Emergency Procedure
In case of fire or smoke
Immediately initiate emergency shutdown. Use the system’s E-stop button to shut down the battery energy storage system and isolate the battery cabinet from loads. The E-Stop button is designed to immediately isolate the battery cabinet from the inverter (PCS) by opening the high-voltage box’s dual redundant contacts for both the positive and negative terminals. Once activated, the battery is completely de-energized and physically disconnected from all external conductors that leave the cabinet for total interruption of current flow.
Evacuate the area. Alert nearby personnel and evacuate to a safe distance.
Call emergency services. Contact the local fire department and inform them of lithium-ion batteries' presence and location.
In case of battery electrolyte leakage
Evacuate and ventilate. Move all personnel from the affected area and ensure proper ventilation to disperse potentially hazardous fumes.
Avoid contact with leaked material. Use appropriate PPE (e.g., gloves, goggles, respirators) to prevent chemical exposure.
Isolate the area. Cordon off the area to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.
Contact a certified technician. Arrange for safe cleanup and disposal of leaked materials by a trained professional, following local regulations for hazardous waste.
In case of electric shock
Immediately disconnect power (if it is safe to do so). Safely reach the E-stop button, trigger the system’s emergency shutdown procedure, and cut off power to the affected equipment. Do not touch the victim directly if they are still in contact with a live electrical source.
Call emergency medical services. Seek immediate medical attention for the individual affected.
Do not touch the victim with bare hands. If the power cannot be disconnected, use a non-conductive object (such as a wooden pole) to separate the victim from the electrical source. Ensure your own safety first.
