5 of NFPA 855, we learn that individual ESS units shall be separated from each other by a minimum of three feet unless smaller separation distances are documented to be adequate and approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) based on large-scale fire testing. Therefore, if. . sted to UL 9540. According to UL 9540 the separation between batteries should e 3ft (91. UL 9540 also provides that equipment evaluated to UL 9540A with a written report from a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL), such as ETL, can be permitted to be installed with less than 3ft. . The UL 9540A testing shows that the manufacturers installation and spacing recommendations included in these products' Quick Installation Guides (QIG) are adequate and allow a separation distance less than 3 ft. The testing confirmed that thermal runaway “did not propagate from module to module in. . The spacing requirement for energy storage cabinets is influenced by several critical factors that are essential for safety and operational efficiency. Adequate airflow is crucial, preventing overheating during operation. When this provision was written, the term “unit” identified an assembly of battery cells and other essential components for composing a single functional energy. .
