Testing, reliability & durability

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.

This technical report is in development is categorized in: Acid secondary, Alkaline secondary, Cells & batteries.

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.

The guide was written to provide a PV hybrid power system battery test procedure that can be used to assist in evaluating battery capacity, and appropriate PV battery charging requirements.
