4.2.2. Connecting the power plant battery return reference (BRR) lead

Unless specifically instructed otherwise in the specifications or by the Customer,

the battery return reference (BRR) lead is usually connected as shown in Figure

4.4 and as described in Procedure 4.2.

CAUTION

Maintain the integrity of the grounding system.

To avoid the possibility of ground loops, which should

always

be avoided

, only one

battery return reference (BRR) lead is

required per system regardless of the number of frames in the

system.

Note 1:

The battery return reference cable should be sized equal to or larger

than the size of the largest distribution cable used in the power plant.

Note 2:

In some cases, the power plant battery return busbar may be

determined to be the SPG. In such cases, the BRR lead should be run to the

nearest FGB or BPG.

Note 3:

The front cover of the Battery Connection Module can be removed

completely to facilitate the cabling and connecting operations.
