SETTING UP THE INPUT/OUTPUT WIRE CONNECTION
PROTECTIONS
Inside the UPS
The size of the switches and fuses installed on the UPS input/output lines are given below (consult the block
diagrams paragraph for the initial). A fuse must always be replaced by a fuse of the same capacity and with
the same characteristics as those mentioned in the table.

UPS Input.
When selecting the protections to install at the input of the continuity group, you must take into consideration
the maximum current absorbed in the two operating conditions:
In "NORMAL OPERATION", from the main line via the rectifier, the “max input current” is the one
indicated in the table. The automatic breaker is present at the rectifier input, as shown in the table,
"SWIN".
In "BY-PASS OPERATION", straight from the by-pass line, the max. value of the current is restricted by
intervention of the “automatic breaker SWBY”.
UPS output, Short circuits and selectivity
Nominal current, Input/output from the UPS is the one indicated in the table "output current".
Short circuit
When a fault occurs on the load, i.e. a short circuit, the UPS protects itself by restricting the value and the
duration of the supplied current (short circuit current). These values also depend on the operating status of
the unit at the time of the fault. We must distinguish between two situations:
