Installation Wiring Diagrams for External Bypass Switches

The following notes are referenced in the external bypass switch wiring diagrams (Figure 8 through Figure 15). To determine which diagram is correct for your site, see Table 9 on page 29.

NOTE 1 The customer must provide input overcurrent protection as stated in NEC) Section 240-21 or local codes. Size the protection device according to local code requirements.

NOTE 2 The UPS bypass switch/AC disconnect must be installed within sight of the

UPS. To properly install, complete the phase check starting on page 65.

NOTE 3 The customer must provide and install this ground connection according to NEC Sections 250-20(d), 250-30, 250-62, and 250-64 or local requirements. This grounding electrode conductor must be at least #8 AWG (8.36 mm)), per NEC table 250-66. If the UPS input circuit conductors are larger than #8 AWG (8.36 mm ), Powerware requires the grounding electrode conductor to be the same size (ampacity) as the largest UPS input circuit conductor. Refer to NEC Section 110-3(b). Conduit is not considered an acceptable grounding electrode conductor. Powerware does not recommend routing the grounding electrode conductor through metallic conduit. This conductor may require protection from physical damage according to local requirements.

NOTE 4 All circuit conductors, including the neutral and equipment grounding conductors, must be the same size (ampacity) and have the same rating (75°C copper wire), and must be sized according to the input protection device.

NOTE 5 The customer must provide output overcurrent protection as stated in NEC Section 240-21 or local codes. Size the protection device according to local code requirements.

NOTE 6 For maximum protection against electrical noise, use isolated ground receptacles. Refer to NEC Section 250-146(d) or local requirements.

NOTE 7 For service, the UPS requires 362 (91.5 cm) clearance on the sides and in front, 122 (30.5 cm) above the UPS, and 42 (10.0 cm) behind the UPS. A minimum clearance of 42 (10 cm) is required on the sides, front, and back and 122 (30.5 cm) above the UPS for proper ventilation. See “Equipment Clearances” on page 19 for clearances before installing the UPS. Use flexible metal conduit on the UPS or the external battery cabinet if either must be moved.
