3.Battery Cabinet Installation (continued)

3.4Internal Wiring (Typical)

•Battery cabinets use multiple 12 VDC batteries connected in series to provide nominal DC voltages ranging from 192 VDC to 240 VDC.

•Internal cabling is sized for specific application load currents. The insulated cables can be 2 AWG, 4 AWG, 2/0 AWG, 4/0 AWG or dual 2/0 AWG.

•Each battery cabinet includes a specific wiring diagram. Some battery cabinets may contain series-parallel battery strings.

Others may require a single series string that occupies more than one cabinet. The installer must complete the series connections between separate cabinets when the series string occupies more than one cabinet. The cables, hardware and instructions required to complete the connection will be inside one of the cabinets.

•Battery cabinets that include a molded case circuit breaker may or may not use a fuse.

•All fuses, disconnect switches and circuit breakers are in the top tier of the battery cabinet.

•Terminal blocks, copper bussing or direct circuit breaker connections for connecting to the load are in the top tier of the battery cabinet.

•All load connection polarities will be marked by a POS (+) or NEG (-) label.

•Some battery cabinets are provided with a two-pole branch circuit overcurrent protection device. These cabinets may be wired directly to the load or UPS.

•Some battery cabinets are not provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection. The installer must supply an easy- access disconnect and branch circuit overcurrent protection device rated in accordance with all applicable electrical codes.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection rated in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70.

•If the battery cabinet includes an integrated battery charger (“C” models only), the internal cabinet wiring will be preinstalled and the charger will include fusing for 120 VAC input. The charger input must be connected to a separate AC supply circuit, not the UPS system.

3.5Preliminary Electrical Check

1.Measure the battery cabinet output voltage at the output load connection points. (Measure voltage with a digital voltmeter.)

2.The measured voltage should approximately match the voltage listed on the battery cabinet nameplate. The battery cabinet output voltage will be equal to the number of individual batteries installed in series multiplied by the unit voltage. (For example: 40 batteries x 12.84 VDC = 513.6 VDC output; 40 batteries x 6.42 VDC = 256.8 VDC output.)

3.If the measured voltage is significantly different than anticipated, determine the cause (e.g. low charge, shorted cell, reversed battery, faulty wiring) and correct the voltage disparity before proceeding.

3.6Battery Cabinet Placement

Place the battery cabinet in a cool location with free airflow that is away from direct heat sources. The lifespan of a battery can be affected dramatically by elevated temperature, decreasing 50% for each 15° above 77° F.

1.Prepare the surface where the cabinet will be placed. The surface must be clean, flat and able to support the battery cabinet and other equipment installed nearby. (See Section 7-1for floor loading specifications.)

2.Allow adequate clearance around the battery cabinet for ventilation and maintenance. The front panel must be accessible and removable to allow easy access to internal batteries, internal fuses and other overcurrent protection devices. (See Section 7-1for dimensions. See Section 6-1 or 6-2for detailed battery cabinet measurements.)

3.If the cabinet will be anchored to the floor, install appropriate anchor bolts in the mounting hole at the bottom of the cabinet.

Use washers to create a level surface between the mounting areas around the anchor bolts.

4.Using extreme caution, remove the bolts securing the battery cabinet to the shipping pallet.

5.Forklift forks should be at maximum width within the cabinet clearance opening and fully inserted to prevent tipping. Lift cabinet from bottom only. Be careful not to damage the sheet metal floor of the cabinet with the forks.

6.If the battery cabinet will be secured to the floor, carefully align and lower the battery cabinet down on the floor anchor bolts and secure it in place.

7.If the cabinet will not be secured to the floor, lower it into the designated space and then level it using shims. (Leveling does not affect performance but does align the battery cabinet with other equipment in the facility.)
