|
| The output power factor is low. |
| |
|
| The output power factor is less than 70% leading |
| |
|
| or lagging. A simplified explanation of power |
| |
|
| factor is the ratio of energy being supplied to |
| |
|
| energy being used by the load. For a given load, |
| |
|
| the current output of the UPS goes up as power |
| |
|
| factor decreases. |
| |
|
| This results in the UPS output being derated. |
| |
|
| For example, study the following: |
| |
|
| Load = 100 kw @ 480V |
| |
|
| amps = kw X 1000 / volts X power factor X 1.73 |
| |
|
| (square root of 3) | Press “SILENCE” to silence the audible alarm. | |
|
| 100kw X 1000 = 100000 | ||
|
| Evaluate the load on the UPS. For more | ||
Low Power Factor | 480volts X .9PF X 1.73 = 747.36 | |||
information, contact your | ||||
|
| 100000/747.36 = 133.8 amps | ||
|
| provider. | ||
|
| Now, replace the .9 power factor (typical | ||
|
|
| ||
|
| computer load power factor) with .7 power factor: |
| |
|
| 100kw X 1000 = 100000 |
| |
|
| 480volts X .7PF X 1.73 = 581.28 |
| |
|
| 100000/581.28 = 172 amps |
| |
|
| The load remains the same, but the current |
| |
|
| required to supply it is roughly 30% higher. The |
| |
|
| extra current is wasted energy that can result in |
| |
|
| nuisance trips of breakers, overheating of cables, |
| |
|
| and other unwanted conditions. The UPS cannot |
| |
|
| control the output power factor. |
