IEEE 450-1975 PDF Download

IEEE 450-1975 is a recommended practice that focuses on the maintenance, testing, and replacement of large lead storage batteries used in generating stations and substations. These batteries are becoming increasingly significant in providing backup energy for emergencies and supporting control systems in these facilities. The standard aims to address the need for a common method or guide for selecting, applying, and installing batteries to meet station requirements.

However, the scope of this document is limited to providing recommendations for the maintenance, testing, and replacement of lead storage batteries. The standard recognizes the importance of ensuring the available capacity of the battery, particularly in the context of nuclear stations.
