Calculation:
Step 1: Calculate Total Load:
Fan Load= No x Watt =260=120 Watt
Fan Load=(No x Watt)/P.F=(260)/0.8= 150VA
Computer Load= No x Watt =1200=200 Watt
Computer Load=(No x Watt)/P.F =(1200)/0.8= 250VA
Tube Light Load= No x Watt =230=60 Watt
Tube Light Load=(No x Watt)/P.F =(230)/0.8= 75VA
Total Electrical Load=120+200+60 =380 Watt
Total Electrical Load=150+250+75= 475VA
Step 2: Size of Inverter:
Size of Inverter=Total Load+(1+Af) / Ie VA
Size of Inverter= 475+(1+20%) / 80%
Size of Inverter= 712 VA
Step 3: Size of Battery:
Total Load of Battery Bank= (Total Load x Backup Capacity) / Battery Bank Volt
Total Load of Battery Bank=(380 x 2) / 24 Amp Hr
Total Load of Battery Bank= 32.66 Amp Hr
Temperature Correction Factor for 46C (Tp)=1
Size of Battery Bank=[ (Load) x (1+LF) x (1+Ag) x Tp] / [n x DOD] Amp/Hr
Size of Battery Bank= (32.66 x (1+20%) x (1+20%) x 1) / (90% x 50%)
 Size of Battery Bank= 101.3 Amp/Hr
Step 4: Connection of Battery:
If We Select 120 Amp Hr , 12V DC Battery for Battery Bank:
Series Connection:
Series configurations will add the voltage of the two batteries but keep the amperage rating (Amp Hours)
same.
Condition-I :
Selection of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Each Battery <= Volt of Battery Bank
Selection of Battery for Voltage =12< 24
Condition-I is O.K
No of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Battery Bank / Volt of Each Battery
No of Battery for Voltage =24/12 = 2 Nos
Condition-II :
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr = Amp Hr of Battery Bank <= Amp Hr of Each Battery
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr =3<=120
Condition-II is O.K
We can use Series Connection for Battery & No of Battery required 2 Nos

Parallel Configuration
In Parallel connection, the current rating will increase but the voltage will be the same.
More the number of batteries more will be the amp/hour. Two batteries will produce twice the amp/hour of a
single battery.
Condition-I :
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr = Amp Hr of Battery Bank / Amp Hr of Each Battery <=1
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr =101/120 = 0.84=1 Nos
Condition-I is O.K
Condition-II :
Selection of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Battery Bank = Volt of Each Battery
Condition-II :Selection of Battery for Voltage for Amp Hr = 24<=12
Condition-II is Not Full Fill
We cannot use Parallel Connection for Battery as per our requirement But If We do Practically It is Possible
and it will give more Hours of back

Series-Parallel Connection:
Connecting the batteries up in series will increase both the voltage and the run time.
Condition-I :
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr = Amp Hr of Each Battery <= Amp Hr of Battery Bank
 Selection of Battery for Amp Hr =120<=101
Condition-I is Not Full Fill
Condition-II :
Selection of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Each Battery <= Volt of Battery Bank
Selection of Battery for Voltage = 12<=24
Condition-II is OK
We cannot use Parallel Connection for Battery
If We Select 60 Amp Hr , 12V DC Battery for Battery Bank:
Series Connection:
Selection of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Each Battery <= Volt of Battery Bank
Selection of Battery for Voltage =12< 24
Condition-I is O.K
No of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Battery Bank / Volt of Each Battery
No of Battery for Voltage =24/12 = 2 Nos
Condition-II :
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr = Amp Hr of Battery Bank <= Amp Hr of Each Battery
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr =3<=60
Condition-II is Not Full Fill
We can use Series Connection for Battery
Parallel Configuration
Condition-I :
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr = Amp Hr of Battery Bank / Amp Hr of Each Battery <=1
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr =101/60 = 1.63=1 Nos
Condition-I is O.K
Condition-II :
Selection of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Battery Bank = Volt of Each Battery
Condition-II :Selection of Battery for Voltage for Amp Hr = 24=12
Condition-II is Not Full Fill
We cannot use Parallel Connection for Battery as per our requirement.
Series-Parallel Connection:
Condition-I :
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr = Amp Hr of Each Battery <= Amp Hr of Battery Bank
Selection of Battery for Amp Hr =120<=60
Condition-I is OK
No of Battery for Amp Hr = Amp Hr of Battery Bank / Amp Hr of Each Battery
No of Battery for Amp Hr = 120/60 =1.68 =2 Nos
Condition-II :
Selection of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Each Battery <= Volt of Battery Bank
Selection of Battery for Voltage = 12<=24
Condition-II is OK
No of Battery for Voltage = Volt of Battery Bank / Volt of Each Battery
No of Battery for Voltage = 24 / 12 =2 Nos
No of Battery Required = No of Battery Amp Hr x No of Battery for Voltage
No of Battery Required = 2 x 2= 4 Nos

We can use Series-Parallel Connection for Battery
