1.0

SCOPE
This design guide outlines the recommendation for the determination
of voltage level, capacity, quantities and installation of DC battery of
lead acid storage type required for providing DC power supply to
essential services in the plant when the normal power supply fails.
This also gives consideration to the safe shut down of the plant as
well as human safety.

1.1

This section (Part A) of this guide pertains to lead acid batteries and
also includes a few recommendations applicable to NiCad batteries
also like selecting voltage levels. The sizing criteria for Nickel
Cadmium batteries are dealt in Part B of this design guide and
Part C of this guide covers details about Battery chargers .

2.0

VARIOUS TYPES OF LEAD ACID CELLS

2.1

The plante type cells are more rugged, need less maintenance and
have a life expectancy of about 15-18 years, which is 5-7 years
longer than that for tubular type. However, the plante type battery is
costlier than the tubular type. All the manufacturers make tubular
cells while very few manufacturers make plante cell.

2.2

The cells with tubular plate construction are smaller in size than the
plante type for a given AH rating.

2.3

The following types of tubular cells are available in the market in


addition to standard variety :
a)
b)
c)

High Discharge Performance (HDP)


Maintenance Free-Valve Regulated (MF-VR)
Low-Maintenance (LM) type

2.4

The capacity of HDP cells under short duration discharge conditions


are higher than that of normal tubular batteries and are comparable to
that of Plante type batteries. Hence the capacity of battery required
will be smaller than that with the standard performance cells for
applications requiring high discharge currents for short duration.
Hence these cells are preferred for power plant applications.

2.5

The MF-VR cells require minimal attention from operation /


maintenance staff and are stated to need no topping up of distilled
water and no regular equalising charges. This type is well suited in

PART A : LEAD ACID BATTERY

the plants where organised maintenance is infrequent. The low


maintenance cells have grids made of low-antimony lead and require
topping up only once in a year or so even at higher float voltages like
2.25 VpC. Hence this type also is well suited for plants where
organised maintenance is infrequent or standalone substations in the
distribution system or medium or small scale industries or where
battery capacity is less than 300/500 AH.
2.6

The operating experience of the MF-VR and LM type cells for large
capacities is limited and very few manufacturers make the same.
Hence the sizing of these cells is not being discussed in the present
guide and use of these cells may be decided on case to case basis.

2.7

The recommended float voltage for lead acid batteries is between


2.16 V and 2.25V/ cell. The recommended boost charging duration is
10 hours in case of smaller capacity batteries and 14 to 16 hours for
larger capacities (1000 AH and above). The recommended maximum
boost charger voltage is 2.75 V/cell. The recommended equalising
charge voltage is 2.33 VpC.

3.0

SELECTION OF DC VOLTAGE LEVELS

3.1

The voltage level selection for the plant shall consider the following
aspects :

3.2

a)

Quantum of power

b)

Individual load point power ratings, quantum of such load points


and the geographic spread of the load points

c)

Standard voltages suitable for the equipment

For the same power requirement, the battery room size, and battery
cost with higher voltage will be higher than those with lower voltage.
However, the lower voltage requires higher current for the loads and
hence to meet this current and to limit the voltage drop within limits
cable sizes will be higher than those with higher voltage. Considering
all the aspects following voltage levels are recommended.

AMPERE HOUR CAPACITY SIZING

5.1

The capacity of a cell or battery as defined in Indian standards 1651


& 1652 is expressed in Ah, at 27deg.C, attainable when the cell or
battery is discharged at the 10-hour rate to an end voltage of 1.85 V
per cell. The capacity is a function of number of positive plates per
cell.

Duty cycle
a)

At the time of power supply failure, the battery is required to


supply D.C. power requirements of essential circuits for safe
shut down of the station, vital instrumentation, controls,
communication system, DC annunciation and emergency
lighting.

b)

In power plants and some industrial plants an emergency diesel


generator is available, which will provide a.c. power to the
battery charger after the period required to start and connect it
to the emergency AC bus. However, the battery size shall be
calculated on the assumption that the engine driven generator
may fail to start or operate satisfactorily.

c)

The duration for which each type of D.C. load will have to be
supplied by battery when the normal power supply fails is
different. The same may be continuous or for short time duration
or momentary. In a typical power plant the DC power, control &
protection loads and their classification based on duration for
which they need to be supplied are as follows.

I&C battery for power plant application shall be sized to cater


the loads for half hour. The loads to be considered shall be the
maximum load of I&C system at any operating condition viz
starting, running and tripping/stopping.

End of duty cycle voltage


a)

The allowable end of duty cycle voltage of a battery has a major


role in determination of the capacity of the battery. This in turn is
dependent on the limits of system voltages that can be
withstood by D.C. equipment. The D.C. equipment are generally
rated to operate between +10% and -15% of their rated value
with certain exceptions like trip coils and trip relays which can
accept lower voltages.

b)

Manufacturers recommend a float voltage ranging from 2.06V to


2.3 volts per cell, for different float voltage adopted, the required
frequency of equalising charges are given below.

It is desirable to keep the float voltages as high as the D.C.


system can accept to minimise frequency of equalising charges.
It is recommended to keep a float voltage of 2.2V per cell.
However, this shall be confirmed from the battery supplier

5.2.3

e)

The cable drop to be considered in DC system shall be 2% from


the charger/battery to Distribution board and 3% from board to
any feeder in case of 220V DC system.

f)

In case of 24V DC system to keep the voltage drop


within 5% limit, the cable sizes between DC board and I&C
cabinets are very large and sometimes impractical to terminate.
Hence for 24V system a total drop of 7.5% (2.5% between board
and charger/battery and 5% between board and individual
loads) is recommended.

Temperature correction factor


The standard temperature for stating cell capacity is 27deg.C. If the
lowest expected electrolyte temperature is below 27deg.C, a cell
large enough to have the required capacity available at the lowest
expected temperature shall be selected. The lowest electrolyte
temperature shall be considered as 10o above minimum ambient
temperature. If the lowest expected temperature is above 27deg.C,
no correction factor shall be applied. The correction factor shall be
calculated according to the formula:

The factor 'K' for plante cells is 0.9 and for tubular, 0.43. The
minimum electrolyte temperature (T) shall be considered as 10deg.C
higher than the minimum ambient air temperature at site.
5.2.4

Compensation for age


ANSI/IEEE STG.450-1270 recommends that a battery be replaced
when its actual capacity drops to 80% of its rated capacity. Hence a
factor of 1.25 shall be considered for ageing.

5.2.5

Design margin
When the D.C. loads are more or less final at the time of battery
sizing for tender specification purposes and/or the battery sizing is
being done for a similar plant already executed, no design margin is
considered necessary. If the sizing is being done for a new type of
project or with very little confirmed loads, a design margin of 10 to
15% shall be provided over the final capacity arrived.
While sizing the battery for nuclear power plant applications, it shall
be noted that the "margins" required by IEEE STD.323-1273. 6.3.15
& 6.3.3 are to be applied during "Qualification" and are not related to
"design margin".

5.3

Calculation of Ampere Hour Capacity


The plante and tubular high discharge performance cells have better
capacity factors at the short duration discharges (1 hour, 2 hours
etc.). For durations less than one hour, the above types of cells have
higher capacity factor than the tubular standard discharge
performance cell. Hence for power plant application and for
applications where short duration loads are appreciable high
discharge performance cell shall be used.
The capacity of the battery shall then be determined in accordance
with the procedure outlined in Appendix-3.

Battery cells shall be installed in a separate battery room, preferably


near the D.C.load. The 24V batteries shall be in the same floor as
I&C cabinets and as near as possible. Fig.4 included in design guide
TCE.M6-EL-PJ-G-SG-6602 R1 (GA of Turbine Building Electrical
Equipment & Space Organisation) indicates a typical battery Room
Plan (Copy of Fig.4 enclosed as Appendix-4 for ready reference).

6.2

The flooring shall be provided with acid resistance tiles, a dished


floor drain and drainage piping for collecting spilled acid. The spilled
acid shall be diluted before discharging to the outside storm water
drainage system.

6.3

Acid proof paint shall be provided on walls upto 2.3m height.

6.4

A wash basin shall be provided for emergency drenching of face and


body.

6.5

The total capacity of exhaust fans (suitably distributed) should be


minimum 1/10th of the total volume of the battery room per minute.
The exhaust shall be directly outside the building. However, specific
requirements shall be obtained from the battery manufacturer.

6.6

Separate cable(s) shall be provided for each polarity of the outgoing


battery leads. If the cables are unarmoured they shall be taken in
separate conduits and the conduits shall be PVC coated for
protection against corrosion. Routing of any cables in cable-trays
through battery room shall be avoided.

6.7

Adequate provision for storage of acid, distilled water, instruments,


accessories, etc. should be provided in the battery room.

6.8

During float or boost charging of the lead acid battery hydrogen gas
is generated. The volume of hydrogen gas generated depends on the
amount of charging current. Also, the float current demand of a fully
charged battery will double approximately for every 10deg.C rise
above the base temperature of 27deg.C. Each fully charged cell
produces 4.5 x 10-4 Cu.m (0.016 Cu.pt) hydrogen gas per hour per
charging amperes in an ambient of 25deg.C to 27deg.C. Hydrogen
explosive concentration is reached if the explosives mixture is three
percent of the volume of room air.

NOTES:
1.

The data for 120MW and 210MW units are taken from the designed
data for GIPCL and Bhatinda units. All DC motor loads,
electromagnetic valve loads, FSSS loads, instrumentation & control,
UPS loads, other turbine generator supervisory loads should be as
far as possible ascertained from the manufacturers.

2.

When starting currents of DC motors are not available it may be


assumed as 3.5 x FL current. If step resistor starting is provided the
starting current may be assumed as 2.5 x FL current.

3.

Instrumentation and control loads and annunciation loads may be on


a separate 48 V / 24V battery.

4.

For 210 MW unit loads also refer Appendix-3.

NOTES :
1.

Tubular cell type HDP-II is considered in the above sample


calculation as the duty requires the cells to deliver high discharge in
short duration (1 hr). However, the same procedure as above can be
followed for sizing the battery using HDP Type-I or standard
discharge performance cells. Data on cell capacities at varying
periods of discharge for standard discharge performance type cells &
for Type-I HDP cells is enclosed in Appendix-2.

2.

If plante cells are being sized, the data on capacities for Type II HDP
cells enclosed in Appendix-2 can be used sizing procedure also
remains same except the value of 'K' in formula for temperature
correction factor (Refer cl.5.2.3).

3.

Typical DC emergency loads for a 210 MW unit are considered for


the sample calculation above. In case the load cycle diagram for a
particular installation happens to be more complex than the one in the
sample calculation above, IEEE 485-1273 may be referred for further
guidance.

SCOPE
This section outlines the Ni-Cd alkaline station storage battery
performance characteristics, usage and sizing.

2.0

DIFFERENT TYPES OF Ni-Cd BATTERIES

2.1

The most common electrode design for the nickel-cadmium batteries


is the pocket plate type designated by 'P' as per IS:10918-1274. The
active constituents are cadmium in the negative plates and nickel in
the positive plates. The active material in each electrode is enclosed
in metal pockets of finely perforated steel strips. Each plate is
insulated from the next by thin plastic separators. The electrolyte is a
solution of potassium hydroxide in de-ionised water. The resulting
electrochemical reaction produces a nominal discharge voltage of 1.2
volts per cell. The electrolyte takes no part in these reactions and
acts only as an ion conductor. The other electrode designs are
sintered plate(s) and tubular plate(T).

2.2

The cells are further classified as H,M,L and X type based on the
discharge performance of individual designs. The plate type, and the
number of such plates employed in a cell indicate the cell type and
determine its discharge characteristics.

2.3

The cell container is usually translucent polypropelene


plastic.Polypropelene has high strength, it is corrosion free and not
electrically conductive. Cells can also be supplied in stainless steel
containers, if required, to with-stand conditions of high shock and
vibrations. Steel cells are mounted on wooden racks.

3.0

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

3.1

The rated capacity C5 of any cell type is defined as available


amperehours (Ah) at 5 hours discharge rate at 27C, to an end
voltage of 1.0V/Cell after charging for 8 hours with 0.2C5 A. (In the
U.S. the Ni-Cd capacity is based on 8 hours discharge).
The standard ambient temp. specified by IS:10918 is 27C, whereas
the Ni-Cd batteries available in Indian market are rated at 20C +5C
ambient. The same is adopted in the design guide for the present.

3.2

Normal voltage is 1.2V/Cell

SHEET

DC SYSTEM

36

OF 79

PART B : NICAD BATTERY

3.3

Open circuit voltage is 1.28 V/Cell.

3.4

The measure of performance is not the rated Ah capacity but the


battery cell construction. H type cells have thin plates (more plate
area per amount of active material) giving excellent high rate
performance. M and L types have medium thickness plates and thick
plates respectively. For example H-type cell at 15 minutes discharge
can deliver about twice the discharge current compared to an L-type
cell of equal rated capacity.

3.5

The published discharge data for nickel-cadmium cells are most


commonly available in tabular form, in which the current, available
from each cell type, is stated for a given discharge time and end of
discharge voltage. For intermediate times and voltages, it is
necessary to interpolate between the known values (IEEE 11151992).

3.6

There are three manufacturers in India, AMCO (in collaboration with


SAFT,France), SABNIFE POWER SYSTEMS LTD., Hyderabad in
collaboration with M/s Sabnife, Sweden and Punjab Power Packs Ltd.
in collaboration with M/s Alcad Ltd. UK. The available tabulated
discharge performance data from M/s SABNIFE on different types of
cells for varying end cell voltages, is enclosed at Appendix-1.(The
cell designations of Sabnife make cells confirm to IS.S10918-1274).
More details if required, may be obtained from the manufacturers.

3.7

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE
Battery optimum performance is based on cell electrolyte temperature
maintained at 20-25C. For temperatures below 20C a loss of about
0.5% of rated capacity per C is expected for Ni-Cd battery. No
increase in capacity is to be considered above 20C. The derating
curves enclosed in Appendix-1 can be used for arriving at the
derating factors appropriate to the lowest expected electrolyte
temperature for the individual installation.

3.7.1

Life of the battery is shortened when temperatures are above the


reference temperature of 25C. Generally it has been estimated that
Ni-Cd battery loses approximately 15% of its life for every 8-10C
electrolyte temperature above 25C.

3.8

CHARGING REQUIREMENTS
To fully charge, a cell will require an Ah input, from the charger to the
battery, of 160% of the capacity. For example a 100Ah cell requires
160 Ah to fully charge it from a fully discharged state. If the charger
can supply 20A then the time for charging will be 160/20 i.e. 8 hours.

The electrolyte specific gravity (S.G.) is not an indication of the state


of charge in Ni-Cd cells since it does not change appreciably during
charge or discharge. The acceptable limits to be maintained in normal
service (of the electrolyte S.G) are 1.17-1.19 at a reference
temperature of 20 at the specified level line of the cell.

3.11

Indian Standard 10918-1274 specifies the general requirements and


methods of test for Ni-Cd batteries. This is derived from IEC Pub 6231978.

4.0

APPLICATIONS OF Ni-Cd BATTERIES


Some typical applications of different battery (Cell) types (X,H,M,L)
are mentioned herewith for their optimum usage.
Applications of very high rates of discharge batteries (Type X) are to
deliver very large currents (>7C5) for very short durations (1 Sec-15
min).

4.2

Applications of High rate (H type) batteries are to deliver high


currents (>3.5C5 A) for very short discharge times of 20 mins and
less. Typical uses are
- Engine starting (gen-sets, fire pumps, locomotives, vehicles)
- Some applications of Uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
- Switch closing, electromagnets.
In such cases the capacity of the battery is not so important as the
ability to deliver high current.

4.3

Medium rate (M type) applications are load duties having discharge


times between 3 hours to 30 min, for examples:
- UPS for A.C process control
- Electric train control
- Off-shore applications
- Combined discharge cycle like switchgear operation, standby
pumps and emergency lighting.(Typically medium rate of discharge
usage is between 0.5C5A and 3.5C5A).

4.4

Low rate (L type) applications are of power requirements for an


extended discharge time of 3 hours and longer.
Example are:- Telecommunications and signalling
- Scada/Computer system
- General standby applications for power stations/ industrial projects,
i.e. load cycle duty of switch trippings, emergency oil pumps,
emergency lighting, protection/controls annunciation, communication.
(Typically low rate of discharge usage is between less than 0.5C5A to
C5A).

4.5

For applications where adverse conditions of usage prevail, (like


extremes of temperature, on regular routine maintenance and nonavailability of a separate battery room), Ni-Cd batteries are most
suitable for use because of their following special features.
a)

Tolerance of extremes of temperature. The manufacturers claim


the range from -50C to +55C. It is of advantage to use Ni-Cd
battery for cold temperature performance.

b)

Maintenance requirements are very low for pocket plate Ni-Cd


batteries when operated as mentioned in clause 5.0 within the
range of 15C to 25C.

c)

Overcharging even for a prolonged period is tolerated. Also,


these batteries can be left in discharged/partially discharged
conditions without damage.

d)

Gases given off by Ni-Cd batteries are not corrosive and normal
building materials/room can be used and therefore the battery
can be kept in the electrical/mechanical equipment room, if it
becomes necessary to do so. However, adequate ventilation is
necessary as stated under installation (Clause 7.0).

With float charging at 1.4-1.42 V/Cell and where the load


temporarily exceeds the
charger rating, it is beneficial to
apply an equalising charge every 6 to 12 months (depending
on use) to keep the battery up to a fully charged condition.

5.2

For use of batteries without any boost charge, the float charge
voltage is 1.47-1.5V pC for L type, 1.46-1.49V pC for M type and
1.45-1.47V pC for H type.

The number of cells to be used for a specific project should be


checked considering the nominal system voltage, voltage tolerances,
charging voltage (i.e. mode of operation) and type of load (i.e.
discharge currents / time for given cell end - voltage). Based on these
factors the number of cells may vary from the number given above.

Recommendations on selection of voltage level and quantities of


batteries cells are provided at Clause 3.0 & 4.0 of Part A of this
design guide.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS FOR SIZING Ni-Cd BATTERIES


In addition to the above factors, factors like design margin, ageing
factor also influence the final size of the battery selected.

7.1

Design Margin :
This is to allow for unforeseen additions to the dc systems and less
than optimum operating conditions of the battery due to improper
maintenance, recent discharge or ambient temperatures lower than
anticipated. This shall be decided on case to case basis. The cell
size calculations for a specific application will seldom match a
commercially available cell exactly and it is normal procedure to
select the next higher size cell. The additional capacity obtained thus,
can be considered part of the design margin. While sizing battery for

DC SYSTEM

SECTION:

PART B : NICAD BATTERY

Nuclear power plant applications, it may be noted that the "margins"


required by IEEE Std. 323-1273, 6.3.1.5 and 6.3.3 are to be applied
during "qualification" and are not related to "design margin".
7.2

Ageing Factor :
Capacity decreases gradually during the life of the battery, with no
sudden capacity loss being encountered. Since the rate of capacity
loss is dependent upon such factors as operating temperature,
electrolyte sp.gravity, and depth and frequency of discharge, an
ageing factor should be chosen based on required service life. The
choice of ageing factor is, therefore, essentially an economic
consideration. IEEE recommends a factor of 1.11 for batteries used
for UPS wherein the discharges are for a short time and 1.43 for
applications involving continuous high temperatures and/or frequent
deep discharges.

7.3

State of Charge Factor :


When the batteries are subjected to discharge and then charge, they
get charged gradually. The state of charge at any point depends on
the initial state of charge, the recharge voltage, the charge current
limit and the charging voltage. The state of charge factor can be
determined by consulting the charging curves provided by Battery
manufacturers and shall be considered if the selected float charge
voltage is 1.47-1.50V (Ref. item 5.2 above).

7.4

Float Charge Factor :


When batteries are expected to remain in continuous float charge for
prolonged periods without boost charge, they exhibit a dip in
performance depending on end voltage and duration of discharge.
The cells float charged at 1.4-1.42V pC (Ref item 5.1 of above) are
not expected to lose much charge if the schedule for equalising
charges is adhered to. Hence no provision is made for float charge
factor in cell sizing calculations.

8.0

INSTALLATION

8.1

Ni-Cd battery can be installed in a separate room or in the same room


as the electrical/mechanical equipment since the gases given off are
not corrosive. However, a separate room specially for large size

batteries would be preferable. The typical battery room layout is


enclosed in Part A of this design guide for information.
8.2

Though Ni-Cd batteries are tolerant of extremes of temperature, it is


preferable to operate within the range of 15C to 25C to optimise
efficiency. Direct sunlight and heat on cells should be avoided.

8.3

Hydrogen and oxygen evolved from a battery during charge can form
an explosive mixture. For this reason adequate ventilation is to be
provided to keep the hydrogen content to a low value. The maximum
gas evolution occurs at end of charge or on overcharge. Since
hydrogen is lighter than air, openings/grilles to take away the gas
mixture should be located as high as possible in the room.
Following formula is given by the Manufacturers for a mean hydrogen
concentration of 1%.
Air changes required

Room air Vol.in Cu.ft

If forced ventilation is found necessary to obtain the required air


changes per hour, the air should be drawn from a high location in the
room. When calculating air changes in confined spaces it will be
necessary to deduct the volume of other apparatus and the battery.

BATTERY SIZING CALCULATIONS


The method to be used for sizing Ni-Cd battery is same as explained
in PARTA of this DC System Design guide .

The duty cycle profile (the load currents and the durations for which
the battery is to be sized) shall be prepared.

9.2

The factor KT related to the specified end cell voltage and load
duration is readily available for lead-acid cells. But for Ni-Cd cells,
this shall be computed from the discharge data tables (enclosed at
Appendix-1). Wherever the required data is not available, it can be
interpolated/extrapolated from the known values (Refer item 3.5
above).
Select the cell type most suited to the duty profile required (Ref. item
4.0).

SPECIFYING THE BATTERY


It is observed that the discharge data available from different
manufacturers for a given type and AH rating of cells differs
considerably at durations other than nominal duration (5 hours).
Hence it is recommended that while specifying the battery, the
following may be noted.

10.1

Load profile, required end cell voltage, factors to be considered and


other data shall be provided to the bidder and the bidder is allowed to
offer cell size other than the one indicated (determined by TCE
through cell sizing calculations as above) providing the supporting
calculations.

10.2

Bidder may be allowed to offer cell type other than the one indicated,
if the offered cell type & size meets the load cycle duty requirements
satisfactorily (bidder to establish the same through supporting
calculations). This is being recommended as many a time the load
profile consists of mixed type of loads (ie. of different durations) and
thus more than one type (but with different ratings) can meet the

1.0

The same load profile as in part A of this Design Guide is


considered. The discharge currents and durations are :

2.0

Since the battery backup is required for more than 4 hours, the low
rate discharge type (L) cell is to be considered. As per catalog of
Sabnife they do not have any cell which delivers 983 A for one minute
in the KPL type of cells. Hence KPM type cell is considered.

3.0

For temperature derating factors and the discharge data for


calculating the capacity rating factors, the data of M/s SABNIFE (for
KPM type) included in Appendix-1 is considered.

4.0

The end cell voltage selected is 1.16 volts (Ref. item 6.4 of Part B
in this Design guide).

5.0

Min. expected electrolyte temperature is 17C (Ref. Part A of this


Design guide). The temperature derating factors corresponding to the
above temp. applicable for KPM type cells and as read from the
curves included in Appendix-1 are
1 min = 0.96
1 hour = 0.97
2 hours/1 hr. 59 min = 0.98
8-10 hrs = 1.0
Hence the load currents as referred to the rated temperature of 25C

The published discharge data from manufacturers does not indicate


discharge ratings at the required end cell voltage of 1.16 volts. Hence
these need to be extrapolated from the data available.

(a)

Float charger current of the associated battery.

(b)

Continuous load of the DC system :

Continuous load of the DC system is obtained from the battery sizing


calculations made as per Design Guide for Battery, Part A and
Part B. It shall be recognised that 10 hour rating indicated in battery
sizing does not consider the continuous load of the excitation system,
boiler DC control panels, etc. As such the DC loads which exist
during the normal running of the plant shall also be considered over
and above the 10 hour loads indicated for the battery.
(c)

Largest DC motor current.

(d)

25% margin shall be considered over and above loads.

2.4.3

The float charger for I&C system battery shall be capable of meeting
the highest of the I&C system loads which will occur during the
starting or tripping/shut down or running of the unit/plant.

2.5

Boost charger
The rating of the Boost charger should be adequate to charge the
battery after the battery is completely discharged within a period of 10
hours for lead acid and 8 hours for Nickel-Cadmium batteries. The
boost charging voltage for lead acid battery will be between 2.40 to
2.75 V/cell and for nickel cadmium it will be between 1.53 V to 1.67 V
for high discharge type (H), 1.54V to 1.69V for medium discharge
type (M) and 1.55V to 1.7V for low discharge type (L). During boost
charging of battery, the load is fed by the float charger. During boost
charging the battery, the battery shall be disconnected from the load
to avoid uneven charging of the battery bank).

3.0

DISCUSSION

3.1

The spare charger unit wherever provided should have facilities for
connection to the DC distribution board. Drawing no. TCE.M2-ELCW-S-2633 R0 shows typical spare charger connection. The design
of the leads from the spare charger should be such that chance of
wrong connection (reversal of polarity) is totally eliminated.

3.2

The leads interconnecting the Battery, Charger and DC distribution


board should be single core, armoured cables. The cable size should

be rated for the emergency loads (2 hour or 1 hour of battery). The


armouring of the cable should be of aluminium.
3.3

The cables shall be sized considering the voltage drop within


acceptable limits of 5% from the battery to load terminal.

3.4

The Blocker diodes connected between the end cell Tap and the DC
bus should be rated to carry the 1 min. output of the battery. Two
diodes in series are preferred to safeguard the D.C system against
short circuiting of one diode.

3.5

The ripple content of the DC output nominal voltage of the Float and
Boost charger shall be within +1% of the nominal output voltage when
battery is disconnected.

3.6

The transformer rating of the float & boost charger offered by the
Vendor shall be checked for it's suitability by asking the sizing
calculation from the charger supplier.
