How big an uninterruptible power supply does the factory use

How do I determine the right uninterruptible power supply size?

To size your needs: Total watts of your equipment x their total amperage and add 15% of that total to get your total requirement. The difference in UPS capacity compared to its load can increase runtime if significant enough. This article explains how to determine the right uninterruptible power supply size to fit your needs.

What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)?

In some situations, where maintaining uninterrupted power supply is critical to the operation of a facility or associated electrical devices, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is an option. Here, we look at the different types of UPS and other considerations for selecting the correct unit/s

What is the power factor of an uninterruptible power supply?

Both uninterruptible power supplies support a load of 96 kW, which equates to 120 kVA at a power factor of 0.8. The traditional or legacy UPS installation comprises two 120 kVA modules operating in a 120 kVA N+N redundant configuration.

Is an uninterruptible power supply better than a modular UPS?

A traditional uninterruptible power supply may have a lower initial purchase price, but costs more to operate than a modular UPS solution for several reasons.

What factors should you consider when sizing a UPS unit?

The main factor to consider when sizing a UPS is essentially run time for the connected load, in the second part of this article, we will look at run time or hold-up time, battery types, physical sizing and installation of the UPS unit/s.

Does a ups provide enough power?

In most cases, a UPS will not provide enough power for long enough to keep all of the connected devices running, it is only intended to provide enough power until an alternative backup power system can be activated such as a generator, as a suitably sized generator/s which will keep the site or facility powered up until mains power is restored.
