Appendix D – Input/Output Cabling Guide
The 4400 Series UPS can be configured with a variety of Input and Output voltage transformers to
accommodate different Input/Output voltage combinations.
Table D.1 – UPS Power Lug Cable Capacity and Torque Specifications
Table D.2 –
Recommended Minimum Input Cable Size for 3-Phase/4-Wire + G
Table D.3 –
Recommended Minimum Output/Bypass Cable Size for 3-Phase/4-Wire + G
Table D.4 – Recommended Minimum Cable Size for 3-Phase/3-Wire + G
Table D.5 – Recommended Minimum Cable Size for 3-Phase/3-Wire + G
Table D.6 – Recommended Battery Cabling
Table D.7 – Input Transformer Current for Given Input Voltage
Table D.8 – Output Transformer Current for Given Output Voltage
Tables D.2 and D.3 list the recommended Power Cable sizing for each of the UPS – Vin/Vout transformers.
Ampacity should be determined using Table 310.16 of the NEC (National Electrical Code) for 75° copper
conductors.
NOTES:
•
3-Phase/4-Wire cable sizing calculations based on 4-6 current carrying conductors per conduit. (NEC
Table 310.15(B)(2)(a))
•
Neutral cable sizing in Table D.2 and D.3 is based on allowing, when possible, 1.7 x I(line) for current
carrying Neutral. Otherwise, the maximum cable size allowed by the UPS power lug is specified.
•

–
For ease of installation, consider the alternative of substituting two (2) line-sized neutral
cables in place of a single larger neutral cable in 3-Phase, 4-Wire 80kVA installations
