Recommended Upstream Protection and Cable Sizes for 3:1 UPS

DANGER
hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash
All wiring must comply with all applicable national and/or electrical codes. The maximum allowable cable size is 95 mm2.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: Overcurrent protection to be provided by others.

Cable sizes in this manual are based on table B.52.12 of IEC 60364-5-52 with the following assertions:

  • 90 °C conductors

  • An ambient temperature of 30 °C

  • Use of copper conductors

  • Installation method F

  • For AC cables: Maximum length 50 m with a line voltage drop <3%

  • For DC cables: Maximum length 15 m with a line voltage drop <1%

PE cable size is based on table 54.2 of IEC 60364-4-54.

If the ambient temperature is greater than 30 °C, larger conductors are to be selected in accordance with the correction factors of the IEC.
