Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: ALL safety instructions in the Safety Sheet (990-2822) must be read,

understood and followed prior to installation. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage, serious injury, or death.

Warning: Parallel operation is not available when the system is set up for 3-wire operation, which only applies to Japanese systems.

Caution: All electrical power and power control wiring must be installed by a qualified electrician, and must comply with local and national regulations for maximum power rating.

Note: The cables must be routed by the electrician but not attached. The field service engineer from APC by Schneider Electric will install the parallel communication box and attach all cables to the UPSs.

Note: Up to four UPS units can run in parallel.

Prepare for Floor-Anchoring (optional)

UPS UPS UPSUPS

Note: If floor anchoring and battery securing is required, read this section. If not, see “Prepare for Parallel Communication Cables” on page 5.

Note: Allow for enough working space behind the enclosure for electrical work to be carried

out (e.g. if you want to install a conduit box or if you want to connect an XR Battery Enclosure at a later stage). Minimum rear clearance is 100 mm (3.93 in) and must comply with applicable national and local codes. 600 mm (23.6 in) is recommended.

Note: The L-shaped floor anchoring brackets that secured the enclosure to the pallet during shipment may be used for a stand-alone UPS enclosure to enhance stability. See this chapter for hole positions and see also “Level the Enclosures (L-shaped Floor Anchoring Brackets) and Install Batteries” on page 15. The L-shaped floor anchoring brackets are not necessary when baying enclosures together. Instead, the three U-shaped floor anchoring brackets from the baying kit are used.

Note: Hole positions are only intended as a guide.

System arrangements

APC recommends the following arrangements of UPS units and XR Battery Enclosures (XR) in parallel.

Examples with two parallel systems using baying kits.

Note: UPS units and their respective XR Battery Enclosure must be bayed together. XR

Battery Enclosures must never be shared in a parallel UPS system.

Smart-UPS® VT 10-40 kVA 380/400/415 V - 208/220 V - 200/208 V Installation in Parallel4

Prepare for Parallel Communication Cables

Three different ways of routing cables

Note: The enclosures in a parallel system can be kept apart, or they can be assembled with

interconnection plates (SUVTOPT011 APC Smart-UPS VT Parallel Operation Baying Kit). If the enclosures are kept apart the communication cables can be run in conduits (if applicable).

The routing of cables between the UPSs can be done in three different ways:

1. UPSs apart (without conduits and without interconnection plates)

2. UPSs bayed together (without conduits and with interconnection plates)

3. UPSs apart or bayed together (with conduits and optional interconnection plates).

Schematic overview of the PBus cables layout

Note: The cables must be run by the electrician but not attached. The Field Service Engineer

from APC by Schneider Electric will attach all cables to the UPS(s) and install the parallel communication box.

Note: The PBus cables run from UPS 1 to UPS 2 to UPS 3 to UPS 4 if your configuration consists of 4 UPSs.

Note: The PBus cables are labelled PBus 1 and PBus 2.

Note: PBus 1 cables must be kept together and PBus 2 cables must be kept together. If you by

mistake run a cable between a PBUS1 terminal and a PBUS2 terminal you will be notified by the display.

Note: If the configuration consists of only two UPS units, the terminators must be installed in UPS 1 & 2. With three UPS units the terminators must be installed in UPS 1 & 3.
