Design

Specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and performance requirements for portable sealed nickel-metal hydride, small prismatic, cylindrical and button rechargeable single cells, suitable for use in any orientation. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2003 of which it constitutes a technical revision.

This standard and standard 62133-2 below are in development and are categorized in: Aerospace electric equipment and systems, Electrical and electronic equipment. These standards address safety of the respective battery chemistries for portable applications.

This part of the IEC 62485 applies to stationary secondary batteries and battery installations with a maximum voltage of DC 1 500 V (nominal) and describes the principal measures for protections against hazards generated from electricity, gas emission, and electrolyte.

The standard provides requirements on safety aspects associated with the erection, use, inspection, maintenance and disposal of cells and batteries for stationary applications and motive (other than on-road vehicle). Under development moving toward the committee draft voting stage. Includes safety requirements for lithium-ion cells for stationary and off-road motive applications and some battery requirements (evaluation of battery and battery management system [BMS] combination). Not a system standard, as it covers only battery and BMS interaction.

The standard specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for large format lithium-ion secondary single cells and batteries used in Industrial Applications including Stationary applications.

The standard covers specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for sealed nickel-metal hydride prismatic secondary single cells.

The standard provides electrical and mechanical requirements for liquid-immersed distribution and power transformers, and autotransformers and regulating transformers; single- and polyphase, with voltages of 601 V or higher in the highest voltage winding, are set forth. It is basis for the establishment of performance, and limited electrical and mechanical interchangeability requirements of equipment are described, and for assistance in the proper selection of such equipment.

The standard covers electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics, taking into consideration certain safety features, for current and inductively coupled voltage transformers of types generally used in the measurement of electricity and the control of equipment associated with the generation, transmission, and distribution of alternating current. The aim is to provide a basis for performance, interchangeability, and safety of equipment covered and to assist in the proper selection of such equipment. Accuracy classes for metering service are provided.

The recommended practice document provides recommended design practices and procedures for storage, location, mounting, ventilation, instrumentation, preassembly, assembly, and charging of VLA batteries. Required safety practices are also included. This document is applicable to full-float stationary applications where a battery charger normally maintains the battery fully charged and provides DC loads.

The guide was written to provide a relevant PV battery test procedure that can be used to evaluate battery performance and identify appropriate PV battery charging requirements. The document contains a tutorial on Lead-Acid battery technology, battery charging characteristics, and a laboratory test procedure to evaluate charge parameters and battery performance.
