IEEE 1187-2002 pdf download IEEE Recommended Practice for Installation Design and Installation of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Storage Batteries for Stationary Applications
1.Scope
This recommended practice provides recommended design practices and procedures for storage, location.mounting, ventilation,instrumentation, preassebly, assembly, and charging of valve-regulated lead-acid(VRLA) storage batteries. Required safety practices are also included. This recommended practice isapplicable to float-service stationary installations
This recommended practice also contains six informative annexes. These provide additional tutorial infor-mation relating to topics introduced in the body of the document.
Battery sizing, maintenance, capacity testing, charging equipment, battery protection, and consideration ofother types of batteries are beyond the scope of this recommended practice. Alternative energy applications
are also beyond the scope of this recommended practice
The portions of this recommended practice that specifically relate to personnel safety are mandatoryinstructions and are designated by the word shall: all other portions are recommended practices and aredesignated by the word should.
2.References
This recommended practice shall be used in conjunction with the following publications:
IEEE Std 485-1997M, IEEE Recommended Practice for Sizing Large Lead Storage Batteries for GeneratingStations and Substations.
IEEE Std 946-1992M,IEEE Recommended Practice for the Design of DC Auxiliary Power Systems forGenerating Stations.
3. Definitions
For the purposes of this recommended practice, the following terms and definitions apply. The AuthoritativeDictionary ofIEEE Standards Terms, Seventh Edition (Bl],’ should be referenced for terms not defined inthis clause.
3.1 acceptance test: Capacity test made on a new battery to determine that it meets specifications or manu-facturer’s ratings.
3.2 internal ohmic measurements: The measurement of either the internal impedance, conductance, orresistance of battery cells/units.
3.3 recombinant: Pseudonym for oxygen recombination.(EEE Std 1189-1996M).
3.4 terminal connection (battery): Connections made between cells or rows of cells or at the positive andnegative terminals of the battery, which may include terminal plates, cables with lugs, and connectors.
3.5 unit (or module): Multiple cells in a single jar or container.
3.6 valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) cell: A cell that is sealed with the exception of a valve that opens tothe atmosphere when the internal gas pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure by a preselected amountRLA cells provide a means for recombination of internally generated oxygen and the suppression ofhydrogen gas evolution to limit water consumption.
4. Safety
As with other batteries, VRLA batteries are potentially dangerous and proper precautions must be observedin handling and installation Work on batteries shall be performed only by knowledgeable personnel withproper safe tools and protective equipment.
