4 FAQs about New Energy Battery Cabinet Attenuation Standard

What are the UL standards for battery testing?

2.1.6 Show compliance with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard 9540, applicable to all battery systems, except lead-acid batteries, UL 9540A for large-scale fire test, CFC 1207.1.5, UL 1741 for utility interactive systems, CFC 1207.3.3, and UL 1973 applicable to all battery types except lead-acid.

What is a storage cavity energy containment rating (scecr)?

The storage cavity energy containment rating (SCECR) forms the basis of the size of the fuel package, and the storage cavity with the largest SCECR is tested. Second, there is an internal deflagration test that exposes the product to ignition of a standardized flammable mixture inside the product.

What are the requirements for a battery layout?

The layout should accommodate: 2. Structural Requirements Floor loading capacity is critical - industrial batteries typically weigh 1500-3000 kg/m². For VLA (flooded) batteries, acid-resistant floor coatings compliant with AS/NZS 2430.3.2 are required.

Where can I find a UL certified battery containment enclosure?

Battery containment enclosures certified by UL Solutions to UL 1487 can be found in the online certification directory, UL Product iQ®. Product iQ is available to use at no cost but requires a one-time registration.
