FAQS 4

Is safety a mandatory requirement for UPS?

Ensuring the safety of service personnel is a mandatory requirement for UPS equipment and installations. Safety must be designed in to UPS systems; the only question is how to implement the safety design to achieve the maximum additional benefits in the form of improved system level resiliency.

How should a battery room be positioned?

The positioning of the battery room must be in close proximity to the UPS modules being supported. For voltage drop considerations, the UPS modules and battery systems should be in adjacent spaces— either side-by-side or vertically stacked. Battery room layouts should be clean and designed to maximize space usage.

How should a UPS system be stacked?

For voltage drop considerations, the UPS modules and battery systems should be in adjacent spaces— either side-by-side or vertically stacked. Battery room layouts should be clean and designed to maximize space usage. Proper code clearances must be maintained in and around battery strings for required maintenance support and life safety systems.

How do I install SMF VRLA batteries in a UPS system?

When installing batteries in a UPS system, especially SMF VRLA batteries, follow these simple steps to ensure safety: Battery Type: Use SMF VRLA batteries designed to recombine hydrogen gas safely. Hydrogen Gas: Manage hydrogen gas to prevent escape. Follow safety standards like IEEE-1187.
