Fire Water Pump UCP Power Requirements..
(OP)
Dear All,
I was wondering if anybody could help me with a question about Fire Water Pumps and particularly with the UCP.
I would like to know, how are the UCP powered on a Fire Water Pump package?. There are 2 diesel driven Pump and one E.Motor driven.
I am after the power requirement for the UCP to operate. How could I know this?.
I looked to what the Vendor has offered but all I can see is Volts and Amps... and no KW requirements.
Thank you very much,
Any help would be appreciated.

I have been asked by someone at work but I am not quite sure.

RE: Fire Water Pump UCP Power Requirements..
The required voltage and amperage are based on the pump's rated capacity in GPM and PSIG. The pump manufacturer will select the electric motor based on its required Brake Horsepower and listing to satisfy the pump's rated capacity. The required size and number of conductors to satisfy the pump's rated capacity is specified by the pump manufacturer.

As a distributor of fire pump houses/skids, one of the key items not adequately coordinated are the electrical requirements in accordance with NEC article 695 and the correct voltage.
