Recommended current protection
Note 1: If the available fault current of the installation is below 30 kA, a lower kAIC-rated breaker can be
used.
Note 2: For breaker settings, refer to below table listing available overload currents.
Note 3: If the available fault current of the installation is less than 1200 A for the 10 kVA and 15 kVA UPS
sizes, and below 2300 A for the 20 kVA and 30 kVA UPS sizes, a breaker (of the same value as for the
bypass input) can be used.
Note 4: Recommended maximum rating of a single-fuse configuration if the internal bypass is to be protected
during a load short-circuit.
Minimum breaker settings for 10 kVA UPS
Note 1: For the output value, the short-circuit-level is indicated.
Note
AC output over-current protection and AC output disconnect must be provided by the
customer.
