Battery Disconnect Switch

See 

Figure  2-4

.  Battery  Disconnect  Switch  (A)

disconnects the battery stack from the battery monitoring

system (BMS) electronics. 
The Battery Disconnect Switch can be locked in the OFF

position  if  required.  The  switch  bracket  accepts  a

standard lockout / tagout lock.

NOTE: 

Turn  Battery  Disconnect  OFF  whenever  the

system  will  be  powered  down  and  left  inactive  for  an

extended period of time to prevent battery discharge.

Battery Status LED

About PWRcell Battery

The  PWRcell  Battery  is  the  storage  component  of  the

PWRcell  system.  The  battery  can  be  used  for  grid-

connected solar applications, such as Self Supply, Rate

Arbitrage,  and  Clean  Backup  power.  The  battery  is

designed  to  work  seamlessly  with  PV  Links  and  the

PWRcell  Inverter  to  form  the  PWRcell  system  for  grid-

tied solar-plus-storage. 
The PWRcell Battery uses the REbus 380VDC nanogrid

to  connect  the  PWRcell  Inverter.  The  REbus  nanogrid

automates  the  flow  of  power  to  enable  plug-and-play

setup and operation of PWRcell equipment. 
In 

Figure 2-5

, a REbus-compatible PWRcell Inverter (E)

is  directly  connected  to  PV  Links  (B)  and  PWRcell

Battery (C) on REbus (D), the DC nanogrid/lines (D). To

the right of the inverter are AC lines: 240VAC or 208VAC

for  grid  and  home  loads  (G),  and  protected  loads  (H).

Load  support  varies  by  model  and  number  of  battery

modules  attached.  Refer  to 

Specifications

DANGER

Electrocution. Initiate a system-wide shutdown and turn the 
PWRcell DC Disconnect Switch OFF on all connected 
batteries before performing service. Failure to do so will 
result in death, serious injury, or equipment and property 
damage.
