What is included in a battery cabinet?
Each battery cabinet includes an IP56 battery rack system, battery management system (BMS), fire suppression system (FSS), HVAC thermal management system and auxiliary distribution system. Outdoor liquid cooled and air cooled cabinets can be paired together utilizing a high voltage/current battery combiner box.
What are the safety requirements for a battery cabinet?
• The battery cabinet must be properly earthed/grounded and due to a high leakage current, the earthing/grounding conductor must be connected first. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. Battery Safety DANGER
How to install a battery cabinet in the battery solution?
1. Perform the following steps on all battery cabinets in the battery solution. a. Remove the cover in front of the start-up button and push the start-up button. • The PSU2 LED and the POWER LED will turn on. • The ABNORMAL and ALARM LEDs should remain off. b. Reinstall the cover in front of the start-up button.
Why is a battery cabinet dangerous?
• The battery cabinet contains an internal energy source. Hazardous voltage can be present even when the UPS system is disconnected from the utility/ mains supply. Before installing or servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and that utility/mains and batteries are disconnected.
