This phrase refers to the process of calculating battery requirements for Schneider Electric uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, often using information found in technical specifications documents. It involves determining the appropriate battery size and runtime needed to support connected equipment during a power outage. An example would be determining the necessary battery amp-hour rating to provide 30 minutes of backup power for a server rack with a specific power draw.
Accurate battery sizing is crucial for ensuring sufficient backup power during outages, preventing data loss and equipment damage. Selecting appropriately sized batteries based on load requirements and desired runtime maximizes cost-effectiveness and avoids overspending on unnecessarily large batteries. Historically, this process relied heavily on manual calculations and consultation of physical documentation. Modern tools and software now simplify the process, often integrating directly with Schneider Electric’s resources.
