8.3Battery Wiring

Power wiring to the Battery Cabinet connects positive, negative, and ground power cables from the Battery Cabinet to the associated UPS. Connection of the UPS to the Battery Cabinet serves to both charge and discharge the batteries (when needed). The battery disconnect (circuit breaker) requires a control cable. Liebert Battery Cabinets include power and control cables to join multi- ple cabinets together into a system. Additional (field-supplied) power or control wiring might be necessary to connect the battery cabinet system to the UPS. Refer to Figure 16 through Figure 18.

 

DANGER

 

A BATTERY INTERCELL CONNECTION ON EACH TIER OF THE

 

LIEBERT BATTERY CABINET IS DISCONNECTED FOR SAFETY

 

DURING SHIPMENT. DO NOT COMPLETE THESE

 

CONNECTIONS. THE LIEBERT GLOBAL SERVICES

 

REPRESENTATIVE WILL COMPLETE THESE CONNECTIONS

 

AS PART OF START-UP. AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED UNIT

 

CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSONNEL OR DAMAGE TO

 

EQUIPMENT.

 

CAUTION

 

Be sure polarity is correct when wiring the Battery Cabinet to the

 

connected equipment (positive to positive; negative to negative).

 

If polarity is not correct, fuse failures or equipment damage can

!

result.

!

CAUTION

DC power cables should be installed in conduit with conductors

in matched pairs (positive and negative).

NOTE

A Liebert Battery Specialist can perform a detailed inspection of the entire

battery system to ensure it meets current IEEE standards. This inspection

 

service is recommended because batteries are a very critical part of the UPS

 

system.
