6 FAQs about [Spacing between energy storage containers]

What is required working space in and around the energy storage system?

The required working spaces in and around the energy storage system must also comply with 110.26. Working space is measured from the edge of the ESS modules, battery cabinets, racks, or trays.

How much space does a battery container need?

During the design and planning phase, the project’s layout of the battery containers is of crucial importance; insurers would like as much space as possible between battery containers, with a minimum of 4.5 metre spacing.

Can pre-engineered and self-contained energy storage systems have working space?

Language found in the last paragraph at 706.10 (C) advises that pre-engineered and self-contained energy storage systems are permitted to have working space between components within the system in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and listing of the system.

Are energy storage systems connected to other energy sources?

Energy storage systems can be (and typically are) connected to other energy sources, such as the local utility distribution system. There may be one or more sources connected to an ESS. The connection to other energy sources is required to comply with the requirements of 705.12.

How far apart should storage units be positioned?

Therefore, if you install multiple storage units, you have to space them three feet apart unless the manufacturer has already done large-scale fire testing and can prove closer spacing will not cause fire to propagate between adjacent units.

How do I plan a new energy storage system?

It is important to plan and discuss the location of an energy storage system with the electrical inspection authorities before installation of this equipment. In many cases, this will include the building inspector and the fire marshal.
