High Performance Battery Backup Surge Protectors
Battery backup surge protectors are critical pieces of equipment. In emergency system applications, SPDs are now a NEC requirement.
Devices are to be applied to backup or emergency power system scenarios. The purpose of such devices help to ensure reliability and dependability of the emergency power supply.
If electronics and electrical equipment are important enough to warrant a battery backup system, the backup system should be important enough to warrant proper surge protection. High Quality, High Performance, Full Spectrum ProtectionTM surge protective devices (SPDs) are the solution.
Common Battery Back Up Applications
Individual battery backup units and larger backup systems are used in multiple applications for numerous electrical emergency power needs. Common locations and uses for battery backup equipment include but are not limited to:
- Hospitals
- Power Plants/Sub-Stations
- Solar Power Systems
- Wind Power Systems
- Data Centers
- Telecommunication Networks
- Satellite Communication Facilities
- Cellular Towers
- Fiber Optics
- Emergency Communication Centers (911)
- Computer Centers
- Access Control Panels
- Security Camera Systems
- Alarm Systems
- Sump Pump Systems
- Lighting Systems
- Standby/Backup Generators
Many systems and sensitive equipment have UPS or multiple UPS for primary power disruption events. In addition to uninterruptible power supply devices, battery bank applications are also applied and found in power plants, sub stations, telecommunication facilities, commercial wind and solar farm scenarios.
Battery
banks are commonly used in support of large, multiple UPS equipment scenarios and other emergency power applications.

The Right SPDs Installed At The Right Locations
Placing the Right SPD, in the Right Location, with the Right Installation provides the best surge protection option.
A layered protection approach on the power side and data line protection on the signal side using Surge Protective Devices is recommended. A layered or cascade protection approach is recommended by IEEE. This design provides best practice when protecting sensitive electronics and critical equipment.
Each battery backup surge protector scenario may be different. However, here are general location recommendations for backup system SPDs:
- Charge Controllers
- Inverters/Rectifiers
- AC Distribution Panel
- Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
- UPS
- Data Lines
Applications protect the upstream inverters/rectifiers, charge controllers, distribution panels and other equipment from damaging transient voltage. As designed, this method provides layered protection for the battery bank.
