Illustrative example only. Actual capacity is determined by on-site measurement, inrush currents and the required battery runtime.
Every business has unique energy demands, operational intensity, and backup requirements. Therefore, selecting the right system is not only about choosing equipment but also determining the correct capacity, evaluating environmental conditions, and planning according to both current and future operational needs. ELSIPOWER develops tailored energy solutions to ensure uninterrupted power continuity and long-term operational reliability.
Why it mattersWhy Is Site Survey & Project Planning Important?
Incorrectly selected UPS systems, insufficient voltage regulator capacity, or improperly planned battery systems can lead to serious consequences such as power outages, equipment failures, operational downtime, data loss, and production interruptions. Professional site survey services help eliminate these risks by accurately analyzing your electrical infrastructure and identifying critical loads.
Proper project planning ensures that the correct UPS capacity, battery backup duration, voltage regulation requirements, and installation structure are determined in advance. As a result, your systems operate more safely, efficiently, and with a longer service life.
Scope of consulting
- UPS capacity (kVA) and type: online, line interactive or modular
- Battery backup runtime and battery bank design
- Voltage regulator requirement and rating
- Single-phase / three-phase configuration and panel connections
- Installation area, ventilation and ambient conditions
- Capacity margin for future growth
After the survey, a suitable system is recommended from our UPS, voltage regulator and battery ranges.
What Is Evaluated During the Site Survey Process?
The existing electrical infrastructure and panel systems are inspected.
Critical devices, total power consumption, and load profiles are analyzed.
Suitable UPS, battery system, and voltage regulator capacities are determined.
Installation areas, ventilation, and environmental conditions are evaluated.
Required backup duration and future capacity needs are considered.
A customized energy solution and project plan are prepared.
How Is the Right UPS Capacity Determined?
Selecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system requires more than simply counting the number of connected devices. Total load demand, equipment operating characteristics, startup currents, backup duration requirements, battery capacity, and future growth plans must all be considered together.
ELSIPOWER provides technical analysis and project planning support for 10 kVA UPS, 20 kVA UPS, 40 kVA UPS, 60 kVA UPS, 80 kVA UPS, 100 kVA UPS, and high-capacity industrial UPS systems. Online UPS, line interactive UPS, and modular UPS solutions are carefully evaluated according to operational needs and energy requirements.
- STEP 1List the loadsThe power ratings (W / kW) of all equipment to be connected to the UPS are added up.
- STEP 2Inrush currentsEquipment with high starting currents, such as motors and compressors, is assessed separately.
- STEP 3Growth marginCapacity is reserved for equipment that will be added in the future.
- STEP 4kVA and runtimeThe load is converted to kVA using the power factor, and the battery bank is sized for the required runtime.
Commonly specified capacities:
Which UPS type is used where?
| UPS type | Typically used for |
|---|---|
| Online UPS | Sensitive and critical loads such as server rooms, data centers, medical and production systems |
| Line interactive UPS | Less critical loads such as office computers, POS systems and small network equipment |
| Modular UPS | Data centers and large facilities that will grow over time and require redundancy (N+1) |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is site survey and project planning necessary?
Site survey and project planning are essential for accurately identifying a business’s actual energy requirements. UPS systems, battery solutions, or voltage regulators selected without proper technical evaluation may become insufficient over time.
How many kVA of UPS does my business need?
The required UPS capacity depends on total load demand, equipment operating characteristics, backup duration, and future growth expectations. Therefore, professional site surveys are recommended for accurate UPS sizing.
Which UPS system should be preferred for server rooms?
Online UPS and modular UPS systems are generally preferred for server rooms and data centers. These systems provide maximum protection against power failures, voltage fluctuations, and electrical disturbances for sensitive electronic equipment.
Do you also provide voltage regulator project planning?
Yes. ELSIPOWER provides professional site survey and project planning support for servo voltage regulators, static voltage regulators, and industrial voltage regulation systems.
Do you provide services outside Istanbul?
Yes. Based in Istanbul, ELSIPOWER offers site survey, project planning, maintenance, and technical service support throughout Türkiye.
What information should I prepare for the survey?
A list of the equipment to be protected, known power ratings, the required backup time, phase configuration and photos of the installation area speed up the preliminary assessment. Any missing information is completed on site during the survey.
How is battery backup time determined?
Backup time depends on the connected load and the capacity of the battery bank. The number and capacity of batteries are calculated according to the required runtime and load profile.
How do I know if my existing UPS has enough capacity?
During the survey, the UPS load level, battery condition and connected equipment are examined to assess whether the existing capacity is sufficient. If your unit shows a fault or alarm, our UPS technical service team can also help.
Should I choose an online or a line interactive UPS?
Online UPS is generally preferred for sensitive and critical loads, while line interactive UPS is used for less critical office equipment. The decision is made during the survey based on load type, mains quality and the required level of protection.
