The Eaton®xStorage 400 provides advanced energy storage capabilities used to minimize a customer’s
exposure to high demand charges from the local utility company. The xStorage 400 allows customers to reduce
operating costs through energy market participation. The xStorage 400 can draw power from the batteries as
needed to decrease the load seen by the utility at a specific time.
The xStorage 400 is protected by a weathertight cabinet. The cabinet has been tested to IP24 standards as part
of its UL listing and is designed to meet 3R requirements. Constructed primarily of aluminum, the cabinet is
designed for corrosion resistance. The external panels are fixed to the frame, and the four front doors provide
internal access for trained service personnel.
The cabinet is custom-designed to preclude contact with internal energized equipment and to prevent the entry
of dirt, rain, sleet, and snow. The all-weather cabinet design ensures the internal components are kept within
their operating temperature range.
Eyelets are provided on the roof of the cabinet for use during manufacture of the equipment. The eyelets are
not rated to lift the cabinet once it has been populated with equipment. Once populated with equipment,
the cabinet must be lifted using the forklift openings near the bottom of the cabinet.
Electrical penetrations are made in the bottom of the enclosure. Refer to paragraph
4.5 External AC Power Wiring Installation for conduit and cable entry location information.

11..11..11 IInnvveerrtteerr SSyysstteemm
The inverter system consists of two individual bi-directional inverters, referred to as Energy Conversion
Modules (ECMs), paralleled to each other, in order to provide the required power output to the load. The
inverters are designed to run in parallel with the incoming utility to the customer load. Under charging mode,
the inverter directs energy from the utility and charges the battery system. During high loading events, the
inverter converts DC energy from the battery to C power to supplement the utility load.
The inverter system is housed in a metal frame with its associated power electronics, separate from the
battery system.
The inverter system also contains an input/output (IO) section which acts as a landing point for external power
and control connections as well as the battery connections. This section also contains control and monitoring
hardware to connect to Eaton’s PredictPulse dashboard and provide energy service control.
11..11..22 BBaatttteerryy SSyysstteemm
Electrical energy storage is provided by the Samsung®lithium-ion battery system. The battery system is
composed of 36 battery modules installed in four battery racks. The batteries are monitored and controlled by
the Samsung Battery Management System (BMS).
11..11..33 CCoooolliinngg aanndd HHeeaattiinngg
The battery system and select portions of the inverter system are normally cooled by roof-mounted HV C
units. For select systems located in areas subject to frequent temperatures below freezing, a cold weather kit
may be installed. Heaters are integrated into the roof-mounted HV C units.
The HV C units recirculate internal air to keep the internal equipment below the maximum value permitted by
the battery compartment temperature specifications detailed in paragraph 10.5 Environmental Specifications.
The HV C cooling operation is expected during battery charging, battery discharging, and standby operation
with high ambient temperatures. The HV C units are controlled by a common thermostat and controller
installed on the inner surface of a cabinet door.
The cold weather kit includes louvers, actuators, and sensors that cool the batteries using a portion of the
airstream from the inverter cooling system (described in paragraph 1.1.4 Inverter Cooling System). When
outdoor temperatures fall below approximately -7°C (20°F), the cold weather kit will operate in lieu of the
rooftop HV C units to keep the internal equipment below the maximum value permitted by the battery
compartment temperature specifications detailed in paragraph 10.5 Environmental Specifications. Cold
weather kit cooling operation is expected during battery charging and battery discharging with low ambient
temperatures.
Heaters are integrated into the HV C units and keep the internal equipment above minimum value permitted
by the battery compartment temperature specifications detailed in paragraph
10.5 Environmental Specifications. Heater operation is expected during low ambient temperatures.
11..11.. IInnvveerrtteerr CCoooolliinngg SSyysstteemm
The inverter system is cooled by filtered, unconditioned external air. External air is pulled from the front of the
cabinet, through the filters, blowers, and inlet plenum; this filtered air is then passed through the equipment
and exhausted through another set of filters located on the roof of the cabinet. Each of the two inverter
sections is cooled by a dedicated blower.
The inlet and outlet filters are designed to maintain the weathertight performance of the cabinet. The inlet
filters also serve to preclude the introduction of dust or debris into the equipment during cooling. n air
pressure sensor is included to provide early warning of a dirty or clogged inlet filter.

11..11..55 HHyyddrrooggeenn DDeetteeccttiioonn
The Samsung lithium-ion batteries installed in the xStorage 400 have been tested to UL 9540 standards to
ensure that flammable gas will not be released in the event of a battery cell thermal runaway. In the unlikely
event that battery failure that causes a battery module rupture, hydrogen gas may be released. Hydrogen gas
can ignite if allowed to build to the lower flammability limit. To preclude this, the xStorage 400 is equipped with
a hydrogen venting system that continuously monitors the cabinet atmosphere for hydrogen concentration. If
hydrogen is detected, the xStorage 400 will automatically shut down and the two dampers will open to
ventilate the enclosure.

The dashboard provided by Eaton PredictPulse offers 24x7 insight into the health of the xStorage 400
system. The dashboard will offer information and control for the system, including:
• System-level status, alarms, and telemetry
• bility to view and change energy service configuration parameters

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the
Eaton xStorage 400 system. Read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for
future reference.
The Eaton xStorage 400 system is designed for outdoor usage, and contains safety shields behind the door and
front panels. However, the system is a sophisticated power system and should be handled with appropriate
care.
This system contains LETH L VOLT GES. ll repairs and service should be performed by UTHORIZED
SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There are NO USER SERVICE BLE P RTS inside the Eaton xStorage 400.
Doors are to be kept closed and opened by UTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
• The xStorage 400 system is powered by its own energy source (batteries). The output terminals may carry
live voltage even when the system is disconnected from an C source.
• s a result of the connected loads high leakage current is possible. Connection to earth ground is required
for safety and proper product operation. Do not check xStorage 400 system operation by any action that
