Back-feed protection
Figure 7.1 Backfeed protection option
An external isolation contactor can be fitted in the UPS bypass supply line as shown in Figure 7.1 to protect the UPS
against back-feeding in the event of a critical static switch failure.
The external contactor magnetic ‘trip’ coil is connected to the backfeed contactor control terminals located behind a small
cover on the back of the UPS.
An AC contactor rated at 100A minimum should be used – for example a three phase contactor of 3x 40A rating with the
three poles wired in parallel. The trip coil should be rated according to bypass supply.
