Lead-acid battery lightning protection and grounding regulations for solar container communication stations

4 FAQs about Lead-acid battery lightning protection and grounding regulations for solar container communication stations

What is a stationary lead-acid battery (slab)?

Stationary lead-acid batteries (SLABs) provide power for telecommunication distribution centers, UPS systems and other applications. Installation of these batteries has caused increased awareness regarding battery spill containment systems and standards around OSHA battery storage.

Are ground connections necessary for lightning protection?

NFPA 780, Annex B.4.3, states that properly made ground connections are essential to the effective functioning of a lightning protection system, and every effort should be made to provide ample contact with the earth.

Is supplemental grounding necessary for lightning protection?

Supplemental grounding is necessary, however, where direct grounding is not provided. Ironically, 2003 then refers the reader to NFPA 780 (see below) for more information on grounding practices for lightning protection.

Are lead-acid batteries dangerous?

There are two hazardous components in lead-acid batteries, which need to be treated quite separately, the electrolytic solution and battery casing. The electrolytic solution is dilute sulphuric acid, which is a liquid and can leak from damaged batteries.
