Apc Silcon
Which size of electric cable is proper to feed a 60 kW apc Silcon type 3 phase UPS in Max. load. ?
First and foremost as stated you should contact an electrician if your intent is replace, rewire cabling and such especially if this UPS will be supporting a mission critical system.
With that out of the way define what you mean by size length, gauge (AWG)? Is the UPS a cabient, if so it will most likely be going to a 220v drop. Do you have the original cable, the marking on the wire jacket will (should) give gauge, voltage, and some have tempts on em.
The point is there are a bunch of choices if your not familiar with the NEC and such, that's an issue because only a few will options will be correct, there's a lot of room for error is all I'm saying (e.g. forgetting to add the earth ground).
Now say you're a DIY type and you want to figure this out, I would pick up a wiring installation book at Lowes/Home Depot/Myers then get your hands on the UPS instruction booklet and go to town.
good luck, don't fry yourself.
