systems.
The Symmetra® MW is a fault-tolerant system capable of handling and surviving overloads and
internal/external faults. The overload performances and fault clearings are possible when the system
meets specified minimum requirements for breaker settings.
A proper breaker coordination study is required to ensure the highest availability of the UPS. This
breaker coordination study should be performed focusing on maintaining the fault tolerant characteristics
of the Symmetra MW.
The following tables provide the optimum settings for the input and output breakers. The settings are
specified in the tables below, but some of them can also be found in the Electrical Specification section.
See separate manual on parallel operation for information on required breaker settings in
parallel systems.
