Stationary bateries

A stationary battery consists of an appropriate number of cells or monoblocks linked together in a row to achieve a desired on-load voltage. The cells (or the multi-cell batteries) are housed in a freestanding transparent container. The base of the battery container has two pairs of openings against which sets of positive and negative plates are rested. Positive and negative plates are connected together via welded bridges to comprise sets of plates (+) and (-). Multi-polar plates, connected together and segregated by isolating shields (separators) comprise groups of plates which are then placed in the battery container. Each bridge has at least one terminal extending beyond the surface of the top cover. An individual container is closed with a cover, and a multi-cell container (block) is closed with a single lid covering all of the cells. Installed cells are arranged in an insulated manner, ensuring a high level of grounded battery resistance. Cells or multi-cell batteries are connected in series to produce a stationary battery of the desired voltage. This linkage is accomplished via plumbiferous connectors (of the appropriate size) welded to terminals, or via paired connectors.

Applications

Stationary batteries are used as a source of emergency power in telecommunications, the power industry, hospitals, industrial plants, public buildings and on trains. Because of their high reliability, they are a dependable source of energy for operating rooms, telephone exchanges, steering instruments, power plants, switching stations, emergency lighting systems and many other critical and high priority systems.
