Side Chamber

The side chamber contains:
• AC Power Panel or Junction Box
• 307 Protector Block
• Main Ground Bus for the Cabinet
Rubber cable boots are used to seal the outside plant cables to the entrance ports at the bottom of the side
chamber. The grounding of the outside plant cable shields to the field cabinet ground bus also occurs here.
AC service to the field cabinet enters through the bottom of the side chamber and is fed via conduit to the AC power
panel. An optional bracket is available for mounting an AC power meter to the outside of the field cabinet.

Battery Compartment

The PG-FlexPlus field cabinet battery compartment houses:
• Multiple 48 V DC strings of batteries for backup power
• Thermostatically-controlled, AC-powered battery heaters that protect the batteries from reduced capacity due to
cold temperatures
• Battery temperature probes for monitoring battery temperature
• Heat exchanger and battery cooling fans.
Refer to Table 6 on page 19

The field cabinet door is accessed using the special hex key and can be padlocked, if required. As an option, a key
entry lock may be ordered and installed to secure the door. The battery panel and cable entrance panel can only be
removed by first opening the field cabinet door.
