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
Service
•
Cable Rack and Routing
•
Grounding

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
all other equipment in the office to engineer the appropriate
aspects of the building.
The four categories of floor plan data relevant to battery plants
are listed below.
Floor Space: Space must be adequate for the battery plant
footprint and for aisles.
Floor Load: The building structure must support the intended
weight per unit floor area, and equipment must be spaced out to
distribute the load, as necessary.
Heat Load: The air conditioning and ventilation systems are
sized to maintain the environment given the heat dissipation of
the equipment.
