BATTERY AH CALCULATION FOR 5 KVA UPS SYSTEM

1 Output KVA : 5 KVA

2 Output Power Factor : 0.8
3 Nominal DC voltage : 214.8 VDC
4 End cell Voltage (ECV) : 1.10 VDC
5 Number of cells (CELLS) : 179 Cells
6 Maximum DC voltage : 286.40 VDC
7 Minimum DC voltage : 196.9 VDC
8 Inverter Efficiency (EFF) : 88.0%
9 Backup time : 720 mins
10 Battery type : Ni-cd

IDC [Max.] = KVA X PF X 1000

CELLS X ECV X EFF

= 5 X 0.8 X 1000
179 X 1.1 X 0.8800

= 23.09 Amp.

By applying Aging Factor (0.8) : 0.80 = 28.86 Amp.

By applying Design Margin (%) : 1.00 = 28.86 Amp.
By applying Temp. Derating factor (25 Deg. C) : 1.00 = 28.86 Amp.

By applying state of charge factor : 0.89 = 32.42 Amp. (Specified)

By applying capacity factor (720 mins) : 12.00 = 389.07 Ah
