External bypass

The table opposite is an example for an installation with up to four UPS units.

◗For installations with redundant units, take into account only the number of units required to supply the loads (e.g. in a three-unit installation where one unit is redundant, only two units count in determining the input and load currents).

◗This table is valid for 400 V input and load phase-to-phase voltages, at rated load with a power factor of 0.8. For voltages of 380 or 415 V, multiply the current values by 1.05 or 0.96 respectively and, if necessary, modify the cable sizes accordingly.

◗The cable sizes in this table concern the bold sections in the diagram below.

(1)Cable sizes are determined for U1000 R02V type copper conductors (for aluminium conductors, increase the size by 30%). Size calculations also take into account a voltage of 400 V and grouping of four cables.
