The table above is for 400 V interphase voltages and a load with a power factor of 0.9.
For other voltages (380 or 415 V), the current values must be multiplied by 1.05 and 0.96 respectively.
The battery current is an average current for a battery voltage of 488 V (44 blocks at 1.85 V/cell each), at Pn with a power
factor of 0.9.
Stick a label with the following text on each upstream circuit breaker / switch-disconnector: "Isolate Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) before working on this circuit".
Selection of protective devices is determined by the maximum continuous current (at 380 V).
Protection ratings are calculated for the maximum continuous current (at 380V).

The circuit breakers / switch-disconnectors recommended above respect the requirements for discrimination with the UPS
fuses.
Depending on the installation, the CB/SD may be replaced by a CB/SD with a higher breaking capacity.
* For short-circuit currents > 40 kA, use a CB/SD with a higher breaking capacity (type L or H).
