RPA PARALLEL SYSTEM CONNECTION
WARNING !
This operation must be performed by a GE SERVICE TECHNICIAN before the initial
start-up (ensure that the UPS installation is completely POWERED DOWN).
4.9.1
Power wiring of parallel units
To guarantee good
Load
sharing between the units of a
Parallel System
, we recommend that the cable
length from the input distribution board (5) to the output distribution board (9) is equal for each unit (a+b
= c+d = e+f = g+h = i+l = m+n = o+p = q+r).
Tolerance:
+/-10%
.
The AC input power of the
Bypass
must be the same for all units of the
Parallel System
- no phase shift
allowed between units.
NOTE !
It is strongly recommended that no transformers, automatic circuit breakers or
fuses should be inserted between the unit’s output and the Load common bus bars.
However, it is recommended that a disconnection or isolation switch is installed in
order to totally isolate a unit if needed.
Verify that power wiring and control wiring run in separate conduits or cable trays.
The power wiring requires two separate conduits: one for input and one for output cables.
