Greetings,
In a new critical facility I have a 120V 20KVA UPS (which I can only load to 18kVA) which feeds (4) 120V-1P panels. These panels serve 120V lighting and receptacles. I'm trying to figure out how much load I can put on each panel.
Customer requires only loading to 80% = 18kVA or 150A at 120V.
This gives 150/4=37.5A per panel. Is this correct thinking?
180VA/receptacle
the lighting is on 24/7 and desktop computers are, too. Don't know how many will actually be plugged in. So the lighting is continous and some of the rcpt loads are.
Any one have advice for this kind of bldg?
