Description

IEEE 450 – IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations

Revision Standard – Superseded.Large stationary lead storage batteries play an ever increasing role in substation and generatingstation control systems and in providing the backup energy for emergencies. A definite need existswithin the industry for an application guide and testing procedure to provide a common or standardmethod for selecting, applying, and installing batteries to meet station requirements. However,to provide a guide that can be used for determining the available capacity of the battery (especially for nuclear stations), this document will limit its scope to recommended practice for lead storage battery maintenance, testing. and replacement.
