• Be familiar with the composition and working principles of the BESS and its front- and
rear-level equipment.
• Have received professional training related to the installation and commissioning of
electrical equipment.
• Be able to quickly respond to hazards or emergencies that occur during installation and
commissioning.
• Be familiar with the relevant standards and specifications of the country/region where the
project is located.
1.2 Electrical Safety
• Touching the power grid or the contact points and terminals in the devices
connected to the power grid may lead to electric shock!
• The battery side or the power grid side may generate voltage. Always use a
standard voltmeter to ensure that there is no voltage before touching.
Lethal voltages are present inside the device!
• Note and observe the warnings on the product.
• Respect all safety precautions listed in this manual and other pertinent
documents.
• Respect the protection requirements and precautions of the lithium battery.

2
Electricity may still exist in the battery when the power supply of the BESS is
disconnected. Wait 5 minutes to ensure the equipment is completely voltage-free
before operating.
All operations, such as hoisting, transportation, installation, wiring, operation, and
maintenance must comply with the relevant codes and regulations of the region
where the project is located.
