Technical FAQs 4

Does my ups need a grounding system?

Without a properly installed grounding system, your UPS won't function correctly. A grounding system allows circuit protection to clear a ground fault, and provides paths for diverting surge current away from the UPS and for removing undesirable currents from the critical load. So what can you do to ensure your grounding system allows your UPS

What is grounding in a ups?

Earthing (or grounding) is a critical safety feature in Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. It ensures the safe operation of the UPS and connected devices by providing a path for fault currents to dissipate into the ground, preventing electric shock, equipment damage, and fire hazards.

How do you ground an ups cabinet?

Finally, bond UPS cabinets to the nearest interior ground bus, using a green, insulated 2 AWG grounding wire. Installers typically mount the main ground bar (MGB) of a UPS room 24 in. above the finished floor and use zones for best grounding results. Your UPS will do its job only when it has the right infrastructure to support it.

How does an UPS system work?

The UPS system and the battery cabinet operates with mains, batteries or bypass power that carry high currents and voltages. The properly installed UPS system and battery cabinet is grounded to earth and NEMA-1 rated against electrical shock and foreign objects when all dead fronts are in place.
