 UPS sizing for IT

1.List all equipment to be protected by the UPS.(Remember to include

monitors, external hard drives, routers, etc.)
2.List the amps and volts for each device. These ratings can typically be
found on the label on the back of the equipment. Multiply amps by volts
to determine VoltAmps (VA). Some devices may list their power
requirements in watts. To convert watts to VA, divide the watts by power
factor. For servers, the power factor is often 0.9.
3.Multiply the VA by the number of pieces of equipment to get the VA
subtotals.
4.Add the VA subtotals together.
5.Multiply the total by 1.2 to get the grand total. This step accounts for future
expansion.
6.Use the grand total to select a UPS. When choosing a UPS, be sure that the
total VA requirement of supported equipment does not exceed the VA
rating of the UPS.

 Sizing the UPS

Up to now we consider the load power,Power factor and the crest factor less than 3.
We gave example about the machinery and calculate the UPS power for only one
machine which is balanced load (each phase power are equal)

Unbalanced load the calculation will be done from the highest phase and multiply by
three.

We have to consider the crest factor if it is more than 3.Most of the UPS producer
produces UPS with crest factor 3.If the load Crest factor is 3,9 we calculate the UPS
power as below.

Our load is about 45Kva

If the crest factor is less than 3 the UPS power will be atleast 45 x 1,2 = 54kVA and we
offer 60kVA UPS

If the crest factor is 3,9 UPS power will be 45 x 3,9 / 3 x 1,2 = 70,2 kVA and we offer
80kVA UPS
