Energy storage container grounding requirements
The grounding connection should be made using conductive materials, typically copper or aluminum, and should be securely connected to the BESS and the grounding electrode.

Safety Guidelines for Grounding of Storage ContainersGrounding is an effective way to dissipate this built-up static charge safely.It involves creating a direct pathway for the electric charge to flow into the earth.Usually achieved by connecting the container with a conductive material (like a copper wire) that leads directly into the ground.
This includes specifying grounding conductors, grounding electrodes, and establishing a grounding scheme that minimizes potential differences between equipment.
6 FAQs about [Energy storage container grounding requirements]
Can pre-engineered and self-contained energy storage systems have working space?
Language found in the last paragraph at 706.10 (C) advises that pre-engineered and self-contained energy storage systems are permitted to have working space between components within the system in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and listing of the system.
What is required working space in and around the energy storage system?
The required working spaces in and around the energy storage system must also comply with 110.26. Working space is measured from the edge of the ESS modules, battery cabinets, racks, or trays.
What is electrical design for a battery energy storage system (BESS) container?
Electrical design for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) container involves planning and specifying the components, wiring, and protection measures required for a safe and efficient operation. Key elements of electrical design include:
What are the energy storage operational safety guidelines?
In addition to NYSERDA’s BESS Guidebook, ESA issued the U.S. Energy Storage Operational Safety Guidelines in December 2019 to provide the BESS industry with a guide to current codes and standards applicable to BESS and provide additional guidelines to plan for and mitigate potential operational hazards.
How many volts can a dwelling unit energy storage system handle?
For dwelling units, an ESS cannot exceed 100 volts between conductors or to ground. An exception dictates that where live parts are not accessible during routine ESS maintenance, voltage exceeding 100 volts is permitted at the dwelling unit energy storage system. This information can be found at 706.30 (A).
Are energy storage systems safe?
The emergence of energy storage systems (ESSs), due to production from alternative energies such as wind and solar installations, has driven the need for installation requirements within the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the safe installation of these energy storage systems.
