Central Battery Systems

Through surveys, lighting design, supply and installation we have your emergency lighting needs covered. Explore our range of self-contained emergency lighting products and power units covering single phase compact units to larger scale three phase units fully compliant to EN 50171.

Services and Solutions

The power systems team at Llumarlite provide expertise at every stage of a project, delivering power solutions that are fully compliant to EN 50171.

The power systems technical design team can undertake a project from the initial survey, through the system design process, to the final installation phase as a standalone project or as part of a larger lighting scheme.

From single phase compact units covering 240 < 2,400 Watts of connected load, to hot swappable 4kVA < 24kVA modular units and larger scale three phase from 10 kVA < 250kVA units, our team have your project needs covered.

Specifying

To deliver successful projects it is critical that the components and features will last for the life of the system. To provide clients with the best solutions we undertake regular reviews of all the products we specify to make sure they meet with our high standards.

The information below provides an insight into some of the criteria we use when designing our systems.

Rating
Our systems are designed to provide total connected emergency lighting load and will have a battery capable of providing either 1 or 3 hours autonomy for the life of the system. The units will be sized in accordance with BS EN 50171.

We also make sure that in accordance with BS 50171:2001 section 6.5.3. that inverters can start the lighting load in the mains failed mode and that they are capable of permanently handling 120% of the load requirement for the rated duration.

Batteries
At the end of the rated duration the battery voltage is designed to be no less than 90% of the nominal voltage. All of the batteries we specify will have a minimum 10 year design life and they will be sized to meet the declared performance for the life of the system.

Fault Clearance Capability
We design all our systems to provide clearance of downstream protective devices when operating from batteries. If this is not taken in considered there is potential that in the event of a main failure the unit may not supply the load.    

Recharge Time
Our systems are designed to recharge the batteries at the minimum rated voltage in 12 hours with the batteries able to discharge at 80% of the rated duration period of the system after a 12 hour recharge.
