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.
