    Calculating Total Power Requirements For Data Center

    Uploaded by

    Ravi Shankar
    This document provides a calculation to determine the power requirements for a datacenter. It calculates the critical load from IT equipment which is 488KW. It then adds additional allowances for future loads, UPS inefficiency, lighting, and cooling to get a total power requirement of 958KW. It sizes the electrical service from the utility at 1324KW to meet regulations and allow for power factor correction on the UPS. The document recommends a standby generator sized at 1324KW to support the critical and cooling loads.
