How to Read HVAC Chiller Nameplate for Short Circuit Analysis
(OP)

I am working on short circuit calculations for a system. There is an HVAC unit (nameplate attached). I did verify (Unit Power Supply) the cable and upstream protective device do meet the minimum circuit ampacity and max circuit breaker size, respectively. I have the following questions about the nameplate and how should it be modeled in the study software :
- I understand there are motors for compressors. Will this HVAC unit be modeled as an induction motor in study software?
- How to determine the HP/kW rating of this unit from the nameplate?
- Namepate shows TWO systems on the nameplate what does it imply? Is one backup to another?

Thank you, @jraef. Now I understand. In the manual on page 38, I see the kW also listed (attached snapshot). Here the total kW will be 66.7kW for the whole system correct?
