Constant Power Discharge Calculation Example
Constant Power Discharge Tables Previous Page Next Page
DUTY: 400 KVA for 15 minutes
Power Factor: 0.80
Efficiency: 0.90
Maximum Voltage: 435 volts
Minimum Voltage: 306 volts
Temperature: 25° Centigrade
Power Requirement: KVA x Power Factor / Efficiency
400 x 0.80 / 0.90 = 355.6 kW
Maximum number of cells: Maximum Voltage / 2.25 volts (nominal cell float voltage)
435 / 2.25 = 193 cells
Minimum Cell Voltage: Minimum Battery Voltage / Number of Cells
306 / 193 = 1.58 volts
Watts per Cell Required: Power Requirement (Watts) / Number of Cells
355.6 x 1000 / 193 = 1843 Watts
From the data sheets for Constant Power discharges to 1.60 volts for 15 minutes
