IEEE 484-2002 pdf download IEEE Recommended Practice for Installation Design and Installation of Vented Lead-Acid Batteries for Stationary Applications
1. Overview
This recommended practice is divided into seven clauses. Clause 1 provides the scope of this recommendedpractice. Clause 2 lists references to other standards that are useful in applying this recommended practice.Clause 3 provides definitions that are either not found in other IEEE documents, or have been modified foruse with this recommended practice. Clause 4 establishes the safety precautions to be followed duringbattery installation, Clause 5 contains the recommended design criteria for storage, location, mounting.ventilation, instrumentation, preassembly, assembly, and charging of vented lead-acid batteries. Clause 6presents the recommended design procedures for storage, location, mounting, ventilation, instrumentation,preassembly, assembly, and charging of vented lead-acid batteries. Clause 7 describes the suggested recordsto be maintained.
This recommended practice also contains three annexes. Annex A provides methods for measuringconnection resistances.Annex B provides information on internal ohmic measurements. Annex C providesbibliographical references.
1.1 Scope
This recommended practice provides recommended design practices and procedures for storage, location,mounting, ventilation, instrumentation, preassembly, assembly, and charging of vented lead-acid batteriesRequired safety practices are also included. This recommended practice is applicable to full float stationaryapplications where a battery charger normally maintains the battery fully charged and provides the directcurrent (dc) loads. However, specific applications, such as emergency lighting units, semiportableequipment, and alternate energy applications, may have other appropriate practices that are beyond thescope of this recommended practice.
The portions of this recommended practice that specifically relate to personnel safety are mandatorynstructions and are designated by the word shall; all other portions are recommended practices and aredesignated by the word should.
Sizing, maintenance, capacity testing, charging equipment, dry-charged cells, and consideration of othertypes of batteries are beyond the scope of this recommended practice.
1.2 Purpose
This recommended practice is meant to provide organizations with criteria to be used for storage, locationmounting, ventilation, instrumentation, preassembly, assembly, and charging of vented lead-acid batteries.
2.References
This recommended practice shall be used in conjunction with the following publications. When thefollowing specifications are superseded by an approved revision, the revision shall apply.”

3. Definitions
For the purposes of this recommended practice, the following terms and definitions apply. The AuthoritativeDictionary ofIEEE Standards Terms and Definitions, Seventh Edition (B2] should be referenced for termsnot defined in this clause.
3.1 vented battery: A battery in which the products of electrolysis and evaporation are allowed to escapefreely to the atmosphere. These batteries are commonly referred to as “flooded.” Syn: vented cell.
4. Safety
The safety precautions listed herein shall be followed during battery installation. Work on batteries shall beperformed only by knowledgeable personnel with proper, safe tools and protective equipment.
