Section 240-21 or local codes. Size the protection device according to local code
requirements.
NOTE 2 The UPS bypass switch/AC disconnect must be installed within sight of the
UPS. To properly install, complete the phase check starting on page 65.
NOTE 3 The customer must provide and install this ground connection according to
NEC Sections 250-20(d), 250-30, 250-62, and 250-64 or local requirements. This
grounding electrode conductor must be at least #8 AWG (8.36 mm
)), per NEC
table 250-66. If the UPS input circuit conductors are larger than #8 AWG (8.36 mm
)
),
Powerware requires the grounding electrode conductor to be the same size (ampacity)
as the largest UPS input circuit conductor. Refer to NEC Section 110-3(b). Conduit is
not considered an acceptable grounding electrode conductor. Powerware does not
recommend routing the grounding electrode conductor through metallic conduit. This
conductor may require protection from physical damage according to local
requirements.
NOTE 4 All circuit conductors, including the neutral and equipment grounding
conductors, must be the same size (ampacity) and have the same rating (75°C copper
wire), and must be sized according to the input protection device.
NOTE 5 The customer must provide output overcurrent protection as stated in NEC
Section 240-21 or local codes. Size the protection device according to local code
requirements.
NOTE 6 For maximum protection against electrical noise, use isolated ground
receptacles. Refer to NEC Section 250-146(d) or local requirements.
NOTE 7 For service, the UPS requires 36
2 (91.5 cm) clearance on the sides and in
front, 12
2 (30.5 cm) above the UPS, and 42 (10.0 cm) behind the UPS. A minimum
clearance of 4 2 (10 cm) is required on the sides, front, and back and 122 (30.5 cm)
above the UPS for proper ventilation. See “Equipment Clearances” on page 19 for
clearances before installing the UPS. Use flexible metal conduit on the UPS or the
external battery cabinet if either must be moved.
