Capacity and selection reference.
Typical capacity reference
| UPS size | Real power at 0.9 PF | Typical load |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kVA | 0.9 kW | Small server, POS, router |
| 3 kVA | 2.7 kW | Branch IT, CCTV, clinic desk |
| 5 kVA | 4.5 kW | Small server room, 32 cameras |
| 10 kVA | 9 kW | Server room, 6–8 racks |
| 20 kVA | 18 kW | Small data center, production cell |
| 60 kVA | 54 kW | Plant control, telecom core |
| 100 kVA | 90 kW | Hospital, commercial building |
| 200 kVA | 180 kW | Large data center, process plant |
Selection checks before quoting
| Check | Recommended approach | Risk if skipped |
|---|---|---|
| kW vs kVA | Divide kW by output PF, then add 20–25% | UPS runs at overload |
| Motor starting | Use soft starter or higher overload frame | Trips on start |
| Battery runtime | Use the discharge curve, not Ah ÷ current | Runtime shortfall |
| Charger | Confirm recharge current and time | Battery never fully recharged |
| Input current | Size breaker and cable for full load + charging | Nuisance trips and heat |
| Room | Check floor loading, ventilation and clearance | Installation delay |
