3.1.3 Selection of signal cables
Signal cables should use shielded multi-conductor cables. But if cable with single
conductor is used, the different cables should be bonded together to increase the
mechanical strength. The number of the bonded cables should not exceed 30. The
cross-sectional area of the cable with single conductor should be at least 0.5 sq-
mm. Serial communication cables should use 3 or 5 shielded conductor cables.

1. Cabling layout
Cabling layout is shown in Figures 3-1 and 3-2. For single input UPS, the rectifier
input and bypass input are connected together.
