//The brief & what we delivered

Place twelve UPS systems and expertly DC-cable them to the battery breakers.

On a UPS, the standby power stands or falls with the DC connection to the batteries: too thin, too long or badly crimped and you lose reliability. First Case placed 12 Schneider Galaxy VXL UPS systems in a colocation data center in the Amsterdam region and ran twelve 95 mm² DC cables per UPS to the battery breaker, with the right M10 lugs and properly crimped. The feedthroughs in the gland plates of UPS and breaker were prepared in advance, so the installation ran tight and fast. Every conductor was labeled on both ends.

The scope: transport of the twelve UPS systems from the loading dock, preparing the feedthroughs, supplying and installing the DC cables (a maximum of 8 m per cable) and labeling all conductors.
