The Symmetra® MW is easily integrated into either a solid grounded system, or a high-impedance
grounded system.
In a solid grounded system, the neutral power source (mains, generator, or UPS) is solidly grounded. In
the event of a down-stream ground fault, the fault current will have a path back to the source, and the
over-current device feeding the faulted part of the installation will trip and isolate the fault.
In a high-impedance grounded system, the source is grounded with an impedance (grounding resistor).
In the event of a down-stream fault, the fault current will be limited by the impedance of the grounding
resistor. The value of a high-impedance system is its ability to maintain operation with a given system
fault to ground, i.e. the over-current device will only trip at line-to-line faults or double ground faults.
For a high-impedance system to provide enhanced power system reliability and availability, a groundfault monitoring/alarm system is required.
Note: Grounding electrode conductor to be supplied by the customer.
For more information refer to “Appendix” in Installation Guide.

Required Breaker Settings (400 V Systems)
Note: Contact APC Application Team for Required Breaker Settings in 380 V and 415 V
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.

* Ip = Abridgment for Prospective short-circuit current.
This is the current that would flow in the fault circuit is the fuse was
replaced by a link with an infinitely small impedance
22 kA is the maximum peak let-through current (including safety factor) present during clearing of an
internal fault in a 200 kW section or a power module. This maximum peak let-through current is based
on and applicable to utility with prospective short-circuit currents (Ip) up to 200 kA.During or after a
controlled fault clearing, none of the breakers are allowed to trip on the instantaneous trip setting below
the specified value. This is also applicable to the upstream breakers, and a check of the instantaneous trip
setting in this part of the installation is required.
The instantaneous trip setting calculated by a professional engineer in a breaker coordination study must
not disable the functionality of clearing and surviving an internal fault unless there is a written agreement
between APC by Schneider Electric and the customer.
By ensuring the unit’s fault clearing ability (survival skills) i.e. using the correct instantaneous trip
settings in the switch gear (installation), maximum power availability in normal operation is obtained for
the critical load.
Note: The instantaneous trip setting can be calculated when utility Ip is known. An incorrect
trip setting can result in limiting the system functionality and jeopardize the load support.

Note: The instantaneous trip setting must not be derated even though the UPS system is
derated in system output power. The system size has no influence on the instantaneous trip
setting.
Note: For derated systems, the APC Application Team can provide the correct breaker settings
and breaker frame sizes.
Note: For upstream breakers not mentioned in the table, the APC Application Team can
provide the correct breaker settings for on-line, overload, and trip currents.
The following diagram shows a dual mains system in which the upstream breakers are named

Appendix
System and Protective Earthing
The purpose of this appendix is to describe the system- and protective earthing principles of the
Symmetra® MW.
Caution: All wiring to be in accordance with applicable national and/or local electrical
wiring rules.
TN Systems
Characteristics
TN systems have one point connected directly to ground. All exposed conductive parts must be
connected to that point by protective conductors.
Depending on the way the neutral and protective conductors are fed, there are three types of TN systems:
• TN-S system: a separate protective conductor is used in the system
• TN-C-S system: the neutral and protective conductors are combined to one single conductor in a
part of the system
• TN-C system: the neutral and protective conductors are combined to one single conductor in the
whole system
Reference to IEC 60364-4-41 413.1.3
All exposed conductive parts of the installation must be connected to the earthed point of the power
system by protective conductors which must be earthed at or near to each relevant transformer or
generator.
Exposed conductive parts that are accessible at the same time must be connected to the same earthing
system, either individually, in groups or collectively.
Normally the earthed point of the power system is the neutral point. If a neutral point is not available or
accessible, a phase conductor must be earthed. The phase conductor must not serve as a PEN conductor.
In fixed installations a single conductor may serve both as a protective conductor and a neutral conductor
(PEN conductor).
Reference to IEC 60364-5-54 546.2.3
If from any point in the installation the neutral and protective functions are provided by separate
conductors, it is inadmissible to connect these conductors to each other from that point. At the point of
separation, separate terminals or bars must be provided for the protective and neutral conductors. The
PEN conductor must be connected to the terminal or bar intended for the protective conductor.
Symmetra MW II 1200 kW 3 × 400/230 V Installation - 990-1979E-001
23
If there are other effective earth connections, the protective conductors must be connected to such points
when it is possible. It may be necessary to earth at additional points to ensure that the potentials of
protective conductors remain as close as possible to that of earth in case of a fault.
Additional requirements for generating sets (IEC 60364-5-55 551.4.2)
To be used when the generating set provides a switched alternative to the public supply.
Protection by automatic disconnection of supply must not rely on the connection to the earthed points of
the public supply system when the generator is operating as a switched alternative to a TN system. A
suitable earth electrode must be provided.
Protective devices in TN systems
The following protective devices are recognized in TN systems:
• Overcurrent protective devices
• Residual current protective devices (not to be used in TN-C systems)
SOURCE
L1
L1
Residual Current Sense
When a residual current protective device is used in a TN-C-S system, a PEN conductor must not be
used on the load side. The connection of the protective conductor to the PEN conductor must be made on
the source side of the residual current protective device (see below illustration):
L1
PEN
L1
L1
L1
N
LOAD
PE
The characteristics of protective devices and the circuit impedances shall be such that, if a fault of
negligible impedance occurs anywhere in the installation between a phase conductor and a protective
conductor or exposed conductive part, automatic disconnection of the supply will occur within 5 seconds
(valid for distribution circuits), the following condition fulfilling this requirement:
Zs × I a ≤ U0
In the condition:
24
Zs
is the impedance of the fault loop comprising the source, the live conductor up to the point of the
fault, and the protective conductor between the point of the fault and the source
Ia
is the current causing the automatic operation of the disconnecting protective device within a
conventional time not exceeding five seconds
U0
is the nominal AC RMS voltage to earth
Symmetra MW II 1200 kW 3 × 400/230 V Installation - 990-1979E-001
If a fault occurs close to the UPS (before the power distribution) while the UPS system is in Battery
Operation and Bypass is unavailable, the available power is unable to activate the protective device. In
that situation the Inverter will shut down in five seconds (IEC 60364-4-41 413.1.3.5 norm). If a residual
current protective device is used, this device will disconnect the supply.
The four diagrams show the Symmetra MW installed in four different TN systems:
• Earthing arrangements and protective conductors - Symmetra® MW in “TN-S installation”
• Earthing arrangements and protective conductors - Symmetra® MW in “TN-S installation” (Legal
in DK - special cases)
• Earthing arrangements and protective conductors - Symmetra® MW in “TN-C-S installation”
• Earthing arrangements and protective conductors - Symmetra® MW in “TN-C installation”
TT Systems
Characteristics
TT systems have one point connected directly to ground and all exposed conductive parts of the
installation must be connected to an earth electrode. This earth electrode is independent of the power
system earthed point.
Reference to IEC 60364-4-41 413.1.4
All exposed conductive parts that are protected collectively by the same protective device must be
connected to a common earth electrode together with the protective conductors. In installations where
several protective devices are utilized in series, the requirement applies separately to all exposed
conductive parts protected by each device.
The neutral point or, if a neutral point does not exist, a phase conductor of each generator station or
transformer station must be earthed.
Protective devices in TT systems
The following protective devices are recognized in TT systems:
• Overcurrent protective devices
• Residual current protective devices
Overcurrent protective devices are only applicable for protection against indirect contact in TT systems
where a low RA value exists (see specification below).
The condition R A × I a ≤ 50V must be fulfilled.
In the condition:
RA
is the sum of resistance of the earth electrode and the protective conductor for the exposed
conductive parts
Ia
is the current causing the automatic operation of the protective device.
When the protective device is a residual current protective device, Ia is the rated residual operating
current I Δ n
Symmetra MW II 1200 kW 3 × 400/230 V Installation - 990-1979E-001
25
For discrimination purposes, S-type residual current protective devices may be used in series with
general type residual current protective devices. To provide discrimination with S-type residual current
protective devices, an operating time not exceeding 1 second is permitted in distribution circuits.
When the protective device is an overcurrent protective device, it must be either:
• a device with inverse time characteristics and Ia must be the current causing automatic operation
within 5 seconds, or
• a device with an instantaneous tripping characteristic and Ia must be the minimum current causing
instantaneous tripping
The following diagram shows a Symmetra® MW installed in a TT system:
• Earthing arrangements and protective conductors - Symmetra® MW in “TT installation”
IT Systems
Characteristics
In IT systems the installation is insulated from earth or connected to earth through a sufficiently high
impedance. Exposed conductive parts are earthed individually, in groups, or collectively.
Reference to IEC 60364-4-41 413.1.5
In IT systems the installation must be insulated from earth or connected to earth through a sufficiently
high impedance. This connection must be made either at the neutral point of the system or at an artificial
neutral point. The latter may be connected directly to earth if the resulting zero-sequence impedance is
sufficiently high. In installations where no neutral point exists, a phase conductor can be connected to
earth through an impedance. In case of a single fault to an exposed conductive part or to earth, the fault
current will be low and disconnection will not be imperative.
Exposed conductive parts must be earthed individually, in groups or collectively and the condition
RA × Id ≤ 50V must be fulfilled.
In the condition:
RA
is the resistance of the earth electrode for exposed conductive parts
Id
is the fault current of the first fault of negligible impedance between a phase conductor and an
exposed conductive part. The Id value takes the leakage currents and the total earthing impedance
of the electrical installation into account
In systems where an IT system is used for continuity of supply, an insulation monitoring device must be
provided to indicate the occurrence of a first fault from a live part to the exposed conductive parts or to
the earth. It is recommended to eliminate a first fault as soon as possible.
26
Symmetra MW II 1200 kW 3 × 400/230 V Installation - 990-1979E-001
Depending on whether all exposed conductive parts are interconnected by a protective conductor
(collectively earthed) or are earthed in groups or individually, after a first fault, the disconnection
conditions of the supply for a second fault must be as follows:
1. In installations where the exposed conductive parts are earthed in groups or individually, the
protection conditions for TT systems apply (see 413.1.4.1)
2. In installations where the exposed conductive parts interconnected by a protective conductor
collectively earthed, the conditions for TN systems apply
In installations where the neutral is not distributed, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
3 × U0
Z s ≡ -------------------2 × Ia
In installations where the neutral is distributed, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
U0
Z′ s ≤ ------------2 × Ia
In the condition:
U0
is the nominal AC RMS voltage between phase and neutral
Zs
is the impedance of the fault loop comprising the phase conductor and the protective conductor of
the circuit
Z′ s
is the impedance of the fault loop comprising the neutral conductor and the protective conductor of
the circuit
Ia
is the operating current of the protective device. The disconnecting time is 5 seconds (distribution
circuits)
Protective devices in IT systems
The following protective devices are recognized in IT systems:
• Insulation monitoring devices
• Overcurrent protective devices
• Residual current protective devices
