Battery Sizing
➢Sizing the battery using IEEE 485 (Vented Lead Acid Batteries)
▪ Continuous Load
▪ Momentary Load
▪ Worst Case Tripping
44
Continuous Loads
➢ Indicating lamps,
➢ Microprocessor Relays,
➢ Electronic Meters,
➢ SCADA Systems,
➢ Annunciators,
➢ Communication Equipment
o For loads that are non-linear such as power supplies, the current
increases as voltage declines.
o The watt rating is typically used to determine current at end of
battery cycle discharge voltage
45
Momentary Loads
➢Lock Out Relay (LOR)
➢Breaker tripping
➢Motor Operators
➢ Breaker Fail operation
❑ Considerations:
Operating sequence:
Worst Case Tripping 12D3 is normally closed,
no generation on feeder circuits
Operating time for MOS 10 seconds
Transformer T1 differential:
Trip 69CB1, 69CB3, 12CB1
Open 69DT1
Timing:
T=0cy (0 sec)
Trip 69CB1, 69CB3, 12CB1, open 69DT1
Current=12+12+8+60=92A
T=600cy (10sec)
Reclose 12CB2
Current=6A
From the above, the worst case tripping load is 96A for the 12CB1
breaker failure.
