8-18 kVA Connections
CAUTION: A qualified electrician must review and -
approve the customer-supplied wiring, circuit
breaker(s), power outlet, and intended loads. Ensure
correct line, neutral, and ground connections, and that
phase rotation is phase A leads phase B (leads phase
C, if third phase is used). See Table #5 in the
Appendix & Site Planning Data.
See Table #1 to the right and the figures on the following
pages for terminal details and block diagrams of UPS with
both single and optional dual input. Use 75 degrees C
copper wire in compliance with the NEC (NFPA 70) and all
applicable local codes.
Remove conduit-landing plates from UPS. Punch conduit
holes in these plates for both input and output
connections. Tighten wire connections according to unit
torque specification labels and Table #1.
Input
The UPS accepts two-phase or three-phase power.
Output
8 - 12 kVA: Hardwire output power to a customer-supplied
panelboard, or to optional distribution units. The
Configurable Distribution unit (in conjunction with Load
Modules) provides receptacle distribution. See
Distribution in the Options section.
15 - 18 kVA: Hardwire output power to a customer-
supplied panelboard.

NOTES:
•
8 – 18 kVA systems require a local Grounding
Electrode per NEC 250.
•
Minimum size grounding conductors per NEC. Parity
sized ground conductors recommended. Size Neutral
conductors for full capacity per NEC.
•
Refer to NEC Article 250 and local codes for proper
wire sizing and grounding practices.
•
UPS Output is a separately derived source when
operating on inverter. Output Neutral is bonded to
equipment ground internal to the UPS.
