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

Does a transformer based ups need to be grounded?

If bypass mode is employed, the transformer-based UPS’s output neutral must be connected to the input neutral. The output neutral should not be connected to the earth in this design. Not having a transformer- The output neutral does not need to be grounded because it follows the source neutral and lacks a transformer.

What should I consider when installing an ups?

When considering a UPS installation, it is important to take into account the power system and the earthing requirements. For safety reasons proper UPS earthing is a must in case of a short circuit ensuring that a loop circuit is established for the fault current to return to its origin and thereby make the OCPD operate.

Why do I need a grounding system?

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 Your UPS is only as reliable as your grounding system.
