Battery Racks Metal racks for mounting the Victory Class Batteries are available in
two-tier single row and two-tier two-row configurations. These stands
have been designed and tested to meet various seismic zones and
requirements(i.e.,Bellcore GR63-CORE,Uniform Building Code,and
PacBell). The racks are contructed using xx AWG steel and are epoxy
coated to prevent corrosion.
Tables 2-B and 2-C provide the dimensions in inches of the battery
racks. Figure 2-3 illustrates the three measurements listed, which are
given in the following order: length (L), width (W), and maximum
installed height (H).
S-S and E-E refer to the orientation of the racks, and are designated as
follows:
(S-S) = Cells placed Side-to-Side, or with plates perpendicular to rails
(E-E) = Cells placed End-to-End, or with plates parallel to rails
Table 2-B provides information on 24V systems; Table 2-C gives
information for 48V systems.
