There is nothing better than seeing proven results in the field. Deka Fahrenheit and all Deka batteries are built to last, with the end user and application always in mind. Take a quick look at how premium Deka batteries are the perfect power solution for your application, and read the whole story linked below:
THE BACKGROUND
A substation is a high-voltage electric system facility. Commonly referred to as switchgear, it is used to switch generators, equipment, and circuits or lines in and out of a system. Substations also have batteries to ensure all the essential electrical systems continue to operate in the event of a power outage. The batteries supply the power to manage the protective devices and high voltage components to safely isolate electrical faults. This is crucial to keep the substation controls and remote access up and running to get the power restored as quickly and safely as possible. An absolute loss of electrical supply could result in damage to costly equipment.
THE CHALLENGE AND CLEAR SOLUTION
Knowing how important power is to this system, specifying the best battery to supply industrial substations is critical.
The ideal power solution choice was Deka Fahrenheit heat-tolerant (VRLA) batteries. This 12-volt monobloc front access design battery is built to withstand extreme heat, surviving up to 3X longer in temperatures 140°F (60°C) or higher. Additionally, the Deka Fahrenheit is certified and meets NERC standard PRC-005 which emphasizes the safety and reliability of the electric system.
Deka Fahrenheit’s extraordinary performance in harsh and extreme environments is due to the battery’s revolutionary and exclusive Thermal Management Technology System, featuring Helios Additive, THT Plastic, and TempX alloys which limits corrosion and optimizes compression.
THE RESULTS
Two strings (20 total batteries) of Deka Fahrenheit HT145ET were installed. After eight years in this high stakes and high voltage environment, the batteries did not leave this substation in the dark. At the end of the eight years, they provided capacities of 87% at the 8-hour rate, and over 82% for a 3-hour rate.
THE DEKA DIFFERENCE
Deka batteries are always built with consistent quality and performance in mind by East Penn employees. Deka lead technology batteries are the safe and reliable solution to help you reach your performance, sustainability, and cost goals.
