SYSTEM OPERATION

3.3.1 Emergency Handling Plan

1. Disconnect the AC breaker.
2. Check the control power supply. If it is OK, return the power supply to find out the
reason.
3. Please record every detail related to the fault, so AlphaESS can analyze and solve the
fault. Any operation of equipment during a fault is strictly forbidden, please contact
Alpha as soon as possible.
4. As battery cells contains a little Oxygen inside and all cells have got explosion-proof
valves, explosion hardly happens.
5. When the indicator light on the battery shows a red fault, check the fault type through
the communication protocol, and contact our after-sales service personnel for advice.

3.3.2 Hazards

If the battery pack leaks electrolyte, avoid contact with the leaking liquid or gas. If one is
exposed to the leaked substance, immediately perform the actions described below:
Inhalation: Evacuate the contaminated area, and seek medical attention.
Eye contact: Rinse eyes with running water for 5 minutes, and seek medical attention.
Contact with skin: Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water, and seek
medical attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting and seek medical attention.

3.3.3 Fire

If a fire breaks out in the place where the battery pack is installed, perform the
following countermeasures:
Fire extinguishing media
During normal operation no respirator is required. Burning batteries cannot be extin-
guished with a regular fire extinguisher, this requires special fire extinguishers such as
the Novec 1230, the FM-200 or a dioxin extinguisher. If the fire is not from a battery,
normal ABC fire extinguishers can be used for extinguishing.
Fire fighting instructions
1. If fire occurs when charging batteries, if it is safe to do so, disconnect the battery pack
circuit breaker to shut off the power charging.
2. If the battery pack is not on fire yet, extinguish the fire before the battery pack catches
fire.
3. If the battery pack is on fire, do not try to extinguish but evacuate people immediately.
Note: There may be a possible explosion when batteries are heated above 150°C.
When the battery pack is burning, it leaks poisonous gases. Do not approach.
