American Power Conversion MW manual National Electrical Code

Specifications: Electrical Specification

Section III of the 2002 NEC.

8.Nominal Battery Discharge current based on rated load, and nominal battery voltage.

9.Maximum Battery Discharge current based on rated load at end of discharge.

10.Heat dissipation calculated at rated load capacity.

11.This current is at 125% of rated load and is electronically current-limited to a maximum of 10 minutes. This value is only provided so the engineer can ensure that the selected AC output circuit over-current device’s time-current characteristic will support this condition.

a.Temperature rating of conductors: 194oF (90oC). Reference: Table 310-16 of NEC, 75oC column. Use only copper conductors. 167oF (75oC) cable terminal connectors assumed.

b.Reference: NEC Handbook 2002. Consult local codes for possible variations.

c.All cable ratings are supplied as guidelines only. These guidelines are recommendations only,

and should not be considered substitutes for review and compliance with NEC, national, or local codes. Consult with your licensed engineer for site-specific applications. 86oF (30oC) assumed. Over-current protection provided by others.
