1. Introduction
Tripp Lite’s Extended-Run Battery Cabinets connect to SmartOnline
®
UPS Systems to provide long-lasting battery backup for data centers,
telecommunications, networks, industrial facilities, security, emergency systems and other mission-critical applications that require high
capacity, high availability and extended runtime.
Features
• Battery cabinets are available in voltages of 192 VDC, 240 VDC or 480 VDC and capacities from 55 to 140AH @ C20 to 1.67VPC.
• Battery cabinets contain multiple 12 VDC batteries connected in series for higher voltages. Multiple battery cabinets may be connected in
parallel for increased runtime.
• Depending on the number of individual batteries contained, each battery cabinet will have 2, 3 or 4 shelves with 4, 8, or 10 individual
batteries (maximum) per tier.
• Battery cabinets with the seismic option are certified to the 2012 edition of the International Building Code (IBC) and the 2013 edition of
the California Building Code (CBC), to meet IBC and CBC seismic design category F, Ss = 2.0 and importance factor 1.5.
• Hinged lockable door to facilitate access to batteries for periodic maintenance.
• There is a minimum of 5 inches of clearance above the individual batteries for access to terminals.
• Battery cabinet is constructed of heavy gauge welded steel.
• Baked powder coat finish provides chip and corrosion resistance.
• Battery cabinet is shipped bolted to pallet with a double layer of protective stretch wrap and integrated corner and top protection.
• Appropriate ventilation and convection cooling of the individual batteries is provided via spacing between batteries. Front and rear vents
allow the free flow of warmer air out of the battery cabinet.
• The internal battery series’ circuits are completely wired.
• A molded case circuit breaker is provided for over-current protection (the molded case circuit breaker is fitted with an auxiliary contact).
• User-supplied power output cables can be fed into the battery cabinet through built-in conduit knockouts in the top or sides of the cabinet
(gland plate included).
• For improved safety, higher power density and minimized maintenance, the cabinet systems use Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA)
recombinant batteries. The electrolyte in these batteries is immobilized in either an absorbent mat separator or a gelling medium,
eliminating the spilling hazards and maintenance requirements of free liquid electrolyte. There is no need to add water or measure specific
gravity.
• Because the batteries are recombinant cells that employ an oxygen recombination cycle, minimal gasses are emitted during normal float
charging. Each cell contains an individual valve which releases the gas products of overcharge and prevents pressure build-up within the
cell.
• Select battery cabinets (single-phase and “C” models) include an integrated battery charger that requires an AC power connection that is
not part of the UPS output.
