Got Batteries? Key Concepts for Deploying NEC-Compliant Emergency Power

ATTENDEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.

A common perception is that Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) can be used to supply backup power. While true, a BESS can only supply backup power if it and its essential loads can isolate from the utility grid. Every facility that has used a BESS for emergency power has required a custom, multi-device, isolation solution to do so … until now.

Join us to explore the benefits that Automatic Interconnection Switches offer for backup and emergency power systems.

Learning objectives:

Which National Electrical Code® articles require grid isolation for inverter-controlled power sources such as BESSs
How the NEC enables BESSs to power standby and emergency loads directly
How the new UL 3008 – Outline of Investigation for Automatic Interconnection Switches for Emergency Systems builds on the field-proven safety requirements of the industry-renowned UL 1008 standard for transfer switches
How the newest Automatic Interconnection Switches can streamline the deployment of inverter-powered backup systems and optimize their costs

Experts will present applications and use cases for ASCO Power Technologies’ new SourcePacT™ Source Isolation Switch. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with experts that develop the industry’s most advanced emergency power solutions. By attending, specifiers, contractors, distributors, and technicians will be better equipped to help customers attain their most important power resilience, cost, and sustainability goals.
