Safety

Overview

Save these instructions

This manual contains important instructions that must be followed during installation, operation, and

configuration of the InfraStruXure system.

Safety symbols used in this manual

Indicates an electrical hazard, which, if not avoided, could result in injury or

Electrical

Hazard

Warning

death.

Indicates a hazard, which, if not avoided, could result in personal injury or damage to the product or other property.

Indicates a potential hazard which could result in damage to product or other property.

Caution

Indicates important information.

Note

Indicates a heavy load that should not be lifted without assistance.

Heavy

Indicates a standby state. When in standby, the unit is not operating, but it may still

contain hazardous voltage. It is not safe to service until the equipment is disconnected

from all sources of electrical power.

Cross-reference symbols used in this manual

Indicates that more information is available on the same subject in a different section of

this manual.

Warnings

Receiving/moving

Do not tilt the PDU greater than 45° from its vertical axis. Never lay the PDU on its side.

Installation/Maintenance

Only a certified electrician can:

• Connect the PDU to its power source

• Connect a switch to the EPO interface on the PDU

• Install a customer-specified, hard-wired power cable

Only a certified electrician or an APC Field Service Engineer can perform maintenance of the PDU.

When you connect the PDU to its power source, you must install a circuit breaker to protect the PDU

against over-current. Determine the type of circuit breaker that you need to install:

Input Voltage Circuit Breaker Size

480V 225A

600V 200A

Maintenance performed while the PDU is receiving input power

APC does not recommend that you perform maintenance of the PDU while it is receiving input

power. However, due to the critical nature of data center loads, this may occur. If you must perform

maintenance while the PDU is receiving input power, observe the following precautions to reduce the

risk of electric shock:

1. Never work alone.

2. Perform the maintenance only if you are a certified electrician who is trained in the hazards of

live electrical installation.

3. Know the procedure for disconnecting electricity to the PDU and the data center in case of an

emergency.

4. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

5. Use double-insulated tools.

6. Always follow local and site regulations when working on the PDU.

2 150kW InfraStruXure System—Installation and Start-Up

Safety: Warnings

Total Po w e r Off

1. Set the PDU Main Input to OFF.

2. Set the upstream power source feeding the PDU to OFF.

Emergency Power Off (EPO)

Hazardous voltage from the branch circuit must be isolated from the 24VAC, 24VDC, and contact

closure terminals. 24VAC and 24VDC are considered Class 2 circuits as defined in Article 725 of the

National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and Section 16 of the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1).

A Class 2 circuit is a source having limited voltage and energy capacity as follows:

a. If an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30VAC,

less than 30VDC, and 8A.

b. If not an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than

30VAC, less than 60VDC, 250VA, and the current is limited to 1000/Vmax. The fuse is

limited to 5A if less than 20VAC or 20VDC, or 100/Vmaximum if less than 30VAC or

60VDC.

If you choose to use a 24VAC, 24 VDC, or contact closure connection to the EPO, use one of the

following UL-listed wire types:

• CL2 Class 2 cable for general purpose use

• CL2P Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other space used for environmental air

• CL2R Riser cable for use in a vertical run shaft from floor to floor

• CL2X Limited Use cable for use in dwellings and for use in a raceway

• For installation in Canada, the cable should be CSA Certified, type ELC (extra-low-voltage

control cable).

If you do not use a CL2 cable, route the EPO wiring in conduit that does not contain any branch

circuit wiring.

Safety: Warnings

EMI

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with this user manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference. The user will

bear sole responsibility for correcting such interference.

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
