Source disconnects isolate power production equipment from the remainder of the premise wiring. Depending on the ESS design and components, a combination of source and equipment disconnects might be needed to isolate the ESS from other systems, the premise wiring, and the utility grid.
Storage System Maintenance Disconnecting Means. ESS exceeding 100 volts between conductors or to ground shall have a disconnecting means, accessible only to qualified persons, that disconnects ungrounded and grounded circuit conductor (s) in the electrical storage system for maintenance.
The disconnecting means shall be legibly marked in the fi eld. The marking shall meet the requirements of 110.21(B) and shall include the following: The associated clearing time or arc duration based on the available short-circuit current from the ESS and associated overcurrent protective devices if applicable.
Isolation disconnects may be energized from both directions, such as a DC switch or a fuse between an inverter and a DC-interconnected battery. Isolation disconnects do not have to be readily accessible. Those devices that may remain energized in the open position shall be properly labeled, per 2017 NEC 690.13(B) and 2020 NEC 705.20.
Depending on the ESS design and components, a combination of source and equipment disconnects might be needed to isolate the ESS from other systems, the premise wiring, and the utility grid. Disconnect devices may satisfy source and equipment requirements within a single enclosure or switch.
An ESS equipment disconnect should be able to de-energize the equipment from all power sources and monitor that the system stays de-energized as long as needed. Source disconnects isolate power production equipment from the remainder of the premise wiring.
