The recommendations in this table are guidelines only and are superseded by local regulations and codes of practice where applicable:
1. Take special care when determining the size of the neutral cable, because current circulating on the neutral cable may be greater than
nominal current in the case of non-linear loads. Refer to the values given in the UPS electrical characteristics in this table.
2. The ground conductor should be sized according to the fault rating, cable lengths, type of protection, etc. The ground cable connecting
the UPS to the main ground system must follow the most direct route possible.
3. Consideration should be given to the use of paralleled smaller cables for heavy currents, as this can ease installation considerably.
4. When laying the power cables, do not form coils. Coiling power cables increases the likelihood of electromagnetic interference.
