UPS SIZING

DESIGN BASIS
The UPS system configuration shall be capable of being operated in
Redundant Mode as specified in CLNo:4.2 of Data schedule for
Power Supply Uninterruptible , page 31 of 40 of PTS-1022.
In Redundant Mode, where each UPS modules (charger, inverter and
static switch assembly) shall be sized to independently carry the full AC
critical load. Under normal operating conditions, only one of the UPS
unit shall be operating and carrying 100% load whereas the other unit
shall be in standby mode. The failure of the operating UPS unit shall
cause the standby UPS unit to carry 100% of the critical load and
disconnect the inoperative module/unit from the critical load, which upon
repair shall resume standby operation.
In the event of failure of the second operating system, carrying 100%
load, when one system is already off-the line, the load shall be
transferred automatically, uninterrupted to the alternate source (bypass)
The Redundant UPS system configuration would be as per FIG-2, page
40 of 40 of 46-SMSS-3, Rev-2

3.2

The rated Input and Output characteristic of the UPS will be as follow,

As specified in CLNo:4.3 of Data schedule for Power Supply

Uninterruptible , page 35 of 40 of PTS-1022, 125V DC Vented Lead
Acid Type battery is proposed for UPS.

3.5

The Battery back-up time shall be 2-hours in case of normal AC supply

failures as per ClNo-2.4A.4, page 9 of 21 of APPENDIX-VII
(Instrumentation & Control) of PTS-1022.

4.0

UPS SIZING :

4.1

The individual input VA requirement for each load is calculated

considering power factor 0.8 as per the following equation.
Load in VA

Load in Watt
------------------------Power Factor

4.2

The sizing calculation worksheets is attached as Annexure-1

4.3

The critical loads, which are listed in Annexure-1, has been considered
for the UPS sizing calculation.

4.4

The Unit Loads(in watt) considered in Annexure-1 are on the basis of

assumption.

4.5

Growth Factor of 1.25 has been considered to allow future expansion of

loads as per Cl No-8.3, page 9 of 15 of SES-P-103.05.

5.0

CONCLUSION:

5.1

The UPS rating of 7 kVA is considered to be adequate as per

calculations in Annexure-1 attached.
