    2 UPS with one STS

    It sounds to me that ScottyUK's suggestion will get the job done. Since you are cascading the UPS's, you will need a utility source incase the backup UPS requires service. A panel with two breakers and a mechanical interlock will suffice, since a break in power would be allowed on the backup...

    Boost to 600V from 480V

    I have an old Westinghouse pamphlet that describes in detail the calculations and the connections. I also found a diagram in the Square D technical Library (www.squared.com) under Transformers (Dry Type Transformer Application Guide). Both of the sources indicate that you can expect to get 433...

    3-phase motor 500V/50Hz/0,75kW/575V/60Hz/0,86kW - correction

    jwerthman is correct. If the motor is a special motor, or a part of a piece of equipment, you may want to utilize a three phase boost circuit to provide a volts/hertz ratio that is comparable to the v/hz ratio of the rated motor. If not, then a motor of the proper rating is in order...

    Standard Generator Testing

    While some of the tests you have outlined may be "type" tests, you have specified that the tests be run as part of the factory testing. We typically ask for all the tests you have indicated and ask for measurements of fuel consumption, vibration analysis, coolant temperature and...

    Sizing Step Down Transformers

    I apologize for the incorrect formula. The correct formula is VA = VOLTS X AMPERES X SQRT(3)/1000.

    Sizing Step Down Transformers

    From the basic three phase power calculation, KVA = VOLTS X AMPERES X SQRT(3)/2. Your 800 ampere, 208 volt additional load is 288 KVA. The input and output voltages are to be found on the nameplate of the existing transformer. I suggest that you engage a profewssional engineer to assist you...
