Important Notice The UPS ground (earth) conductor carries leakage current from the loads in addition to any leakage current generated by the UPS. This UPS generates no more than 0.5 mA of current (U model), or 1 mA of current (A & E model). To limit the total leakage current to 3.5 mA, the load leakage must be limited to 3 mA on the U model and 2.5 mA on the A &...
