Overview
Function
Batteries are connected to the GPS2436 cabinets on battery connection panels located in the
cabinet directly below or behind the ac input panel. All panels include the battery shunt and an
alarm card that communicates with the controller to provide battery current and status
information. The panel includes a low voltage battery disconnect/reconnect (LVBD/R) contactor.
When equipped with contactors, a contactor control card provides local/manual control of the
contactors and a shunt to monitor battery charge/discharge current.
