Recommended Upstream Protection and Cable Sizes

CAUTION
hazard of fire Connect only to a circuit with the below specifications. Connect only to a circuit provided with maximum a 1600 A branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70, and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

NOTE: Overcurrent protection is to be provided by others.

NOTE: All wiring must comply with all applicable national and/or electrical code (National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70).

Cable sizes in this manual are based on Table 310.15 of the National Electrical Code 2014 (NEC) with the following assertions:

90 °C conductors (THHN) for 75 °C termination
Not more than 3 current carrying conductors in each conduit
An ambient temperature of max. 30 °C
Use of copper or aluminium conductors
100% rated breakers
Nominal operating conditions

If the ambient room temperature is greater than 30 °C, use larger or additional parallel conductors in accordance with the correction factors of the NEC. The maximum allowable conductor size is 600 kcmil.

Equipment Grounding Conductors (EGC) are sized in accordance with NEC Article 250.122 and Table 250.122 “Minimum size equipment conductor for grounding equipment.

NOTE: Always consider the EGC size according to the complete electrical installation.

Guidance for Organizing Battery Cables

NOTE: For 3rd party batteries, use only high rate batteries for UPS applications.

NOTE: When the battery bank is placed remotely, the organizing of the cables is important to reduce voltage drop and inductance. The distance between the battery bank and the UPS must not exceed 200 m (656 ft). Contact Schneider Electric for installations with a longer distance.

NOTE: To minimize the risk of electromagnetic radiation, it is highly recommended to follow the below guidance and to use grounded metallic tray supports.
