A detailed report of the damage is necessary for any indemnity claim. Packing material recycling GE, in compliance with environment protection, use only environmentally friendly material. UPS packing materials must be recycled in compliance with all applicable regulations.
In this case, REMOVE the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3 on the input terminals or bus bars. See Fig. 3.8.4-2 for SG Series 10 & 20 and Fig. 3.8.5-2 for SG Series 30 & 40. Common input Rectifier & Bypass The same power source is to be used for both Bypass Supply and Rectifier Input (input F3).
If circuit selectivity is required while the load is fed from the inverter (Bypass Utility not available), the largest fuse or circuit breaker should be rated at no more than 20% of the UPS output current rating.
