External Breaker Handle
C&C Power’s External Breaker Handle allows technicians to operate the battery circuit breaker without opening the cabinet door. This design helps improve operator safety by reducing exposure to energized components while providing a convenient, accessible means of isolating the battery system during installation and maintenance.
- Operate Without Opening the Cabinet: Open or close the main battery breaker from outside the enclosure.
- Enhanced Technician Safety: Minimizes exposure to energized components during normal operation.
- Fast Disconnect: Quick access to disconnect the battery system when needed.
Split String Through Breaker
C&C Power’s Split String Through Breaker provides a safer and more efficient method of isolating battery strings during service. This feature helps reduce technician exposure to hazardous DC voltage while simplifying maintenance procedures.
How It Works
Under normal operation, both battery half strings are connected in series to provide full system voltage. When the external breaker handle is opened, the Split String Through Breaker divides the battery string into two isolated half strings, significantly reducing the voltage present on each section.
- Reduced Voltage Exposure: Opening the breaker separates the battery string into two lower-voltage half strings.
- Improved Maintenance Safety: Allows technicians to work on the battery system with significantly reduced voltage potential.
48V Breakdown Safety Shield – Patent US9570732B2
C&C Power’s patented 48V Breakdown Safety Shield helps improve battery maintenance safety by allowing technicians to reduce accessible string voltage to a maximum of 48V before servicing. By limiting exposure to higher voltages, the system helps reduce the risk of accidental electrical contact while maintaining system reliability.
Key Features
- Patented Insulating Shields: Demountable shield with apertures allow the technician to divide the series string into multiple 48V sub-strings for safer maintenance.
- Aperture Covers: Insulated apertures provide access to one connection at a time while minimizing voltage exposure.
- Regulation Adherence: Ensures voltage exposure remains below 48VDC nominal in accessible areas, reducing the need for special protective equipment.
- Insulating Barriers: Prevent accidental contact with higher-voltage battery terminals during service.
How it Works:
- The battery string is separated into multiple 48V sections using the patented shield.
- Technicians access only the required connection through a covered aperture.
- Maintenance is performed with safer voltage level exposure.
Tiered Battery Cabinet – Patent US10312484B2
C&C Power’s patented Tiered Battery Cabinet improves battery accessibility by arranging battery trays in progressively stepped tiers. This innovative design provides convenient top and front access to battery terminals, making installation, inspection, and maintenance safer, faster, and more efficient while maximizing cabinet space.
Key Features:
- Patented Tiered Design: Stepped battery trays provide unobstructed access to battery terminals.
- Flexible Battery Compatibility: Supports batteries with either top or front terminals.
- Simplified Maintenance: Batteries can be installed, serviced, or replaced without interference from adjacent tiers.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Efficiency: Reduces installation and maintenance time.
- Improved Ergonomics: Makes battery connections easier to reach.
- Reliable Performance: Minimizes unnecessary connections to help reduce resistance and simplify long-term maintenance.
