7.1.2 Recommended torque values
Table G lists the recommended torque values for connection to the power system with the following hardware:
Table G — Recommended torque values
1/4" 8.8 ft-lbs
3/8" 32.5 ft-lbs
7.2 Grounding
Connect the isolated power system battery return bus (BRB) to the building master ground bus (MGB), or floor
ground bus (FGB) in a larger building. This acts as a system reference and as a low impedance path to the
ground for surges, transients, noise, etc. The MGB or FGB must have a direct low impedance path to the building
grounding system.
The cable from the power system to the MGB or FGB must be sized to provide sufficient ampacity to clear the
largest fuse or breaker on the power system, excluding the battery protection fuse or circuit breaker. This is the
minimum requirement. Other factors including length of cable and special grounding requirements of the load
must also be factored in. The insulated cable must be equipped with two-hole crimp type lugs and must not have
any tight bends or kinks.
Table H — Typical ground reference conductor selection
Power system ampacity Recommended ground reference conductor size
< 30A #10
30 – 100A #6-2
100 – 400A 0000
400 – 800A 350 MCM
>800A 750 MCM
The power system frame must also be connected to the MGB or FGB. This is done for personnel safety and to
meet many telecom grounding requirements. Each bay must have its own frame or site ground connection. Refer
also to the customer connections drawing at the end of the manual.
• Clear hole connections (nut and bolt)
• PEM studs
• PEM threaded inserts
• Thread formed connections (in copper bus bar)
Grade 5 rated hardware is required for these torque values.
