FAQS 4

What are the standards for battery installation & maintenance?

AS 2676 - Installation and maintenance of batteries in buildings. AS 3011 - Electrical installations - Secondary batteries installed in buildings. AS 4044 - Battery chargers for stationary batteries. ENA Doc 001-2008 National Electricity Network Safety Code.

Where should batteries be located in a substation control room?

Batteries are to be accommodated in a cabinet within the substation control room - separate battery rooms are not required. Cells are to be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations regarding separation between cells to allow air-flow for cooling and for easier access for removal if necessary.

What issues should a substation design engineer consider when installing batteries?

Hydrogen off-gassing is another issue that often arises when dealing with batteries in a substation. The design engineer should consult American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 500 to determine ventilation and classification requirements whenever batteries are installed indoors.

What are the safety requirements related to batteries & Battery rooms?

Employers must consider exposure to these hazards when developing safe work practices and selecting personal protective equipment (PPE). That is where Article 320, Safety Requirements Related to Batteries and Battery Rooms comes in.
