Battery Backup (Multicarrier System)
A battery supply and an inverter can be used to provide standby power for up to 8 hours after a
commercial power failure.
When standby power is provided, the following items must be taken into consideration:
● Size and weight of the batteries
● Size and weight of the inserter(s)
● Heat dissipation
● Air flow and circulation
● Items of equipment to receive power
This standby power system contains the following:
● Inverter
● Batteries
● Battery stand
The system requires a
120-volt AC input that is provided by the inverter. The size of the inverter
is determined by the carrier configuration and the additional equipment to be provided with power
in the event of a commercial power failure. The size of the battery supply required depends upon
the length of time power is to be provided and the particular power demands of the system.
Tables AN and AO show the approximate power consumption requirements that can be used to
size the system for emergency generators or battery backup.
