9315 UPS (300–500 kVA) Installation Manual S 164201118 Rev H www.powerware.com

2.1 Preparing Your Site

For your UPS system to operate at peak efficiency, the installation site should meet the

environmental specifications outlined in the Powerware 9315 (300–500 kVA) UPS Operation

Manual. If you intend to operate the UPS at an altitude higher than 1500m (5000 ft),

contact your service representative for important information about high altitude

operation. The operating environment must meet the size and weight requirements shown

in Table N on page A−15.

The basic environmental requirements for operation of the UPS system are:

A Ambient Temperature Range: 0–40°C (32–104°F)

A Recommended Operating Range: 20–25°C (68–77°F)

A Maximum Relative Humidity: 95%

The UPS and input transformer cabinets use forced air cooling to regulate internal

component temperature. The battery and optional component cabinets use convection

cooling to regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the front of the

cabinet, and outlets are in the top. You must allow clearance in front of and above each

cabinet for proper air circulation.

2.2 Environment Considerations

The life of the UPS system is adversely affected if the installation does not meet the

following guidelines:

1. The UPS system must be installed on a sealed concrete pad on a sealed concrete

floor.

2. The UPS system must be installed in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of

conductive contaminants.

2.3 Preparing for Wiring the UPS System

For external wiring requirements, including the minimum AWG size of external wiring, see

Table A through Table G beginning on page A−2. The power wiring connections for this

equipment are rated at 90°C (194°F). If the ambient temperature is greater than 30°C

(86°F), a higher temperature and/or larger size wire may be necessary. Wiring for optional

accessories (such as a Remote Monitor Panel or Relay Interface Module) should be

installed through the knockout in the bottom of the UPS cabinet. The top entry connection

requires installation of 13 mm (0.5″) flexible conduit within the UPS. Bottom entry

connection requires no additional routing of conduit within the UPS.
