    Generator Set Sizing

    The document discusses sizing a generator set for a plant to power two submersible pumps for a water tank. It determines that a 128KVA/100KW continuous, 138KVA/110KW standby generator rated at 415V, 3P and 50Hz would be adequately sized to simultaneously start and run the two 40HP pumps, which have a locked rotor KVA of 5.3 each, using wye-delta starters with a 10% voltage dip allowed. The calculations show the selected 125KVA generator model can handle the starting KVA load of both pumps starting sequentially with a 10% voltage drop in the alternator.

    GENERATOR SET SIZING FOR FWPH AT SPL POLYMERS LTD, MANALI PLANT

    GENERATOR SIZING FACTORS:

    Generator capacity (kVA) is determined no only by total load, but also by motor size, configuration,
    starting sequence and possible motor-starting aids.

    Data on load to be driven by the DG set to be installed in the FWPH (NEW) for make up water tank
    replenishing using submersible pumps:

     Usage rating of DG set STAND-BY RATING: 500 HOURS PER YEAR AT 100% LOAD OUT
    OF WHICH 300 HOURS IS CONTINUOUS RUNNING MODE.

     Starting sequence Immaterial since both motors are of same capacity

     SKVA rating (>15HP <=40HP) Locked rotor kVA requirements: 5.3 mean value (see Table)

     Starting aid WYE start and DELTA starter supplied by KISHORE PUMPS

     Voltage dip allowed Maximum 20%. Calculations to be done also for 10%

     Kirloskar DG set chosen KeP171W with 6R1080TA

     Recommended rating KVA Continuous: 128 KVA (100KW) Stand-by: 138 KVA (110KW)

     Alternator efficiency 86.5%

    The starting KVA required by a motor starting at full voltage is determined from the nameplate on the
    motor or from the manufacturer.

    In general it is accepted that small motors requires higher starting KVA than larger motors. Standard 3
    phase motors often have these locked rotor codes:

    * less than 1 hp: Locked Rotor Code L, 9.0-9.99 KVA

    * 1 1/2 to 2 hp: Locked Rotor Code L or M, 9.0-11.19

    * 3 hp : Locked Rotor Code K, 8.0-8.99

    * 5 hp : Locked Rotor Code J, 7.1-7.99

    * 7.5 to 10 hp : Locked Rotor Code H, 6.3-7.09

    * more than 15 hp <40 hp : Locked Rotor Code G, 5.6-6.29

    * more => 40 hp : Locked Rotor Code F, 5.0-5.59

    J1. SKVA FOR 20% DROP IN VOLTAGEFOR MODEL 6R1080TA 167KVA 167KVA

    (REFER TABLE ENCLOSED FOR SKVA FOR VOLTAGE DROPS)

    CONCLUSION: FROM THE ABOVE CALCULATION SHEET IT IS CLEAR THAT FOR MODEL NO 6R1080TA,
    ASSUMING THAT A MAXIMUM DROP OF TERMINAL VOLTAGE IN THE ALTERNATOR IS 10%, THE SIZING IS
    JUST ABOUT RIGHT FOR STARTING ONE KISHORE PUMP OF RATING 40HP WHEN ANOTHER KISHORE
    PUMP OF EQUAL RATE IS RUNNING. THE POINT TO BE NOTED IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE RATING OF
    THE MOTOR IS 40 HP THE ACTUAL FULL LOAD OF THE SUBMERSIBLE PUMP WOULD NOT BE GREATER
    THAN 35 HP AND SO THE SELECTED SIZING OF THE MODEL OF DG IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR
    SIMULTANEOUS RUNNING OF TWO MOTORS WITH SEQUENTIAL STARTING ON WYE START AND DELTA
    RUN STARTERS. FOR 20% VOLTAGE DROP, IF ACCEPTABLE (INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS ACCEPTED FOR
    MOMENTARY VOLTAGE DIP IS 20% WHICH WOULD NOT BE LOW ENOUGH TO TRIP MOTORS OR
    RELEASE CONTACTORS) WOULD MAKE THE OFFERED SIZE OF DG MORE THAN ADEQUATELY SIZED.
