Technical FAQs 4

Do vented lead acid batteries need a separate battery room?

Vented lead acid batteries installed in medium voltage main substation buildings and unit substations, electrical equipment rooms and control system rack rooms shall not require a separate, dedicated battery room and shall be in accordance with SES E14-S02. The battery room and installation shall comply with IEEE 484, NFPA 70 and OSHA 29 CFR.

What is a lead acid battery?

‘Lead’ gives the battery its weight. A Lead Acid battery can be automotive, Wet, AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), Gel, OPzV, or Hybrid technology. However, all these technologies rely on a good quality lead plate to perform to their rated capacity. Therefore, there is a direct correlation between the weight of a battery and its capacity.

Where should lead acid batteries be located?

Vented lead acid batteries shall be located in rooms with outside air exchange, or in well-ventilated rooms, arranged in a way that prevents the escape of fumes, gases, or electrolyte spray into other areas. Ventilation shall be provided to ensure diffusion of the gases from the battery, to prevent the accumulation of an explosive mixture.

Which accumulator batteries are included in the cabinets covered by the technical specification?

The cabinets covered by the technical specification have been designed to contain the hermetic lead-acid electric accumulator batteries.
