A UPS dialog box will appear. To actually create a new UPS, press the New button at the bottom of the dialog box. Another UPS dialog box will appear after Design Master asks you to enter the callout for the new UPS you are creating.

Listed below are all the different fields and inputs found in the dialog box above. These fields all help to define the UPS in some way and are divided into three main categories. The first portion focuses on the definition of the UPS itself, followed by the fault analysis information, and then the specifications of the UPS feeder wires.

General UPS Definition

Field	Sets
Total Connected KVA	Displays the current, connected KVA load on the UPS.
Total Connected Amps	Displays the current, connected amps load on the UPS.
Volts	The voltage for the UPS
Mounting	Mounting type for the UPS.
UPS IG Bus	Indicates whether or not the UPS contains an Isolated Ground Bus.
Input KVA	The KVA rating for the UPS.
Efficiency
Output KVA	KVA output rating of UPS
Output KW	KW output rating of UPS
Power Factor	Ratio of output KW divided by output KVA
Plan View Block	There is only one option available when creating the plan view block, and that is Custom Rectangle. You must define the dimensions for each UPS individually.
Custom Dimension	Input for defining customized UPS block sizes.
Layer System	Indicates what layering system the UPS block will be drawn on.
Location	Field reserved for entering the physical location of the UPS in the building.
Note 1	Creates a note that may be inserted with the UPS on the one line diagram.
Note 2	Creates a note that may be inserted with the UPS on the one line diagram.

Fault Analysis

Field	Sets
Normal Feeder Length (ft)	Length of the conductor from the device feeding the UPS. Can be automatically calculated by Design Master, or input manually.
Bypass Feeder Length (ft)	Length of the conductor from the . Can be automatically calculated by Design Master, or input manually.
Fault @ Breaker (amps)	The fault current at the UPS. Can be automatically calculated by Design Master, or input manually.

Normal Feeder Specification

Field	Sets
Fed From	Displays where the UPS is fed from. This is set in the One Line Device Connections box.
Description in Upstream Device	How this UPS appears in the schedule of the device feeding it. Defaults to Callout, but may be customized.
Upstream OCP	Size of upstream breaker or fuse in the device feeding the UPS.
Conductor Amps	Select automatic sizing for the conductors, or use this field to select a specific conductor size.
Neutral	Choose to size the neutral wire at 100% or 200% of the phase conductors, select a specific conductor, or have no neutral at all.
Ground	Choose to automatically size the ground per the NEC as a service or equipment ground, or select a specific size.
IG Conductor	Toggle on or off an Isolated Ground conductor.
Size	This field displays the conduit and feeder sizes for the UPS, based on the settings above.

Bypass Feeder Specification

Field	Sets
Fed From	Displays where the UPS is fed from. This is set in the One Line Device Connections box.
Description in Upstream Device	How this UPS appears in the schedule of the device feeding it. Defaults to Callout, but may be customized.
Upstream OCP	Size of upstream breaker or fuse in the device feeding the UPS.
Conductor Amps	Select automatic sizing for the conductors, or use this field to select a specific conductor size.
Neutral	Choose to size the neutral wire at 100% or 200% of the phase conductors, select a specific conductor, or have no neutral at all.
Ground	Choose to automatically size the ground per the NEC as a service or equipment ground, or select a specific size.
Conduit Size	Choose to size the conduit automatically, or select a specific conduit size.
IG Conductor	Toggle on or off an Isolated Ground conductor.
Size	This field displays the conduit and feeder sizes for the UPS, based on the settings above.

The New, Copy, Save, Delete, Rename, and Find buttons work as they do for panels.
