MGE UPS Systems EPS 6000, Installation Manual

Page: 42 / 72

An efficient EPS 6000 UPS installation depends on careful
planning and site preparation. Installation of UPS
equipment must be handled by skilled technicians and
electricians familiar with the special requirements of high-
energy electrical equipment. The installation must comply with the requirements of the National
Electrical Code (NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest issue) and with local codes and requirements as
applicable.
Before installation, the following environmental, mechanical, and electrical
prerequisites must be fulfilled.
Carefully review the installation drawings supplied with the system and follow their instructions.
The EPS 6000 is intended for use in an environment where
control of temperature and humidity is provided. The
maximum operating and recommended environmental
parameters are provided in Section1.5.3, Environmental
conditions.
The EPS 6000 UPS generates heat and exhaust air through the top portion of its enclosures.
Heat loss and air flow data is provided in Table 1-1.
The EPS 6000 UPS can be mounted on a raised floor, or
flush-mounted on a concrete floor. All floors must be level.
On a raised floor, the conduits can be run below the floor,
with cut-outs made in the floor tiles as shown on the instal-
lation drawing.
Battery cabinet(s) may be placed adjacent to the UPS module on the right side (when viewed
standing in front and facing the module), or may be installed as stand-alone cabinets. Auxiliary
cabinet(s) are placed to the left of the UPS module.
Floor loading must be considered when installing an EPS 6000 system on a raised floor or on
an upper story of a multiple-story building. Floor loading data is provided on the installation
drawings supplied with the equipment. Consult a structural engineer while planning your EPS
6000 UPS installation.
After installation, the EPS 6000 UPS module requires a minimum of 1 meter (36 inches) front
clearance for normal maintenance. Side or rear access is not required. A minimum of 710
millimeters (28 inches) is required for top ventilation.
Electrical service for the EPS 6000 UPS system should be
supplied on its own dedicated branch circuit. Main input
cables, upstream protective devices, and downstream
protective devices must be provided and sized per the
National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, per local codes as applicable, and as
appropriate for your load and distribution requirements. Recommended cable sizes are
provided on the installation drawings. The EPS 6000 UPS is a separately-derived source.
