• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded,
remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can
result in electric shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such
grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to
equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply
circuit).
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
When replacing batteries, always replace with the same type and number of

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• For parallel systems, instantaneous override (Ii) values must not be set
higher than 1250 A. Place the label 885-92556 adjacent to the upstream
circuit breaker to inform about the hazard.
• For UPS rating 20-120 kW: In parallel systems with three or more UPSs, a
circuit breaker must be installed on the output of each UPS. The unit output
breaker (UOB) instantaneous override (Ii) values must not be set higher than
1250 A.
• For UPS rating 150 kW: In parallel systems with two or more UPSs, a circuit
breaker must be installed on the output of each UPS. The unit output
breaker (UOB) instantaneous override (Ii) values must not be set higher than
1250 A.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: Only 3-pole circuit breakers are listed in the table below. For countries
where local directives require 4-pole breakers in all positions, the listed
references for breakers must be revised for ordering of breakers.
NOTE: For 4-pole breakers in bypass and if neutral conductor is expected to
carry a high current, due to line-neutral non-linear load, the circuit breaker
must be rated according to expected neutral current.
NOTE: For the scalable UPS (GVSUPS50K150HS), always size the upstream
protection for a UPS rating of 150 kW.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
All wiring must comply with all applicable national and/or electrical codes. The
maximum allowable cable size is 300 kcmil.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The maximum number of cable connections per busbar: Two on input/output/

bypass busbars; Four on DC+/DC- busbars; Six on N/G busbars.
NOTE: Overcurrent protection is to be provided by others.
Cable sizes in this manual are based on Table 310.15 (B)(16) of the National
Electrical Code (NEC) with the following assertions:
• 90 °C (194 °F) conductors (75 °C (167 °F) termination)
• An ambient temperature of 30 °C (86 °F)
• Use of copper or aluminum conductors
Equipment grounding conductors (EGC) are sized in accordance with NEC Article
250.122 and Table 250.122.
If the ambient temperature is greater than 30 °C (86 °F), larger conductors are to
be selected in accordance with the correction factors of the NEC.
NOTE: For the scalable UPS (GVSUPS50K150GS), always size the cables
for a UPS rating of 150 kW.
NOTE: Recommended cable sizes and maximum allowable cable size may
vary for the auxiliary products. Not all auxiliary products support aluminum
cables. Refer to the installation manual provided with the auxiliary product.
NOTE: The DC cable sizes given here are recommendations – Always follow
the specific instructions in the battery solution documentation for DC cable
sizes and DC EGC cable sizes and ensure that the DC cable sizes match the
battery breaker rating.
NOTE: Neutral conductor is sized to handle 1.73 times phase current in case
of high harmonic content from non-linear loads. If non or less harmonic
currents are expected, neutral conductor can be sized accordingly but not less
than the phase conductor.
NOTE: 20-40 kW: DC cables are sized according to 32 battery blocks. 50-100
kW: DC cables are sized according to 40 battery blocks.

Requirements for a Third Party Battery Solution

Battery breaker boxes from Schneider Electric are recommended for the battery
interface. Please contact Schneider Electric for more information.

Third Party Battery Breaker Requirements

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
All selected battery breakers must be equipped with instantaneous trip
functionality with an undervoltage release coil or a shunt trip release coil.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: There are more factors to consider when selecting a battery breaker
than the requirements listed below. Please contact Schneider Electric for more
information.

Design Requirements for Battery Breaker

Battery breaker rated DC voltage > Normal battery The normal voltage of the battery configuration is
voltage defined as the highest nominal occurring battery
voltage. This can be equivalent to the float voltage
which may be defined as number of battery blocks x
number of cells x cell float voltage.
Battery breaker rated DC current > Rated discharge This current is controlled by the UPS and must include
battery current maximum discharge current. This will typically be the
current at the end of discharge (minimum operation
DC voltage or in overload condition or a combination).
DC landings Two DC landings for DC cables are required.
AUX switches for monitoring One AUX switch must be installed in each battery
breaker and connected to the UPS. The UPS can
monitor up to two battery breakers.
Short-circuit breaking capability The short-circuit breaking capability must be higher
than the short-circuit DC current of the (largest)
battery configuration.
Minimum trip current The minimum short-circuit current to trip the battery
breaker must match the (smallest) battery
configuration, to make the breaker trip in case of a
short circuit, up to the end of its life time.

Guidance for Organizing Battery Cables

NOTE: For 3rd party batteries, use only high rate batteries for UPS
applications.
NOTE: When the battery bank is placed remotely, the organizing of the cables
is important to reduce voltage drop and inductance. The distance between the
battery bank and the UPS must not exceed 200 m (656 ft). Contact Schneider
Electric for installations with a longer distance.
NOTE: To minimize the risk of electromagnetic radiation, it is highly
recommended to follow the below guidance and to use grounded metallic tray
supports.
