3.7.3 Battery over current protection and wire sizing
• Please read the safety precautions at the front of this guide carefully, and thoroughly review the
battery manufacturers installation and maintenance manual before connecting the batteries to the
UPS.
• If the UPS system has been purchased with an accompanying battery cabinet, that cabinet should
have an integral battery circuit breaker.
If the UPS has been purchased without a battery cabinet or remote rack mounted batteries are to
be used then DC over current protection must be provided by others.
• Choose an appropriate DC fuse or circuit breaker using the current data in the chart below.
• Minimum battery cable requirement is based on the current data below.
The AC values below are current ratings per phase.
These maximum and nominal ratings should be considered when choosing the appropriate AC
over current protection device.
NEC (National Electric Code) Section 210-20 a rules must be applied.
DC current rating is the nominal battery discharge current which the UPS allows.
