UTILITY INPUT

LOAD

Fig. 3.7.2-1 RPA Parallel System

In order to ensure a correct load sharing between the parallel units, when the load is

supplied by utility, it is recommended to keep the cable size and length from the input
distribution board to the output bus-bar the same for each parallel unit.

Utility Bypass input voltage must be the same for all units, thus avoiding phase shift
or phase rotation problems.

To avoid mutual induction effect, the input cables bust be run in separate conduit

from the output cables.

NOTE !

No transformers, fuses or automatic circuit breakers should be inserted between
the unit’s output and the load common bus-bars.


The delivery and installation of fuses and input / output connections of the UPS are at the

customer’s expense, unless agreed otherwise.

NOTE !

It is recommended to provide an additional length of the input/output cables so that

the UPS can be moved for maintenance purpose.
It is recommended to use flexible input/output conductors with suitable length to
admit a sufficient displacement.
