Installation

Installation Preparations

 In a parallel system, the length and specifications of power cables on each UPS should be the same to achieve
current equalization in bypass mode. The power cables include bypass input power cables and UPS output
power cables.
 If the EPO function is required, prepare the EPO switch and cable before installation. The recommended cable
size is 0.3 mm2.
 If the TN-C system is adopted, short-circuit the input N and PE, and connect the input PE and N to terminals on
the N bar. The recommended cable size is 240 mm2.
 If a backfeed protection card is configured:
 If the UPS output power supply is used (currently supported only by the 800 kVA UPS), prepare a shunt
release (matching the rated voltage of the UPS) and cable (0.5–1.3 mm 2 cable recommended; the actual
cable size must meet the requirements of the backfeed protection card, fuse terminal block, and shunt
release).
 If a third-party power supply is used, the voltage is less than or equal to 240 V AC, and the current is less than
6 A, prepare a 6 A fuse, shunt release, and cable (0.5–1.3 mm 2 cable recommended; the actual cable size
must meet the requirements of the backfeed protection card, fuse terminal block, and shunt release).
Installation Environment
Before installing the UPS, note the following:
 Do not install the UPS in a high-temperature, low-temperature, or damp place that is beyond the technical
specifications.
 Install the UPS far away from water sources, heat sources, and inflammable and explosive materials. Keep the
UPS free from direct sunlight, dust, volatile gases, corrosive materials, and salty air.
 Do not install the UPS in environments with conductive metal scraps in the air.
 The optimal operating temperatures for valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries are 20–30°C. Operating
temperatures higher than 30°C shorten the battery lifespan, and operating temperatures lower than 20°C reduce
the battery backup time.
 Ensure that the floor or installation support can bear the weight of the UPS, batteries, and battery racks.
 If the UPS is equipped with a top outlet kit, do not install devices that are easy to swing on the top of the UPS.
Otherwise, the devices may fall off.

Installation Clearances (Three-Phase Four-Wire)

Reserve the following clearances around the cabinet to facilitate operations and ventilation:

 Reserve a clearance of at least 950 mm from the front of the cabinet for ventilation and operations.
 Reserve a clearance of at least 500 mm from the top of the cabinet for operations.
 Reserve a clearance of at least 500 mm from the rear of the cabinet for ventilation.
 Reserve a clearance of at least 800 mm if you need to perform operations at the rear of the cabinet.
 If the top outlet kit is configured, no space needs to be reserved at the rear.

UPS Cable Connection Reference

 When preparing cables, keep away from the cabinets to prevent cable scraps from entering the cabinets. Cable
scraps may cause sparks during power-on and cause personal injury or device damage.
 After installing cables, clean the cabinet top, bottom, copper bar wiring positions, and other positions. Ensure that
there is no dust or scraps inside and around cabinets.
 Prepare terminals onsite. The length of the copper wire should be the same as that of the part of the terminal that
covers the conductor.

Procedure
1. Route a cable into the cabinet and bind it to a nearby beam.
2. Pull the cable to the copper bar to which the cable is to be connected, determine the cable length, and mark the
cable at the position where the cable is to be cut.
3. Pull the marked cable out of the cabinet, cut the cable from the marked position, strip the cable, and crimp a
terminal.
Powering On Loads

Context
After the inverter starts, the UPS transfers to inverter mode, and the Bypass mode alarm on the MDU disappears.

Procedure
1. After confirming that the battery string is properly connected, switch on the battery string input circuit breaker. If
there are multiple battery strings, switch on the circuit breaker for each battery string and then the general
circuit breaker between the battery strings and the UPS. The No battery alarm on the MDU disappears.
2. Turn on the downstream output switch to supply power to loads.

When using the putty, ensure that the transparent film
faces upward.)

12 Cover installation After the checks are performed, reinstall all the covers.

Powering On and Starting the UPS

Prerequisites
Measure the voltage and frequency of the external input switch of the UPS. The voltage range is as follows:
 138–260 V AC (line voltage) in the 200 V AC/208 V AC/210 V AC voltage system
 138–485 V AC (line voltage) in the 380 V AC/400 V AC/415 V AC voltage system
 192–528 V AC (line voltage) in the 480 V AC voltage system

Shutting Down and Powering Off the UPS

1. Shut down the inverter.


 Shutting down the inverter on the LCD
Choose Common Functions > Inv. OFF. After confirmation, the inverter is shut down.

You can also choose System Info > Maintenance > Inv. OFF to shut down the inverter.
 Shutting down the inverter on the WebUI
Choose Monitoring > UPS System > Running Control, and click Inv. OFF.
2. If the inverter shuts down and the bypass is normal, the UPS transfers to bypass mode. The Bypass
mode alarm is displayed on the LCD.
3. Figure 7-4 Normal bypass

4. After you shut down the inverter, the UPS supplies no power if the bypass is abnormal, which causes a power
failure for the loads.
5. Figure 7-5 Abnormal bypass

7. To shut down the inverter and transfer the system to bypass mode, check that the UPS has not generated an
alarm and perform 1.
8. After the inverter shuts down, turn off the downstream output switch.
9. Switch off the battery string circuit breaker. If there are multiple battery strings, switch off the general circuit
breaker between battery strings and the UPS and then switch off the circuit breaker for each battery string.
10. Turn off the upstream mains and bypass input switches.

Parallel System Installation

Procedure
1. Ground each UPS in a parallel system separately, and connect power cables and battery cables.
2. Choose a parallel mode and connect power cables to the parallel system based on site requirements.
The typical scenario of a 1+1 parallel system is used as an example.
Figure 6-133 Conceptual diagram of a 1+1 parallel system

For a three-phase three-wire parallel system, connect cables according to the preceding conceptual diagram. In
addition, connect the mains input neutral wire of each UPS together using a single 150 mm 2 90°C-resistant
copper flexible cable.
