Grounding Configuration, Corner-Grounded Delta or Impedance-Grounded Wye

As previously mentioned, Series 610 UPS modules require a bypass input neutral for sensing and

monitoring. With a wye-connected input source, the installer should always connect the building ser-

vice neutral to the module output neutral to achieve this. When the building service is delta-con-

nected, however, the installer must take special steps to ensure reliable UPS functioning.
If the building service is corner-grounded delta or impedance-grounded wye, the UPS requires the

Series 610 Isolated Neutral Kit. This kit uses control isolation transformers to create a reference

point. For this application, the UPS output neutral must not be bonded to the UPS ground.

These configurations have the same restrictions as explained in 6.2 - Alternate Grounding Config-

uration, Wye-Connected Service, except for the wye input. The UPS input and bypass must be fed

from the same source. The load must be strictly 3-wire. And the GFI time delay should be set to at

least 0.2 seconds to prevent tripping during transfer or retransfer operations.

!

CAUTION

Failure to properly set the ground fault interrupters could cause loss of power to the critical

load.
