4. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The enclosed rack systems provide the necessary DC backup power required in UPS applications. Over-
current breaker/fuse protection is supplied. DC connections are front accessible and made via terminal
blocks and/or mechanical lugs. Refer to the drawings and schematics at the end of this manual for these
connections. Racks are equipped with 3-pole breakers. There are 2 holes per polarity on 300 Amp to 600
Amp breakers. Breakers 30 Amps to 250 Amps have a single hole per polarity. See table below for
standard output lug sizes of breakers.
During normal conditions the UPS supplies the load power and the necessary power required to keep the
batteries at the proper float voltage. Verify that the charger is set to charge parameters within the approved
float voltage range of the batteries, refer to manufacturer’s battery operation and maintenance manual.
When AC fails, the batteries discharge in order to provide the necessary backup power. It is the responsibility
of the customer to make sure the batteries are not discharged below the battery manufacturer’s
recommendations. Always recharge batteries per manufacturer’s battery operation and maintenance manual.
Batteries will be damaged if not recharged right away. See the UPS or DC system manual for more
information.
