This Engineering Equipment Specification (EE SPEC) defines the requirements for substation 24V & 48V batteries, battery chargers, dc distribution boards & associated auxiliary cabling. This is an existing document which has been reviewed prior to re-tendering. Search our portfolio of Battery Distribution Units products and select your specifications. It is an IEC 61508 and IEC 60730 compliant architecture of up to 1500 V intended for a variety of high-voltage battery management solutions for utility, commercial, industrial and residential energy storage. In addition, due to the high-voltage design of the BMS, insulation resistance measurement between the high-voltage domain and low-voltage domain is needed in order to catch defects in. Part 1 Battery System Distribution Box (BDU) The main purpose of the BDU is to disconnect the battery system power. It can be handled cleanly and safely since the gases generated during charging are recombined to form water in the closed battery system.
