VRLA battery cabinets

Battery protection is essential for safety. We perform tests in our laboratories under abnormal conditions (i.e. short-circuit) to guarantee the maximum safety for the installation.

How to meet short-circuit current rating requirements

The available short-circuit current must be determined prior to installation, and the equipment SCCR must not be less than the available short-circuit current. Eaton recommends implementing a

Simplified Guide To Understanding Short-Circuit Current Rating

SCCRs on components and equipment represent the maximum level of short-circuit current that the component or equipment can withstand and is used for determining compliance with

DESIGN FOR SAFE AND RELIABLE ELECTRICAL

These breakers must be set at a safe intervention value based on the battery short circuit current. The concerned “setting” is the magnetic or instantaneous level, that is usually given adjustable
