Requirements for a Third Party Battery Solution

Battery breaker boxes from Schneider Electric are recommended for the battery interface. Please contact Schneider Electric for more information.

Third Party Battery Breaker Requirements

⚠️⚠️ DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

  • All selected battery breakers must be equipped with instantaneous trip functionality with an undervoltage release coil or a shunt trip release coil.
  • Trip delay must be set to zero on all battery breakers.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: There are more factors to consider when selecting a battery breaker than the requirements listed below. Please contact Schneider Electric for more information.

Design Requirements for Battery Breaker

Battery breaker rated DC voltage > Normal battery voltageThe normal voltage of the battery configuration is defined as the highest nominal occurring battery voltage. This can be equivalent to the float voltage which may be defined as number of battery blocks x number of cells x cell float voltage.
Battery breaker rated DC current > Rated discharge battery currentThis current is controlled by the UPS and must include maximum discharge current. This will typically be the current at the end of discharge (minimum operation DC voltage or in overload condition or a combination).
DC landings Two DC landings for DC cables (DC+and DC-) are required.
AUX switches for monitoring One AUX switch mustbe installed in each battery breaker and connected to the UPS. The UPS can monitor up to four battery breakers.
Short-circuit breaking capabilityThe short-circuit breaking capability must be higher than the short-circuit DC current of the (largest) battery configuration.
Minimum trip current The minimum short-circuit currentto trip the battery breaker must match the (smallest) battery configuration, to make the breaker trip in case of a short circuit, up to the end of its life time.
Common battery solution Individual battery breakerfor each UPS in the parallel system.

Guidance for Organizing Battery Cables

NOTE: For 3rd party batteries, use only high rate batteries for UPS applications.

NOTE: When the battery bank is placed remotely, the organizing of the cables is important to reduce voltage drop and inductance. The distance between the battery bank and the UPS must not exceed 200 m (656 ft). Contact Schneider Electric for installations with a longer distance.

NOTE: To minimize the risk of electromagnetic radiation, it is highly recommended to follow the below guidance and to use grounded metallic tray supports.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Backfeed Protection

⚠️ DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Mandatory backfeed protection on bypass must be implemented by installation of upstream breaker with shunt trip or under voltage trip connected to the UPS. See diagrams and instructions below.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Installation of Third Party Backfeed Protection

Connect the breaker shunt trip/ under voltage trip and auxiliary contacts to the UPS as shown below. Use double insulated cables. Breaker shunt trip or under voltage trip must be rated for 24 VDC nominal, inrush max 20 W.

885-92858 (provided with the UPS) must be placed visible at the bypass upstream breaker.

⚠️ DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

In systems where backfeed protection is not a part of the standard design, an automatic isolation device (Schneider Electric backfeed protection option or other device, such as a breaker, switch, or contactor with trip function, meeting the requirements of IEC62040-1 or UL1778 5th edition – depending on which standard applies to your local area), is required to be installed to prevent hazardous voltage or energy at the input terminals of the isolation device. The device must be rated and controlled according to the specifications in this manual.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

When the UPS input is connected through external isolators that, when opened, isolate the neutral or when the automatic backfeed isolation is provided external to the equipment or is connected to an IT power distribution system, a label must be fitted at the UPS input terminals, and on all primary power isolators installed remotely from the UPS area and on external access points between such isolators and the UPS, by the user, displaying the following text (or equivalent in a language which is acceptable in the country in which the UPS system is installed):

⚠️ DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Risk of voltage backfeed. Before working on this circuit: Isolate the UPS and check for hazardous voltage between all terminals including the protective earth.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
