3.7.3Battery over current protection and wire sizing
•Please read the safety precautions at the front of this guide carefully, and thoroughly review the Battery manufacturers installation and maintenance manual before connecting the batteries to the UPS.
•If the UPS system has been purchased with an accompanying Battery Cabinet, that cabinet should have an integral Battery Circuit Breaker.
If the UPS has been purchased without a Battery Cabinet or remote rack mounted batteries are to be used then DC over current protection must be provided by others.
•Choose an appropriate DC fuse or circuit breaker using the current data in the chart below.
•Minimum Battery Cable requirement is based on the current data below.
The AC values below are current ratings per phase.
These maximum and nominal ratings should be considered when choosing the
appropriate AC over current protection device.
NEC (National Electric Code) Section
DC current rating is the maximum battery discharge current which the UPS allows.
(See Fig. 3.7.1-1 and 3.7.1.2)
