The Eaton ® xStorage 400 provides advanced energy storage capabilities used to minimize a customer’s
exposure to high demand charges from the local utility company. The xStorage 400 allows customers to reduce
operating costs through energy market participation. The xStorage 400 can draw power from the batteries as
needed to decrease the load seen by the utility at a specific time.
The xStorage 400 is protected by a weathertight cabinet. The cabinet has been tested to IP24 standards as part
of its UL listing and is designed to meet 3R requirements. Constructed primarily of aluminum, the cabinet is
designed for corrosion resistance. The external panels are fixed to the frame, and the four front doors provide
internal access for trained service personnel.
The cabinet is custom-designed to preclude contact with internal energized equipment and to prevent the entry
of dirt, rain, sleet, and snow. The all-weather cabinet design ensures the internal components are kept within
their operating temperature range.
Eyelets are provided on the roof of the cabinet for use during manufacture of the equipment. The eyelets are
not rated to lift the cabinet once it has been populated with equipment. Once populated with equipment,
the cabinet must be lifted using the forklift openings near the bottom of the cabinet.
Electrical penetrations are made in the bottom of the enclosure. Refer to paragraph
4.5 External AC Power Wiring Installation for conduit and cable entry location information.
