Use of Differential Protection Devices
Notice - Differential Current Breakers
•
The UPS does not require differential protection devices connected ahead of it.
However, when these devices are installed in compliance with local regulations, note that
separate DCBs in the line power and bypass line power circuits may trip unexpectedly, thus
interrupting the power supply to the unit.
Therefore, if a DCB must be installed, only one should be used for both primary and bypass
inputs.
•
In parallel distributed systems, only one common differential protection device should be
installed ahead of the point where the line divides into the UPS primary and bypass line power
circuits. If separate DCBs are installed in different configurations, they may trip unexpectedly.
•
In order to guarantee correct distribution in the neutral cables, installation personnel shall make
sure that the lengths of the cables are as equal as possible.
However, if the bypass lines lead from sources that are electrically isolated from each other, a
differential protection device may be installed on each line. In this case, and in cases when the
load is supplied from the bypass via the Static Bypass Switch, the isolated sources are connected
in parallel. A case-by-case analysis should be made as to whether any resulting imbalance
between the currents on the bypass lines is compatible with the respective protection devices.
A differential device installed on the primary and bypass inputs supply senses the sum of all ground
leakage currents in both the UPS and the load it supplies.
To avoid spurious operation, the following must be taken into consideration when selecting differential
protection devices for installation on input lines:
1.
The nominal value of ID must take into account the ground leakage current of the UPS and the load
under normal operating conditions: ID = IDUPS + load leakage current.
NB The maximum limit for UPS ground leakage current is 5% of nominal input current (see
IEC/EN62040-1+A1:2013).
2.
The differential breaker must be a delayed intervention type device (greater than 300 mS).
3.
The protection device must be differential.

Parallel Connections
The cable identified by the color green is the adapter cable that connects the MSS to the parallel cable.
The cables identified with the color red are the cables parallel.
The adapter cables (green color) are always supplied with the MSS.
Follow the table that shows the standard lengths available. The cables are optional and must be
ordered separately using the following P/N:
