To install reserve power equipment (batteries), follow the instructions
provided with the equipment. To comply with safety requirements, consult
the following articles before working with any battery systems.
• Read the "Material Safety Data Sheet" that must be posted to meet
OSHA requirements. This article outlines appropriate reserve battery
handling procedures.
• Refer to National Electric Code 645-10. This article outlines
requirements that call for the installation of ac- and dc-power kill
switches to battery systems in certain environments.
As a safety precaution, all dc service panels should be located in an area that
is easily accessible at all times to allow for emergency shutdown. An optimal
location would be near, or just outside, the entry to the room containing the
dc power system for the Large System. Each circuit breaker within a panel
should be clearly marked to identify the system component or components it
services.
The Candeo platform provides a simple, quick to deploy, and easy to operate
power solution. Based upon modular building blocks (rectifiers, System
Manager, dc distribution and battery connection modules), the system is
designed to power -48 Vdc applications. The Candeo platform can be
expanded by adding rectifiers, battery connection modules, frames, and
distribution modules.
The Candeo provides "plug and walk-away" installation and set-up. The
platform can be reconfigured or expanded while it remains online.
Installation and maintenance benefits include:
• Shelfless 50 A rectifiers
• Fully front accessible
• Automatic alarms and rectifier configuration settings
• No inter-module wiring
• All modules are hot insertable
• All internal bussing
