Tips On Electric Power Arrangement

When we are ready to set up a microbrewery, electrical arrangements are very important.
For all of our microbrewery equipment over 200L, a 3-phase power supply is necessary. Here are the most basic considerations for your reference to understand how to take care of the power supply

1. Calculation of 3-phase power supply using amperage.
   Resistive load (electric heating element). I=P/(1.732U)
   Inductive loads (motors, chillers, pump motors, etc. etc.): I=P/(1.732X0.8U)

Use amperage to calculate single-phase power supply.
Resistive load (electric heating element). I=P/U
Inductive load (motor, chiller, pump motor, etc.): I=P/(0.8U)

2. Please add the power of other machines that will be procured locally. Example.
   Air compressor: used to power the keg filler and keg washer.
   Burners, boilers, etc.
   …
3. 3. Please remind the electrician to arrange for 30% more power than the listed quantity to avoid overloading or tripping.
