    Installation Instructions To minimize disturbances from other loads in the building, the 3-phase power input to the FPC should be supplied directly from the service entrance or other power source (a dedicated power feeder). The input feeder circuit should be sized in accordance with the NEC and any local building codes to ensure the feeder’s ability to safely carry the system’s full load current, including losses.

    1.3.2 Junction Box Installation Main input (power) and low-voltage (control) junction boxes are available for the Liebert FPC to sim- plify customer connections. The junction boxes, if used, can either be shipped with the system or can be advance-shipped for installation during the roughing-in stage of new construction.
  • Page 19: System Grounding

    System Grounding The performance and safety of any power conditioning system depend on proper grounding. Figure 12 shows the typical grounding arrangements for the Liebert FPC. Equipment Grounding Equipment grounding is primarily for safety. Correct implementation of grounding also enhances equipment performance.
  • Page 20: Grounding Electrode Conductor For Fpcs With Transformer

    1.3.4 Grounding Electrode Conductor for FPCs With Transformer Required by code - The Liebert FPC with transformer must be grounded according to the safety practices of NEC 250-26. A local grounding electrode conductor is recommended in addition to the equipment safety ground which is normally run with the input power conductors. (See Figures 5 through 8.)

  • Page 22: Output Power Connections

    For best performance, the Liebert FPC should be installed as close as practical to the load. Initial system output loading should be between 50% and 75% of rated capacity. This allows the addi- tion of loads without immediately investing in another power conditioner.

  • Page 24: Control Wiring Connections

    When more than one power center is installed by the user, a typical requirement is that actuation of a single device (REPO for example) must shut down all power centers. The low-voltage control circuits of all standard Liebert FPC systems are designed to meet this requirement. External Control Wiring Connections External control wiring connections for remote shutdown, alarm, and/or monitoring are made to the low-voltage junction box (if used) or to the low-voltage control terminal strip located inside the unit.
