Paralleled UPS Modules
The basic installation procedure of a parallel system comprising two or more UPS modules is the
same as that of single module system. The following sections only introduce the installation proce-
dures specific to the parallel system.
3.2.1
Cabinet Installation
Place the UPS modules side by side and interconnect as shown in Figure 29. The distribution panel
(external bypass cabinet) is optional but recommended for ease of maintenance and system testing.
