Anyone know what the regs are with regards emergency backup power for AOV panels?
Can AOV panels be battery backup only to drive the AOV in a fire situation or is a standby generator required in the event of mains failure?
Any cheaper solutions to a standby generator?

I'm suspecting it is not suitable as it will have a floating earth, chassis...

Hi everyone,
Don't know if I'm in the right section for this. I've been asked to find out how many battery strings it would take to provide 120hrs of backup for an 800w (16.67A @ 48vdc) load.
I have 4 x 12v 100Ah batteries connected in series and then each string in parallel. I need around 10%...

Is Sunny Backup available in the Uk - is it G83 approved? I have a customer who wants a 4kwp system with some sort of backup for the 4/5 times a year he gets power cuts. I'm thinking even if it's available it's going to be too expensive????
What is the proper procedure for ELI testing circuits with UPS back up, ie radial circuits under computor room floors?

Thanks.
