11.7Grounding Configuration

This section describes the grounding configuration to be used with various AC service entrance configurations.

Inadequate grounding will cause problems at start-up. Connections for the ground line and the neutral line must be made appropriately according to the system configuration.

11.7.1Recommended configuration (for 4 wire input with Input Neutral grounded)

Figure 11.12 shows recommended grounding configuration when the input neutral is grounded.

The neutral line at the input source is usually grounded. The neutral terminal in the UPS cabinet should be disconnected from the ground bus. The neutral connection for the UPS bypass input should be grounded.
