Question: The engineer shows a 500kva ups module and the secondary side is being protected by a 1000AT. I am coming up with 800AT. Am I suppose to be using something other than 125% for my calc? or is the engineer wrong?
Thanks
Ya, I get the same thing, 800AT for a 500KVA, 3 phase, 480VAC output. Maybe the UPS is modular and can be upgraded in KVA, say to 550KVA, so the engineer is allowing for this. But it would seem CB for the 500KVA operation would be set for 800AT, and if increased, the trip unit changed to 1000AT when the larger capacity is installed.
Seems like a good idea to find out what UPS manufacturer and model is being purchased to check on this.
What wire capacity is shown for the output, I would figure 1000A?
