What breaker size do I need for a 100 kVA ups?

I GF = Sensitivity threshold (typically 30 mA to 300 mA) A 100 kVA UPS operates at 400 V line-to-line with a power factor of 0.9 and efficiency of 0.95. Calculate the minimum input breaker size according to NEC. Result: Use a 225 A breaker for UPS input protection. A 50 kW UPS with 480 V input voltage and power factor 1.0 requires fuse protection.

What breaker size should a ups breaker be?

According to NEC 240.4 (B), the breaker size should be at least 125% of the continuous load current: I breaker ≥ 1.25 × I in 3. Fuse Rating Selection Fuse rating is typically selected as 125% to 150% of the UPS rated current, depending on fuse type and coordination: I fuse = k × I in, where k = 1.25 to 1.5 4.

What is a DC rated battery circuit breaker (BCB)?

These can be equipped with a monitoring device connected to the UPS or BMS to warn if a fuse has tripped or is disconnecting the battery from the UPS. The DC rated Battery Circuit Breaker (BCB) provides still overcurrent protection, if correctly coordinated, even though it is not as fast as the fuses.
