Electrical Connections

2.0ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The UPS requires both power and control cabling once it has been mechanically installed. All control cables must run separate from power cables in metal conduits or metal ducts that are electrically bonded to the metalwork of the cabinets to which they are connected.

! WARNING

Before connecting input power to the Liebert NX, ensure that you are aware of the location and operation of the overcurrent protection devices that connect the UPS input/bypass supply to the power distribution panel.

De-energize and lockout or tagout all incoming high- and low-voltage power circuits before installing cables or making any electrical connections.

2.1Power Cabling

2.1.1Cable Rating

The main factors affecting the choice and size of cable are voltage, current (also taking into account overcurrent), room temperature and conditions of installation of the cable.

The power cables of the system must be sized with respect to the following description:

•UPS input cables - The UPS input cables must be sized for the maximum input current, includ- ing the maximum battery recharge current, given in Table 8, with respect to the unit rating and the input AC voltage.

•UPS bypass and output cables - The bypass and output cables must be sized for the nominal output current, given in Table 8, with respect to the unit rating and the output AC voltage.

•Battery cables - When connecting an external battery cabinet, the battery cables must be sized for the battery discharge current at the end-of-discharge voltage, as given in Table 8, with respect to the unit rating.

NOTE

Table 8 gives nominal currents for determining the size of UPS power cables. Other important factors to consider include cable route length and coordination with protective devices.

The power cables can be sized to suit the UPS unit rating according to Table 8.

Lug Size and Torque Requirements

Refer to Table 24 for lug size and torque requirements.

NOTE

When installing a Liebert NX with Softscale™ capability Liebert recommends sizing the input, bypass and output cabling for the UPS’s maximum rating. Properly sizing the cable will reduce the work required to upgrade the UPS.

480V specifications

The Emerson 480V power systems play a critical role in modern industrial applications, providing reliable and efficient power distribution. These systems are designed for facilities that require robust performance and operational efficiency while adhering to safety regulations. With voltage ratings at 480V, they cater primarily to industries such as manufacturing, data centers, and commercial buildings.

One of the main features of the Emerson 480V systems is their scalability. These systems can be easily adapted and expanded as operational demands grow, thereby reducing initial investment costs and providing a flexible solution for evolving business needs. This ability to scale is crucial in a fast-paced environment where demands can change rapidly.

The Emerson 480V systems also incorporate advanced technologies for improved performance and safety. One key technology is the use of smart grid solutions. This enables real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and control, allowing facility managers to optimize energy consumption and reduce operational costs. Furthermore, these systems often include integrated protection devices that enhance safety measures by minimizing the risk of electrical faults, overloads, or short circuits.

Energy efficiency is another characteristic that distinguishes Emerson 480V systems from traditional alternatives. With advanced power management features, these systems effectively reduce energy waste and lower electricity bills. Emerson’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its designs, which aim to minimize environmental impact through energy-efficient technologies.

The build quality of Emerson 480V systems is also noteworthy. They are designed to withstand harsh industrial environments and are constructed with high-grade materials that promote longevity and reliability. The modular design allows for easy maintenance and repair, which further extends the lifespan of the system.

Additionally, Emerson 480V systems are equipped with user-friendly interfaces that facilitate ease of operation. This ensures that operators can efficiently manage and control power distribution without extensive training. The combination of performance, scalability, safety features, and user-centric design makes Emerson 480V systems an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their electrical infrastructure.

In summary, Emerson 480V power systems are a leading solution for industrial power distribution, characterized by their scalability, smart technology integration, energy efficiency, robust build quality, and user-friendly operation. These attributes make them a valuable investment for any organization aiming to improve its electrical management and operational performance.
