1.0MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1.1Introduction
This following section describes the requirements that must be taken into account when planning the
positioning and cabling of the Liebert NXL Input/Output Cabinet.
This chapter is a guide to general procedures and practices that should be observed by the installing
personnel. The particular conditions of each site will determine the applicability of such procedures.
NOTICE
All equipment not referred to in this manual is shipped with details of its own mechanical and
electrical installation.
NOTICE
Three-phase input supply required.
The standard Liebert NXL UPS is suitable for connection to three-phase, four-wire (+ Earth)
TN-C, TN-S, IT-G, IT-IG or, three-phase, three-wire plus ground, IT-UG.
If using with IT Power system, a 4-pole disconnect device must be included as part of building
installation.
Mechanical Installation
1.2Preliminary Checks
Before installing the cabinet, please carry out the following preliminary checks:
• Visually examine the cabinet for transit damage, both internally and externally. Report any damage to the shipper immediately.
• Verify that the correct equipment is being installed.
• Verify that the UPS room satisfies the environmental conditions stipulated in the equipment
specification, paying particular attention to the ambient temperature and air exchange system.
1.3Environmental Considerations
1.3.1UPS Room
The cabinet intended for indoor installation and should be located in a cool, dry, clean-air environment.
When bottom entry is used, the conduit plate must be installed.
NOTE
The UPS is suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surface only.
1.4Positioning
The Liebert NXL Input/Output Cabinet is structurally designed to withstand lifting from the base.
CAUTION
!
Risk of unit tipping over. Can cause equipment damage and personal injury.
Floor mount brackets must remain attached to the frame until the unit is being placed in its
final, installed position. (The final installation will always require the unit to be bolted to
another Liebert NXL product.) Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
equipment damage and/or injury to personnel.
2
1.4.1Moving the Cabinets
The Liebert NXL Input/Output Cabinet can be handled with a forklift or similar equipment.
When moving the unit by forklift, care must be taken to protect the panels. Do not exceed a 15-degree
tilt with the forklift. Bottom structure will support the unit only if the forks are completely beneath
the unit.
Handling the cabinet with straps is not authorized.
1.4.2Clearances
Clearance around the front of the equipment should be sufficient to enable free passage of personnel
with the doors fully open. Installation must leave a distance of 24" (610mm) between the top of the
cabinet and any overhead obstacles to permit adequate circulation of air coming out of the unit.
Space must be reserved on the left side of the I/O cabinet. The UPS Rectifier/Inverter cabinet can be
mounted only on the left side of the I/O cabinet.
1.4.3Floor Installation/Anchoring
If the equipment is to be located on a raised floor, it should be mounted on a pedestal designed to
accept the equipment point loading. Refer to the base view to design this pedestal.

2.0ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This chapter provides guidelines for qualified installers who must have knowledge of local wiring
practices pertaining to the equipment to be installed.
WARNING
!
Risk of electrical shock. Can cause injury or death.
Check for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters before working within the cabinet.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate safety headgear, gloves,
shoes and glasses should be involved in installing the cabinet or preparing the cabinet for
installation.
2.1External Protective Devices
For safety, circuit breakers must be installed in the input AC supply and external battery system.
Given that every installation has its own characteristics, this section provides guidelines for qualified
installation personnel with knowledge of operating practices, regulatory standards and the equipment to be installed.
External overcurrent protection must be provided. See Tables 1 through 4 for overload capacity.
Dual Input
Electrical Installation
When wiring the cabinet with a separate rectifier and bypass input, each input must be protected separately.
Size the breakers according to the input currents shown in Tables 1 and 2.
2.2Power Cables
The UPS will require both power and control cabling. All control cables, whether shielded or not,
should be run separate from the power cables in metal conduits or metal ducts which are electrically
bonded to the metalwork of the cabinets to which they are connected
The cable design must comply with the voltages and currents in Tables 1 through 4, follow local wiring practices and take into consideration the environmental conditions (temperature and physical
support equipment and methods), room temperature and conditions of installation of the cable and
system’s overload capacity.
For cable entry terminal, refer to Figure 1.
WARNING
!
Risk of electrical shock. Can cause injury or death.
Before cabling the UPS, ensure that you are aware of the location and operation of the
external isolators that connect the input/bypass supply to the power distribution panel.
Check that these supplies are electrically isolated, and post any necessary warning signs to
prevent their inadvertent operation.
NOTICE
For dual input operation, ensure that any busbars between the bypass and the rectifier input
are removed.
When sizing battery cables, a maximum volt drop of 2VDC is permissible at the current ratings given
in Table 4.
4
The following are guidelines only and are superseded by local regulations and codes of practice where
applicable:
• Take special care when determining the size of the neutral cable (grounded conductor), because
current circulating on the neutral cable may be greater than nominal current in the case of nonlinear loads. Refer to the values in Tables 2 and 3.
• The grounding conductor should be sized according to the fault rating, cable lengths, type of protection, etc. The grounding cable connecting the UPS to the main ground system must follow the
most direct route possible.
• Consideration should be given to the use of smaller, paralleled cables for heavy currents, as this
can ease installation considerably.
2.2.1Power Cable Connection Procedure
Equipment Ground
The equipment ground busbar is located as shown in Figure 1. The grounding conductor must be
connected to the ground busbar and bonded to each cabinet in the system.
All cabinets and cabling should be grounded in accordance with local regulations.
NOTICE
Proper grounding reduces problems in systems caused by electromagnetic interference.
Electrical Installation
WARNING
!
Risk of fire and electrical shock. Can cause equipment damage, personal injury or death.
Failure to follow adequate grounding procedures can result in electric shock hazard to
personnel, or the risk of fire, should a ground fault occur.
All operations described in this section must be performed by properly trained and qualified
electricians or technical personnel. If any difficulties are encountered, contact Liebert
Services. See the back page of this manual for contact information.
The grounding and neutral bonding arrangement must be in accordance with local and
national codes of practice.
Once the equipment has been positioned and secured, connect the power cables as described in the following procedure.
Refer to the appropriate cable connection drawing in Figure 3 or 4.
1. Verify that the equipment is isolated from its external power source. Check that these supplies
are electrically isolated and post any necessary warning signs to prevent their inadvertent
operation.
2. Open exterior and interior panels on the front of the I/O.
3. Connect the ground and any necessary main bonding jumper to the equipment ground busbar
located in the I/O section.
4. Make power connections and tighten the connections to the proper torque according to one of the
two procedures below, depending on the type of installation:
NOTE
Ensure correct phase rotation.
• Top Cable Entry (see Figure 3)
• Bottom Cable Entry (see Figure 4)

Electrical Installation
Top Cable Entry
When making the power connections, the recommended order of pulling and installing cables
is to start from the top connections to the bottom connections. The cables must be routed
around the fault braces (see Detail in Figure 3). This is to prevent the cables from contacting
other busbars. The recommended conduit layout is shown in Figure 1.
Bottom Cable Entry
When making the power connections, the recommended order of pulling and installing cables
is to start from the bottom connections to the top connections. The cables must be routed
around the fault braces (see Detail in Figure 3. This is to prevent the cables from contacting
other busbars. The recommended conduit layout is shown in Figure 1.
NOTE
For a Single Input configuration, linking busbars must be installed between the bypass and
the rectifier input.
WARNING
!
Risk of electrical shock. Can cause injury or death.
If the load equipment will not be ready to accept power on the arrival of the commissioning
engineer, ensure that the system output cables are safely isolated at their termination.
WARNING
