CalculateSizeofInverterforfollowingElectricalLoad.CalculateSizeofBa eryBankanddecideConnectionofBa ery.

1Noof200W,230V,0.8P.FComputer.
2Noof30W,230V,0.8P.FTubeLight.

Inverter/Ba eryDetail:

AdditionalFurtherLoadExpansion(Af)=20%
EciencyofInverter(Ie)=80%
RequiredBa eryBackup(Bb)=2Hours.
Ba eryBankVoltage=24VDC
LooseConnection/WireLossFactor(LF)=20%
Ba eryEciency(n)=90%
Ba eryAgingFactor(Ag)=20%
DepthofDischarge(DOD)=50%
Ba eryOperatingTemp=46C

Temp.C Factor
80 1.00
70 1.04
60 1.11
50 1.19
40 1.30
30 1.40
20 1.59

Calculation:

Step1:CalculateTotalLoad:

FanLoad=NoxWa =260=120Wa
FanLoad=(NoxWa )/P.F=(260)/0.8=150VA
ComputerLoad=NoxWa =1200=200Wa
ComputerLoad=(NoxWa )/P.F=(1200)/0.8=250VA
TubeLightLoad=NoxWa =230=60Wa
TubeLightLoad=(NoxWa )/P.F=(230)/0.8=75VA
TotalElectricalLoad=120+200+60=380Wa
TotalElectricalLoad=150+250+75=475VA

Step2:SizeofInverter:

SizeofInverter=TotalLoad+(1+Af)/IeVA

3/15/2017 CalculateSizeofInverter&BatteryBank|ElectricalNotes&Articles
SizeofInverter=TotalLoad+(1+Af)/IeVA
SizeofInverter=475+(1+20%)/80%
SizeofInverter=712VA

Step3:SizeofBa ery:

TotalLoadofBa eryBank=(TotalLoadxBackupCapacity)/Ba eryBankVolt

TotalLoadofBa eryBank=(380x2)/24AmpHr
TotalLoadofBa eryBank=32.66AmpHr
TemperatureCorrectionFactorfor46C(Tp)=1
SizeofBa eryBank=[(Load)x(1+LF)x(1+Ag)xTp]/[nxDOD]Amp/Hr
SizeofBa eryBank=(32.66x(1+20%)x(1+20%)x1)/(90%x50%)
SizeofBa eryBank=101.3Amp/Hr

HiMr.Parmar,

ThisisthersttimeIactuallyfollowandreviewthecontentofyourmails.Theresalotoferrorhere.

Firstly,youwontbeabletoget712VAwithyourformulaof475+(1+20%)/80%,unlessyoumultiply475torestsofthe
equation,notadd.

Secondly,totalloadofba erybankis31.66Ah,not32.66.

Thirdly,theunitforsizeofba erybankshouldremainAhnotAmp/Hour.

Ididnotnishtherestofthearticle.Theresprobablymoreerrordownthere.

Thanksfortheeort,anyway.

Bestregards,Ben
