The circuit breakers recommended above respect the requirements for discrimination with the UPS fuses
Stick a label with the following text on each upstream circuit breaker:
"Isolate Uninterrptible Power Supply (UPS) before working on this circuit".

Curve N for the downstream circuit breaker
may be replaced by curve H or L, depending
on the installation.
The indicated protection ensures
discrimination for each output circuit
downstream of the UPS, whether supplied by
via the normal or the Bypass AC source. If
these recommendations are not followed, a
short-circuit on an output circuit can result in
a break in power longer than 20 milliseconds
on all the other output circuits.
