Moshulu Rob Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I can't remember any and can't be arsed to look them up. Can anyone tell me in watts what a peak demand of 4501 KVA on a three phase supply is please. I get 2.5million watts which can't be the maximum power we drew last month.thanksRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshulu Rob Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 great, I doubt we were pullling 3,825,000 watts of power at any time.R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest onlynik Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 * The only difference between kW and kVA is the power factor. Once again, the power factor, unless known, is an approximation. For purposes of our calculations, we use a power factor of .85. The kVA value is always higher than the value for kW. kW to kVA kW / .85 = SAME VALUE EXPRESSED IN kVA kVA TO kW kVA * .85 = SAME VALUE EXPRESSED IN kWTherefore 4501 x .85 assuming power factoer of 0.85=3825.85 KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshulu Rob Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Now comes the fun part tomorrow when I query our electricity bill of 20,000 with some inbred on their phone system, and try and explain why we couldn't possibly have drawn that much power at any one time.next up - does anyone have any examples of something that might draw that much power - EG 'no you fool, I know thats what the bill says but it can't be right because Pittordrie doesn't draw that much power during a night match with all the floodlights on. YOU FUCKING INBRED' or equivalent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdman Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 The biggest Dam in scotland generates that much power per hour but i'm guessing it'd take a village at least 2 weeks to use that sort of power.If thats not too great an example then solar pannels stretching kilometres in each direction cant generate that sort of power in a month.(not birdman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that a small oil-filled radiator is about 3KW rated, then it puts it into perspective. You're talking about your entire nightclub : Heating/cooling systems, lighting rigs, PA, all the regular lights, fridges, coolers, pumps, etc. What about the Bassment kitchens? Gas powered?

Moshulu Rob Posted October 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 they returned my call this morning and said they had mistakenly entered cumulative peak demand, not peak demand. Our peak demand was 50.4 kw.thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
