Transporting battery modules
The battery modules contain lithium-ion batteries. These are classed as hazardous goods
and must be transported in compliance with certain regulations.
„
Observe the information in section Transporting battery modules [P. 12] at all times.
2.5 Conduct in the event of a fault or fire
If contents are escaping:
1. Leave or do not enter the room in which the storage system and battery modules are
located.
2. Avoid contact with the escaping electrolyte. If contact occurs, rinse the affected area
thoroughly with water. In the case of irritation of the skin, eyes or mucous membranes,
consult a doctor.
3. Contact the sonnen service team (+61 13 7666).
A fire may occur even with electrical devices that are designed with care. A nearby fire can
also cause the storage system to ignite. This may also lead to the contents of the battery
modules being released.
If the battery modules or storage system is on fire:
1. Leave or do not enter the room in which the storage system and battery modules are
located.
2. Avoid contact with escaping smoke or steam. If contact occurs, rinse the affected area
thoroughly with water. In the case of irritation of the skin, eyes or mucous membranes,
consult a doctor.
3. Contact the fire services.
4. Contact the sonnen service team (+61 13 7666).
There is a danger of electrocution when extinguishing a fire while the storage system is
switched on. In the event of a fire in the vicinity of the product or in the storage system it-
self, proceed as follows before beginning any extinguishing measures:
„
Switching the storage system off to electrically isolate it [P. 83]. The battery modules
will continue to carry voltage.
„
Switch off the mains fuses in the building.
„
Only firefighters with appropriate personal protective equipment are permitted to
enter the room where the storage system is located.
If the storage system or mains fuses cannot be safely switched off:
„
Observe the minimum distances applicable for the specific extinguishing means used.
The storage system works with a nominal voltage of 230 V (AC) and 205 V (DC).
Extinguishing agents
• A storage system fire can be extinguished using conventional extinguishing agents.
• Water is recommended as an extinguishing agent in order to cool the battery modules
and therefore prevent thermal runaway in battery modules which are still intact.
Information on the battery modules
• A single battery module has a nominal voltage of 102.4 V (DC).
• Two battery modules each are connected in series, resulting in a working voltage of
204.8 V (DC).
