How to calculate power consumption in a DCS system

2016-09-08View Original

Thread Content

How does everyone calculate the power consumption in their systems? How to determine the size of the main circuit breaker for powering a system?

Specification: The power capacity required for the instruments should be calculated as 1.2 to 1.5 times the total power consumption of the measuring and control instruments. In this way, it should be possible to determine the power consumption of the DCS system by using the capacity of the UPS as a reference.

To calculate it precisely, one adds up the power of each electrical device.
