Check the nameplate of the unit. It should indicate the VA or Watts and a time. Your needs are 100 KW for 2 hours or 200KW-Hour. Take into consideration any losses or power drops near the end, so size the UPS to somewhat larger.

Salim,

There are two (2) parts to this question.

First is the size of the UPS.
UPSs are sized in KVA with an allowance generally down to PF=0.8. So you need a 120kVA UPS to cater for the load at any given time.

Second is run-time.
A Rotary UPS can't help you past about 60secs.

A Static UPS runs on batteries.
The size of the battery bank associated with your UPS needs to have an AmpHour rating sufficient for two (2) hours.

So you need to look at the UPS find out what the battery voltage is. Then install sufficient AmpHours at that volatge to give you the run time you are after.

I suggest you get your UPS Vendor or electrician to help you out with the battery connections.

Regards,
Sapper.

Mr.Sapper

I need the formula to calcuate the capacity of UPS required to serve the load of 200KW.

1. How we can calculte with formula for KAV rating for the load said above

2. How we can calculate the battery capcity will be used for the above load metioned.

3. How many battery will required. How to calculate with formula

4.Output volatge of UPS should be 415Volts (AC)

We can consider the pf 0.8. You had give the 120KVA rating of UPS how you arrrived can you give these calculation with formula. This will be help me

Best Regards

S.Pathan

Salim,

Do you have a UPS or are you looking for a UPS?

I have told you how to work out what you need.

If you can not apply that information then get a UPS Supplier to scope the requirements and supply you with a UPS Solution.

In your last post you specified a 100kW load now it is 200kW you will have to make up your mind at some stage as to what you are really after.

I want to buy new UPS for the load of 100KW and back time required 2hours .

Vendor can give the UPS for suitable load . My question is on which formula we can calculate the UPS

1. Which formula required to get the capcity of UPS

2. On wich formula we can calculte many bettery required for this UPS

Data you can consider

Output voltage of UPS 415VAC ,

Input Supply Volatge 415VAC , 50Hz

Consider PF 0.8

Distance of cable from the UPS output to be used 50meter

Your KVA rating as has has been already informed = 100/0.8 = 125 KVA by prev posts

Hence your UPS should be rated for minimum 125 KVA rating.

Next is your back-up battery bank

Assume your batteries are 9V so you need 125000/9 = 13888 A = say 14 KA and that for 2 hours

So your batteries added up AH rating should be at least 28 KAH @9V

say one battery provides you with 3 KAH rating (will be avl on the battery) - so you need 9.33 = 10 such batteries at least.

Salim,

Before you go out and buy Batteries for the UPS with a run time of two (2) hours.

I suggest you look at Batteries for 15-30minutes and a generator to support the site until mains power is restored.

In the long run this will be a more cost effective option.

Batteries have to be replaced every 7-10 years depending on how they are looked after. Two (2) hours is a lot of batteries for 120KVA-125kVA.

Regards,
Sapper.
