Controller Manual.
Earthquake
bracing
The earthquake ratings for the standard ECS battery plant are
given below:
•
Initial bay: Zone 4, upper floors, per NEBS TR-EOP-00063
•
Supplementary bay with 6 rectifiers and distribution: Zone
4, upper floors
•
Supplementary bay with 1 string VR batteries: Zone 4,
upper floors
•
Supplementary bay with 2 strings VR batteries: Zone 2,
ground level (not recommended for Zone 4 applications)
A supplementary bay equipped with two strings of VR batteries
should be junctioned to adjacent frameworks when possible and
should be tied to the building or vault wall for additional rigidity
in Zone 3 applications. The supplementary bay equipped with
TWO strings of VR batteries is NOT recommended for Zone 4
applications.
Planning
The equipment specified in the previous section will affect
various other systems within the building that serve more than
just the battery plant. Some of these common systems are ac
distribution, cabling, air conditioning and ventilation and the
building structure itself. For example, the ac distribution system
for a building or room is not completely defined by the power
equipment needs alone, but clearly the number and type of
rectifiers have a direct impact.
The following topics are covered in this section.

Floor Plan Data: Floor Space, Floor Load, Heat Load, AC

Floor plan data
There are several types of information that are collectively called
Floor Plan Data. This information is sometimes published on
“Floor Plan Data Sheets”. For the Lineage

2000 ECS Battery
Plant, Floor Plan Data are given in Figure 4-2. This battery plant
information must be combined with the corresponding data for
