IEEE 1536-2002 pdf download IEEE Standard for Rail Transit Vehicle Battery Physical Interface
1.Overview
This standard applies to new procurements or major rehabilitation of rail transit vehicles occurring on orafter the effective date of this standard. Existing rail transit vehicles and those vehicles currently being pro-cured need not comply except when specifically required by the authority having jurisdiction. Where a needexists to maintain compatibility with existing rail transit vehicles, those portions of this standard in conflictwith compatibility requirements need not be applied.
1.1 Scope
This standard prescribes the maximum dimensional requirements of each battery tray for a specific numberof cells and battery capacity or performance rating. The battery hardware requirement and battery compart-ment are also prescribed in this standard.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to standardize the physical dimensional requirement of a battery tray.Curently, there are no overall dimensional standards for a battery tray. The same rating batteries are beingoroduced in diferent cell sizes by different manufacturers to suit customer battery compartment requirements. This standard will provide an optimal battery compartment with interchangeability of batteriessupplied by various manufacturers.Thus, it will facilitate joint multiuser purchases.
2.References
This standard shall be used in conjunction with the following publications.In case of a conflict between thisstandard and the referenced document, this standard takes precedence. Those provisions of the referenceddocuments that are not in conflict with this standard shall apply as referenced.
