Total Current on IPS Input at 230 V = SMR I/P Current + Track CVT I/P Current Required Generator source capacity= Total current on IPS I/Px230x1.3 (safety factor)=
a) The calculation is made at the AC Input Mains voltage of 230V and DC busbar nominal voltage of 110V . The input current at 230V will increase at 150V AC to a value as shown above and the input source may be ensured to provide this load.
b) Signalling load of 16.14A at 110V DC except track circuit is considering the loads for Spare cell charger, Data logger & SSI equipment connected to IPS. Also, though block line, block tele and Route indicator are intermittent loads, the sizing is based taking it continuous load as worst condition.
c) Point load is not considered for this calculation as its is momentary ( <10secs) and that the surge current required by point machines is provided by battery during this period.
d) Track Circuits load are directly fed from the Mains / DG Set through a CVT and Step Down Transformers and not through Inverter. Axle counters have been used only for block proving and not in lieu of track cirucits.

Wired slots may be utilised for any other application like Datalogger etc.
Not required in addition to Main and route signal
Battery back up is expected to increase by 2 -3 hrs. since load of 16.87A is under worst condition.
Permissible depth of discharge taken as 50%, since battery shall not be able to recoup full charge if it is deep discharged frequently i.e 70% or 80% and its service life will also gets reduced.

Track circuit Load calculationEach track circuit wattage = 12.00

No of Track Circuits = 15
Total Track circuit load (VA) = 363.64
Total Wattage of track circuits at the input of CVT (VA ) = 454.55
Total Current at Input of Track CVT at 230V A.C. (Amp) = 1.98

Hence the nearest standard Generator Capacity selected = 10KVA
Notes :
Following assumptions have been made in above calculation -
Each track circuit VA including Track feed charger and Track Transformer =
Considering track feed charger efficiency 55% and transformer efficiency 90%
Total Current on IPS Input at 230 V = SMR I/P Current + Track CVT I/P Current Required Generator source capacity= Total current on IPS I/Px230x1.3 (safety factor)=
a) The calculation is made at the AC Input Mains voltage of 230V and DC busbar nominal voltage of 110V . The input current at 230V will increase at 150V AC to a value as shown above and the input source may be ensured to provide this load.
b) Signalling load of 16.87A at 110V DC except track circuit is considering the loads for Spare cell charger, Data logger & SSI equipment connected to IPS. Also, though block line, block tele and Route indicator are intermittent loads, the sizing is based taking it continuous load as worst condition.
c) Point load is not considered for this calculation as its is momentary ( <10secs) and that the surge current required by point machines is provided by battery during this period.
d) Track Circuits load are directly fed from the Mains / DG Set through a CVT and Step Down Transformers and not through Inverter. Axle counters have been used only for block proving and not in lieu of track cirucits.
