Crusoe Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 This is my first post. I need to re-start a three phase Variable speed motor for a brief period (1 min) after a power failure. I intend using a 220Volt single phase UPS to supply a 220Volt single phase inverter to control a 3.0kW 3 phase motor connected in 220Volt Delta. NB a 3 phase UPS is too expensive Typically a UPS has an out power factor of 0.7. How do I calculate the size of the UPS? - for a 3kW load, would I need a UPS which was 3000/0.7 = 4285VA (nearest unit 5kVA)? How do I calculate the line current of a single phase inverter? What implications/ pitfalls does this have in my application? Any comments or advise would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance Crusoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
